Heath insurance for someone already diagnosed with Mental Illness "Schizophrenia"

21 Jun, 2023 | by Ashish Kumar Singh

The last time I asked this question here and enquired with several companies, i found that there are very few options for a person who is already suffering from a mental illness.

Recently I came to know about some circular about this from IRDA. Has there been any developments which will allow a person who suffers from mental illness to get a health insurance?

Hello Ashish,

Yes, in February 2023, IRDAI had asked insurers to introduce special insurance products for people with disabilities and mental illness.

There are 3 insurance companies who have launched these special insurance products -

Reliance General has launched a 'Specially Abled Health Insurance Plan'. This plan provides coverage to people with disabilities.
Oriental Insurance has launched a 'Saksham Swasthya Policy'. This policy covers those with disabilities, HIV /AIDs.
National Insurance has launched a 'Divyangjan Sanjeevani Policy'. This is specifically designed to cover people with disabilities, those with HIV /AIDs, those with mental illness/diseases.
