Are you suffering from diabetes, arthritis or any other chronic disease and opting for ancient forms of medicine? The good news is insurance cover is available for such patients. After some insurance companies began recognizing ayurvedic treatment, many are going ahead with cashless transactions or 80% reimbursements for chronic diseases. Not just that, Karnataka has recognized 15 ayurvedic hospitals for its employees who can undergo treatment and even claim reimbursement. 

The Ayush department is in the process of drafting specifications of ayurvedic treatments that can be reimbursed like any other mainstream one. "This can help employees get treated anywhere they like," said Ayush director G N Srikantaiah. 

It is also evolving standards for alternative medicine hospitals so that they can be covered by private insurance companies.
