<h1>India's $37.7 billion OPD healthcare market has less than 0.1% insurance coverage despite rising medical costs</h1> A digital healthcare platform and industry association released a report highlighting India's OPD insurance gap. With medical inflation at 14% and households bearing 40% of healthcare costs, the report reveals India's $37.7 billion OPD market has less than 0.1% insurance coverage. Key findings show 61% of corporate employees use OPD benefits when available, medications comprise 60.3% of OPD costs, and hypertension affects one in four citizens. The report advocates for expanded OPD insurance coverage, citing upcoming regulatory reforms including a National Health Claims Exchange that could reduce processing costs significantly. It calls for insurers to develop comprehensive plans, employers to integrate OPD coverage into wellness programs, and policymakers to create supportive frameworks for broader healthcare access.
