NITF ties up with Lanka Hospitals

The National Insurance Trust Fund (NITF) which provides insurance coverage for over 1.2 million government beneficiaries signed an agreement with Lanka Hospitals to provide Agrahara medical insurance beneficiaries easier access to medical facilities.

The partnership which has been carried out for the past three years between the two parties was recently extended for the fourth consecutive year.

Chief Executive Officer, Lanka Hospitals, Lakith Peiris said, "Through this partnership, Agrahara medical insurance beneficiaries can enjoy Lanka Hospital facilities such as low room rates with a discount of 10%, inpatient laboratory investigations - 10% discount, a 15% discount for outpatient laboratory services and 5% discount for radiology investigations."

"A dedicated counter for Agrahara medical insurance beneficiaries within the hospital premises will assist beneficiaries with their medical and insurance needs bringing further convenience and peace of mind," he said.

"The National Insurance Trust Fund has facilitated the electronic card system which contains all the personal details of the beneficiaries.

The electronic card enables Agrahara medical insurance beneficiaries to make payment at the Lanka Hospitals counters as and when treatment is obtained, as opposed to pocketing out the cash and having it reimbursed later," Peiris said.
