LGBTQ+ partners under their group health insurance plans. Organizations opting for a group health insurance cover for their teams can now include same-sex partners in their health plan, said the firm.
Group health insurance traditionally only included married partners of individuals as part of covering family members. As same-sex marriages are not legally permissible in India, it is not possible for same-sex partners to get covered under a group health insurance policy.
HealthySure in collaboration with insurance partners is now offering coverage for these partners under a group health insurance plan.
Sanil Basutkar, co-founder said, “We have been working hard to enable this coverage for a long time. We understand the importance of identifying healthcare coverage patterns for the LGBTQ+ population.
