Maharashtra's Health Minister Rajesh Tope announced that all citizens of the state will be given a free health insurance scheme and will also become the first state in India to provide free cashless insurance to all its citizens. The announcement was made on the occasion of Maharashtra day.
On Friday, Tope said that 85 percent of Maharashtra's population was covered under the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MJPJAY) at present and the cover will be extended to the remaining 15 percent.
"A memorandum was signed to include government, semi-government employees and white ration cardholders in the scheme in a bid to prevent private hospitals from overcharging patients, he said. The government has signed a MoU with the General Insurance Public Sector Association (GIPSA) for treatment of COVID-19 patients at private hospitals in Pune and Mumbai," he said.
