DELHI, India - July 3, 2013 - PRLog -- E-Meditek Global (the holding company of E-Meditek TPA, a leading Third Party Administrator (TPA)), launched India’s First Healthcare Reloadable Pre-Paid Card in partnership with Ratnakar Bank and VISA today.  

Medicash Plus offers to its subscribers an Automated discount platform in healthcare services along with many additional complimentary services. Medicash Plus customers will also have access to a host of paid healthcare service platforms which were previously never accessible to retail customers.

“MEDICASH PLUS”, card co-branded by VISA for retail customers offers three kinds of services to customers:

Firstly, it provides discounts in the range of 7% to 40% at various healthcare service providers, such as private doctor’s clinics, specialists, diagnostics centers, chemists, dentists & hospitals. This has been made possible by tie-ups that Medicash has made with a network of 1700 such establishments across 23 cities in India. The Card is supported by an automated discount platform that instantly credits the committed discount to the cardholder’s account without being asked for it while using the card for payment. These network service providers offer services to MediCash Plus Card holders at specially agreed-upon prices.

The second bundle of services consists of a host of free services that MediCash customers would enjoy such as complimentary health check-ups, on-call customized dieticians, fitness services, electronic permanent health records, electronic health risk assessment, complimentary medical consultation and even a complimentary stay in a hotel for one night. These complimentary services have been meticulously handpicked to provide a world-class experience to Indian customers.

The third set of services that Medicash card will offer includes paid services, which were previously only available to corporate customers (such as paid concierge customers, on-road car assist, doctor on chat, etc.)

Further, the MediCash Plus card can be customized to the various needs of corporate engagement so that employees and customers can be provided with various medical, non-medical and concierge benefits.

Thus, apart from making quality healthcare available at an affordable price, MediCash Plus can also be seen as a contrivance that simplifies and adds convenience to life. To assist in serving the unique benefits that this product offers, the card is available in five unique variants to cater to a multitude of consumer segments; the variants being Classic, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Signature.

Having successfully launched the “MediCash” Card for the customers of L & T General Insurance (a card that offers Real Time on-the-spot Cashless Approvals before hospitalization), this Card is yet another product in association with Ratnakar Bank and VISA: “MediCash Plus”, as the card serves as ‘Your Health Savings Account”.  

The Company has created an integrated network of medical service providers that include private clinics, specialists, diagnostic centers, hospitals, chemists, gyms, spas, beauty salons, lifestyle centers and restaurants. At E-Meditek Global, we believe that while utilizing our elite network, MediCash Plus cardholders need not ask for any privileges, special prices or discounts; our unique application does it for them on its own.
