In a groundbreaking move, Toothlens has collaborated with Star Health Insurance and Vizza Broking Services to introduce India’s first cashless Dental OPD insurance program. This initiative aims to bring dental care under mainstream health insurance for the first time, addressing a significant gap in India’s healthcare system.
Addressing a Crucial Healthcare Gap
Millions of Indians currently lack access to affordable dental care, leading to untreated oral diseases and high out-of-pocket expenditures. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, with low and middle-income populations disproportionately affected. This new program provides individuals with cashless access to preventive and essential dental care, ensuring financial protection and promoting timely intervention.
Comprehensive Coverage
The program offers comprehensive coverage for a wide range of dental treatments, including:
Preventive Care: Tele-dental consultations, routine checkups, and X-rays.
Basic Treatments: Tooth-colored fillings, extractions, and professional cleanings.
Advanced Procedures: Root canals, crowns, tooth replacements, and gum treatments.
Partnerships and Expansion
Toothlens, Star Health, and Vizza plan to onboard 10,000 clinics and providers by the end of the year. Vizza Broking Services is crucial in ensuring the insurance product reaches a broad consumer base by streamlining distribution and accessibility.
