About

This week on The SOS Show, Suchita is joined by Mr. Kapil Mehta, the founder of Secure Now, an insurance brokering firm. MHCA 2017 has put physical and mental health as equally important. IRDAI has directed mental health insurance companies to include mental illnesses in their repertoire. But we are still very far from there. Some of the important pointers we talk: Lack of implementation of MHCA 2017 How do insurance companies define Mental Illnesses How many insurance companies have included mental health What is included in the insurance- as OPD plays an important part. What is the amount of insurance why are insurance companies hesitant in the following suit Why aren't caregivers included in this? Challenges and loopholes and how can we overcome them. How can you get mental health insurance! The great takeaway is to make data on Mental illnesses transparent and easily available so their understanding of mental illnesses makes the insurance more applicable. A small note: We at Ep.Log Media along with Metaphysical Lab have successfully produced 50+ episodes covering stories of people battling mental illnesses, to practitioners and mental health activists, the podcast has become a rich source of information on mental health, and also a platform for sharing lived experiences.  We do not wish to dilute the experience and essence of the show with advertisements.
 Hence, we seek support from patrons who believe in this cause, so that we can continue the production, global distribution, and promotion of the show, so that maximum people can take benefit from it..
