This option will be an add-on cover which can be opted by the holders of company’s existing health insurance policy – Health Ensure.

The premium will range between Rs. 1,894 to Rs. 7,365 for an individual policyholder excluding GST. Additionally, on opting for this add-on cover one can avail a 25% discount on the premium.

Once the policyholder agrees to opt for the add-on cover, GOQii will on-board the customer on their app to monitor their engagement level and also dispatch the health band. Policy will start with a co-pay of 50% i.e. the Bronze level of engagement. On completion of day 60, and post that after every 30 days, the insured can check his/her engagement level and co-pay level on the GOQiiApp itself. Based on the engagement level, the co-pay percentage will change. As the engagement level increases, the co-pay percentage will go down and if the engagement level decreases, the co-pay percentage will move up, however the maximum co-pay level would not be more than 50% i.e. the Bronze level.

With this add-on cover offered under the regulatory sandbox, our aim is to ensure consumers benefit in the form of their co-pay percentage based on their engagement level on the platform provided by GOQii. The more customers work towards their wellness, better will be their health and lower will be their co-pay percentage. I hope that such benefits will attract more people to opt for health insurance and encourage them to take care of their health as well.”

In the current times of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become extremely imperative for individuals to build strong immunity by eating right and exercising enough to get healthy.

This Co-Pay product is a historic step that will lead to an increase in the penetration of health insurance in the country by incentivising more people to adapt a healthier lifestyle and reducing overall healthcare costs,” said Vishal Gondal, Founder & CEO, GOQii.
