Frequent Medical Expenses? Consider an OPD Health Subscription!
Healthcare plan providers, barring a few, design plans to exclude treatment that a patient requires regularly. The rising cost of healthcare, particularly outpatient care, necessitates the inclusion of OPD cover in a healthcare plan that helps insured people claim these expenses

Outpatient care can be very expensive and can quickly deplete your savings. Outpatient department (OPD) treatments account for approximately 62% healthcare costs in India. Unhealthy eating habits, stress and sedentary lifestyle has increased the cases of diabetes and hypertension in India. These health issues need vigilant and regular monitoring and treatment. The frequent tests and consultations during the treatment can turn out to be quite expensive and burn a big hole in your pocket. So, what should you do?
OPD expenses can arise anytime, which may topple the balance you’re trying to seek. Most Indian health plans only cover hospitalisation-related treatments, leaving outpatient care completely unaffordable. Healthcare plan providers, barring a few, design plans to exclude treatment that a patient requires regularly. The rising cost of healthcare, particularly outpatient care, necessitates the inclusion of OPD cover in a healthcare plan that helps insured people claim these expenses.
What is an OPD Health Subscription?
Unlike others, an OPD health subscription offers several benefits, including prepaid benefits for medical expenses incurred without being hospitalised. Doctor’s fees, medicine bills and diagnostic test costs are some common examples. They also prove extremely convenient and the financial burden for those with chronic conditions or pre-existing illnesses who require multiple OPD visits. Considering the rising expenses of OPD visits, Kenko Health has introduced subscription plans that cover everything from doctor fees to dental implants. The unique subscription plan delivers comprehensive healthcare services, including outpatient services.
