ICICI Lombard General Insurance has joined hands with leading healthcare platform Practo to launch a health insurance app ‘IL TakeCare’ which will take care of outpatient (OPD) expenses of all its customers.
"The app meets key customer requirements with respect to their primary healthcare needs. This includes hassle-free, real-time claim authentication of expenses such as doctor consultation, medical tests and pharmacy spends. It also empowers the user to access a cashless network comprising specialised doctors," ICICI Lombard General Insurance MD and CEO Bhargav Dasgupta said.
The ‘IL TakeCare’ application works in sync with Practo’s Trinity technology to allow customers to make cashless visits to doctors including those who operate stand-alone clinics.
The app also allows users to book a network diagnostic centre for medical tests and receive the results on the app, which automatically becomes an online repository of medical records. They can also buy medicines at discounted rates and pick them from a medical store or get delivery at their home.
"It comes with a one-time password for all transactions via mobile or email and provides multiple access points for family members. The solution will be made available to customers with due consent of the regulator," Dasgupta said.
“Practo has been working towards simplifying the healthcare experience for customers. We are launching our Trinity technology to help patients get a paperless and cashless consultation experience at neighbourhood clinics. It will also help the doctor community provide a better, more seamless experience to their patients,” Practo Founder and CEO Shashank ND said.
