Home and hotel treatment also covered by medical insurance 4 major life insurance companies New Corona April 7 16:08
A major life insurance company has decided to pay medical insurance claims, assuming that people infected with the new coronavirus cannot be admitted to a medical institution and are treated at home or in a hotel and are hospitalized.
Over the spread of the new coronavirus infection, medical institutions in urban areas such as Tokyo are facing a surge in the number of infected people, and the number of beds that can be accepted has become tight. Tokyo has decided to move some mildly ill patients to hotels.
Under these circumstances, Nippon Life, Dai-ichi Life, Meiji Yasuda Life, and Sumitomo Life have decided to review the terms and conditions of medical insurance in which insurance is paid according to the number of days hospitalized.
Specifically, even if you cannot get hospitalized because the bed of the medical institution is full or you are discharged from hospital early and have been treated at home or in a hotel, there are documents that prove that you are treated for the new coronavirus. For example, insurance is paid according to the number of days, considering the period of home and hotel as hospitalization.
It is unusual for a major life insurance company to take all of this action.
