Mumbai:
ICICI Lombard General Insurance, the country’s second largest general insurance company, is collaborating with Clove Dental, India’s largest network of oral clinics to offer dental insurance.
The offering will be covered under the OPD benefit and will be available on a cashless basis to customers. This partnership is well poised to provide oral health support to Clove Dental’s consumers that will encompass all necessary dental treatment expenses under the OPD benefit of ICICI Lombard.
Sanjay Datta, Chief- Underwriting, Claims and Reinsurance, ICICI Lombard said, “There has been a substantive gap in providing the consumers with the right oral and dental healthcare. With this partnership, we take one step closer to bridging this gap and bringing about a change in which preventive dental care is perceived in India. Our endeavour is to offer an affordable, easily accessible and hassle-free dental insurance solution to our customers, which helps them overcome the rising dental healthcare costs and addresses their need for preventive oral healthcare.”
Lt. Gen. Dr. Vimal Arora, Chief Clinical Officer, Clove’s Dentals said, “that the provision of cashless dental care to the masses will usher in a new era of preventive dental care which India was lacking and will go a long way towards achieving the aim of overall health for all.
Typically less then 7% of Indian population seek dental care from recognized care providers and it has been proven beyond doubt that oral health has a direct linkage to the cardiac, endocrinal, neurogenic and osteoarthritic disorders.
Further it also affects the pregnancy adversely and has an important bearing amongst lactating mothers.
“Our rapidly expanding team of 750+ highly trained dentists in 342 state-of-the-art clinics across 24 cities provides easy access to ICICI customers with efficient and timely dental care. Our AI-enabled technologies and Dental Quality Management protocols ensure that each patient gets the right treatment, from the right specialists, at the right time, at the right cost, in the most painless manner,” said Lt Gen Arora.
The super speciality team at Clove Dental also undertakes complex surgeries, implant rehabilitation, cosmetic treatments as well as recent advances in aligners and single day implants.”
With this strategic tie-up, ICICI Lombard and Clove Dental are well-positioned to educate a large section of the Indian population about preventive oral health and provide quality treatment on a cashless basis which will help improve the oral health conditions of a large section of the society.
