Tata AIG Elder Care: Bridging the Protection Gap for India's Seniors

Tata AIG General Insurance Co. Ltd. is taking crucial steps towards supporting India's elderly population. On Senior Citizens Day, the company highlighted its health policy, TATA AIG Elder Care, designed for individuals 61 and older, offering comprehensive medical and lifestyle coverage.

A NITI Aayog report indicates that only 20% of India's elderly have health insurance, leaving 78% without pension coverage. This shortfall exposes seniors to financial risks, particularly with increasing healthcare costs and a rise in chronic diseases. TATA AIG Elder Care aims to fill this void by providing hospitalization cover, post-operative care, home treatment options, and more.

Mr. Dinesh Mosamkar, Senior VP at Tata AIG, emphasized the policy's role in promoting healthier, confident living for seniors. The extensive network of 12,000+ hospitals facilitates cashless treatments, and the policy's diverse benefits ensure comprehensive support for India's aging population.
