MENTAL HEALTH to be covered under HEALTH INSURANCE - Quote on Behalf of Dr. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Mpower

 

Dr. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Mpower- "We welcome the move announced by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority- IRDA, announcing all insurance products to cover mental illness and comply with the provisions of the MHC Act, 2017 without any deviation before October 31st. This is a progressive step to tackle the pandemic on mental health and this move will push people to seek support for mental health more willingly, encouraging patients to be more optimistic about their treatment options. A communicable disease (NCD), mental health, is the largest contributor to economic loss in India and is also known as a silent killer; its real impact on health is enormous. In the current scenario of spate of suicides and mental depression, prompt intervention and accurate diagnosis are crucial. We at Mpower in our earlier years recognized the need and importance of insurance cover for mental health treatment and collaborated with the Aditya Birla Health Insurance to offer the benefits of insurance cover for mental health thus benefiting many people. We are very optimistic that this move will create awareness and access for mental health services to a larger audience in need of mental health support and congratulate IRDA again for giving mental health the recognition and importance it requires, similar to that of maintaining physical health"
