Findings from Amity University in Health Insurance Reported (Examining the influence of health insurance literacy and perception on the people preference to purchase private voluntary health insurance)

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- Data detailed on Health Insurance have been presented. According to news reporting from Uttar Pradesh, India, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Most studies have associated 'un-affordability' as a plausible cause for the lower take-up of private voluntary health insurance plans. However, others refuted this claim on the pretext that when people can afford 'inpatient-care' from pocket then insurance premium cost is far less than those payments."

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Amity University, "Thus, economic factors remain insufficient in clearly explaining the reason for poor private voluntary health insurance take-up. An attempt is being made by shifting the focus towards non-economic factors and understanding the role of perception and health insurance literacy in transforming people preferences to invest in private voluntary health insurance plans."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The study findings will conspicuously support decision-makers in developing strategy to increase the private voluntary health insurance take-up."
