AYUSH Treatment
Definition
Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy — alternative medicine systems recognized by the Indian government. Many health insurance policies now cover AYUSH treatments in network hospitals or NABH-accredited AYUSH centres.
Why It Matters
If you rely on alternative medicine, verify whether your health insurance covers AYUSH treatments. Some policies cover them only up to a sub-limit, while others offer full coverage. This can be a key differentiator when comparing health plans.
