What is Corporate Health Insurance?
Corporate Health Insurance is a form of health insurance that provides coverage to a defined set of groups - the employees.
Let's say a group of employees are working in a corporate organization. To cover these individuals against accidents, illness or any other medical issues that may arise, the employer purchases a Corporate Health Insurance.
Why is a Corporate Insurance Policy For Employees Necessary?
Providing a corporate insurance policy for employees becomes very important in the current working landscape.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, providing a corporate insurance policy for employees was not mandatory. However, in response to the pandemic, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) subsequently issued a circular in 2020 circular requiring employers to provide compulsory corporate medical insurance plans to their employees.
Healthcare expenses often burn a hole in one’s pocket. By having a corporate health insurance plan with an adequate sum insured, you help your employees financially.
In some cases, when employees move to tier-1 or tier-2 cities for work, the medical expenses can skyrocket. Providing an adequate corporate mediclaim policy can make your employees less worried about these expenses and focus more on getting the work done.
