Health Insurance Approved Ayurveda Medical Care
We are proud to declare that for many of our insurance partners, AyurVAID is the first and only Ayurveda hospital chain on their nationwide accredited hospitals network. With AyurVAID Hospitals also being registered under the Government of India’s Registry of Hospitals in Network of Insurance (ROHINI) as per the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) guidelines, AyurVAID Hospitals’ Ayurveda treatment gets covered in the health insurance policy under the clause relating to AYUSH or Alternative Medicine coverage.
Starting 1st January 2020, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has made it mandatory that for any new insurance products to be launched by insurance companies effective October 2020 to receive IRDAI approval, they should include coverage for Ayurveda/Ayush in-patient medical care1. However, when you buy a new insurance policy or renew an earlier one, it may be based on an earlier IRDAI-approved insurance product and may or may not have Ayush coverage. Thus, it is important for you to insist on Ayurveda/Ayush coverage up to the full sum covered without unreasonable restrictions/ sub-limits, etc. being imposed on you.
However, if your medical needs are covered by the company you work for under a corporate health insurance scheme, you may contact your HR Manager or Employee Benefits Manager OR the insurance company/TPA representative who services your insurance policy and seek clarification.
If you are still not sure, please contact us, and we will be happy to support you to ascertain if Ayurveda care is covered under your policy and if there are attendant special terms and conditions if any.

Upon completion of treatment, our insurance team will ensure that all documents for submission are accurate and complete so that you may leave the hospital on time, without hindrance, and with minimal inconvenience.
If you are entitled to or prefer to avail of treatment on a reimbursement basis, then upon conclusion of treatment we will provide you with all necessary medical and commercial documentation to submit a valid claim. Our hospital team will also guide you on the process and timelines to be adhered to in this regard.
