Ensuring Mental Health Coverage in Your Health Insurance Plan

In 2024, many health insurance policies in India are expanding their coverage to include mental health conditions, in line with the Mental Healthcare Act. This means that mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are now covered by some health insurance plans, ensuring access to necessary treatments like therapy, medications, and hospitalization. However, coverage varies by insurer and plan, so it’s important to carefully review the terms and conditions to ensure that mental health services are included. As awareness grows, more insurers are offering specialized plans to support mental well-being alongside physical health.
