Day Care Treatment
Daycare treatment in health insurance refers to a medical procedure or surgery undertaken under local or general anesthesia in a hospital in less than 24 hours because of technological advancement in medical science. Day care treatments do not require an overnight stay at the hospital.
Daycare treatments have revolutionised healthcare, providing swift, minimally invasive and painless interventions, which are efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional inpatient care.
Common daycare treatments include:
- Minor Surgeries: Cataract surgery, hernia repair, kidney stone removal etc.
- Diagnostic Tests: Endoscopy, colonoscopy etc.
- Chemotherapy and Dialysis
- Infusion Therapies
Hence, daycare treatment coverage in health insurance is important.
Most health insurance policies in India cover daycare treatments. However, the scope of coverage may vary depending on the policy. Some policies offer cover to just a list of specified daycare procedures. Also, there may be waiting periods or disease-wise sub-limits applied on some daycare treatments. Carefully read the terms of your policy to understand these exclusions or limitations.
