Healthcare costs can increase rapidly with age. Doctor consultations, OPD, tests, medicines, surgeries, hospitalisation, eye care, dental care, physiotherapy… the costs just keep adding up. No insurance plan, even if available for seniors, covers all these expenses. Even when you pay yourself in cash, you end up paying higher than insurance companies with no option of second opinion on estimates that hospitals give you.
The Health Privilege Plan from Samarth, India’s largest community of elderly, helps cut all type of medical costs and get personal assistance for less than Rs. 5 to Rs 8 per day. Covering more than 9,500 hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, path labs, pharmacies in many cities and offering discounts even on surgeries & hospitalisation for the first time, it is of great value both as a substitute for and as a complement to Health Insurance for senior citizens.
Samarth Health privilege card offers the most comprehensive coverage for all healthcare needs at an extremely low cost.
