Janashakthi launches cashless hospitalisation plan

Janashakthi Insurance Company launched a convenient method of settling hospitalisation bills with 'Janashakthi Pay Direct', the cashless hospitalisation plan.

In the event of a sickness, which demands hospitalisation, the policyholder can simply submit a 'Janashakthi pay direct' membership card to the hospital. There will be no cash required, which is unlike in the case of traditional reimbursement policies. The membership card will allow the customer to be admitted to the hospital without an initial deposit whilst allowing the customer to be discharged from the hospital without even paying a single cent. The hospital payment will be settled through Janashakthi Pay Direct.

"Janashakthi Pay Direct - Cashless hospitalisation is designed to provide the customer with financial assistance that they will require in an emergency. We have certainly understood the need and we believe in providing an unparalleled solution, although health insurance in general make thin margins the world over," said the Managing Director of Janashakthi Insurance Company, C. T. A. Schaffter.

"It's time that we seek how best we can manage uncertainties rather than seeking solutions for them. This concept replaces the traditional hospitalisation reimbursement schemes prevailing in the market, where policyholders will have to make payments either from borrowings or using their savings," said Deputy General Manager Sales and Marketing of Janashakthi Insurance, Ravi Liyanage.
