The current coronavirus pandemic has taken the lives of 783K people worldwide and has affected more than 22.2 million people. At present there has been no substantial vaccine or medication for the virus and the only way it is being treated is by managing the symptoms.

High Medical Bills

Supposing one tests positive for COVID, the medical bill can hit an exorbitant amount, therefore, one can go for the Corona Kavach Policy. IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) recently launched the scheme keeping in view the current situation.

One can go for a cashless claim at a network hospital or reimbursement claim at non-network hospitals.

Millennials have shown a strong interest in the policy

MD and CEO, Max Bupa Health Insurance, Krishnan Ramachandran stated “So far, the highest purchase for Max Bupa Corona Kavach plan is by millennials as 43% buyers are in the age group of 18-30 years. The trend shows that there is a demand for short-term COVID-19-specific covers, especially among the first-time buyers of health insurance. The uncertainty around COVID-19 is leading people to buy health cover for themselves and their families.”

  • Corona virus

The pandemic has instilled a feeling of ‘safeguarding’ in the millennials and now they feel the importance of having health insurance in their financial portfolio. The pandemic has not only affected the physical body of the people but also the psychological health.

Before the spread of COVID-19, the millennials were least bothered about having a health plan that covered diseases like Coronavirus (COVID-19).
