Understanding Health Insurance for Healthcare Financing

Courses

Health insurance schemes are recognized as an effective means to address healthcare needs among the impoverished. These schemes provide fair, efficient, and accountable services, reducing the burden of catastrophic health incidents and consequent financial hardships. In the Indian context, initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (ABPMJAY) and state-sponsored insurance schemes have played a significant role in fostering equal access to healthcare services, consequently mitigating the risk of impoverishment. The implementation of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (ABPMJAY) highlights a pressing need to enhance and fortify the knowledge and expertise of healthcare professionals in relation to fundamental insurance principles. There is definitely a gap in the understanding of current concepts and context and in the capacity to design, implement and monitor health insurance schemes. There is also a need for all players in health insurance including government officials, insurance companies, third party administrators, hospitals, regulators, etc. to be on the same platform and discuss the emerging issues in health insurance. It is crucial to equip them with a comprehensive understanding of insurance concepts.
