    Few Group health insurance policies have a clause that prevents them from settling pandemic or epidemic related claims. Covid-19 was declared a pandemic by the World health organization which means that most group health insurance policies would not settle the covid-related claims. The coronavirus has made a serious impact on the lives of Indians and the insurance regulator in India, Insurance regulatory and development authority of India has directed all the insurance companies to settle the covid-19 claims even though it is declared a pandemic.

    The Government of India has even asked the organizations working during the pandemic period to take a covid specific health insurance policies to safeguard their employees from corona related hospitalization expenses. As per the direction of IRDA, insurance companies have introduced covid specific health insurance policies known as Corona Rakshak and Corona Kavach which cover people on individual as well as group levels. The government of India has made it mandatory to avail Group health assure policy which covers the covid related hospitalization expenses for those companies working during the pandemic period.

    Corona specific policies are introduced by the insurance companies and cover the inpatient treatment related to coronavirus which requires basic hospitalization. The maximum sum insured under the corona specific health insurance policies was Rs. 2 Lakhs which was limited and the cost of corona treatment was way above this amount. Most of the health insurance policies which are already taken by the customers also cover the corona related expenses up to the sum insured limit available under the policy.
