“Edelweiss General Insurance includes the LGBTQIA+ community for its Group Health Insurance policy”
Mumbai, September 8: Digital insurer Edelweiss General (EGI) has announced that it has extended its Group Health Insurance policy to include members of the LGBTQIA+ community. EGI’s revamped group health policy now covers both LGBTQIA+ and unmarried partners (partners of the same or another gender who may be living in). The policy will also cover disabled children without any age limit and dependent children (with no disability) up to 30 years of age.
EGI’s policy is a big step towards a more inclusive healthcare framework, given the fact that, traditionally, group health policies only included the legally wedded spouse of individuals. Companies opting for EGI’s group health coverage can now offer comprehensive coverage customized for the needs of diverse employees.
Commenting on this development, Pooja Yadav, Chief Product Officer of Edelweiss General Insurance, said, “As an organization, we believe in diversity and inclusion. Access to good healthcare is every individual’s right. We are happy to extend our policy to include members of the LGBTQIA+ community and unmarried partners. We must keep pace with the evolving definition of family. We are positive that our small step will help slowly transform workplaces and help build a more welcoming work atmosphere for the LGBTQIA community.”
EGI’s group health insurance policy takes care of all hospitalization expenses, pre and post-hospitalization expenses (30 and 60 days, respectively), daycare treatments, domiciliary hospitalization and AYUSH treatments. The policy can be customized as per the requirement of the customers.
The policy also offers many other benefits, including:
