accommodation, and doctor consultations. But\u2002a large part of medical bills tends to be made up of small, high-volume items, which are known, if a bit imprecisely, as \u201cconsumables.\u201d They are disposable items used in\u2002treatment, hence the name consumables. These are generally low cost, but when used in large numbers can add up to significant expenses.<\/p>\n<p>This has particularly been seen post pandemic when the fear of contamination drove such precautionary measures. The measures have been retained both due to customers becoming more aware of the chances of infections, but equally it is being driven by hospitals, seeing consumables as a nice way to increase their revenues. As the share of consumables started rising in overall costs, the insurance industry responded by tweaking their products to offer the customers an insurance against this new category of expense.<\/p>\n<p>If\u2002you want to avoid surprise out-of-pocket costs, it is important to know what consumables are covered in your health insurance policy. And that is exactly what we will be doing in this article, so dive on ahead!<\/p>\n\n<h2>What is consumable in\u2002health insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018Medical consumable\u2019 refers to\u2002supplies or devices that are disposable and used during treatment. These range\u2002from masks, gloves and syringes to PPE kits, cotton, needles, and surgical tapes. IRDAI in 2016 had come out with a list of 199 non-admissible\u2002consumables. The reason for keeping consumables out was to keep the overall cost of treatment and claim size under control, with the objective of keeping health insurance premiums reasonable. However, the regulator, recognizing the increasing costs, also gave insurers the flexibility to incorporate or exclude some or all\u2002of them from their programs.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The increasing price\u2002of consumable items<\/h2>\n<p>Consumables used to make up around\u20023-5 percent of the medical bill, prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. After\u2002the pandemic, this percentage is much higher, with consumables making up about 10-20% of a hospital bill. The rising share of consumables in hospital bills in India can be attributed to a combination of medical, operational, and regulatory factors. Here\u2019s a detailed look at the key reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Post-COVID Hygiene and Safety Protocols<\/li>\n  <li>Shift Toward Disposable Over Reusable Medical Supplies<\/li>\n  <li>Bundled Charges in Hospital Billing<\/li>\n  <li>Increased Use of Advanced Technology<\/li>\n  <li>Lack of Standardization in Pricing<\/li>\n  <li>Insurance Exclusion of Consumables<\/li>\n  <li>Increase in Day-Care Procedures and Short Stays<\/li>\n  <li>Lack of Awareness Among Patients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Why are consumables not a standard\u2002part of coverage?<\/h2>\n<p>Typically, health insurance does not cover consumables because they\u2002are used once and then disposed of. Masking them may result in inflated hospital bills\u2002and larger claims. The types, pricing, and availability of consumables\u2002are also not consistent across hospitals.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Introducing consumables cover?<\/h2>\n<p>To\u2002ease the monetary pressure on consumables, several health insurance providers provide Consumables Cover as a rider over and above the base plan. Policyholders can\u2002come protected from the costs that are incurred for consumables if they pay an additional premium amount for it. This can provide a valuable cushion against extended hospital\u2002stays that the couple would have needed to pay for themselves.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What\u2019s\u2002included in a typical consumable cover?<\/h2>\n<p>Consumables Cover usually consists\u2002of following heads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Surgical Instruments: Gloves,\u2002Mask, Cotton, Needles, Syringes, Razors, Gowns, Surgical Tape, Slings, Braces, Splints, Collars, and so on.<\/li>\n  <li>Room charges: Room rent and charges for\u2002amenities offered in the room such as a\/c, telephone, T.V, attendant fee, IV injections, luxury tax.<\/li>\n  <li>Housekeeping Items: Everyday useful items such as toothbrushes,\u2002toothpaste, tissue paper, soaps, shampoo, slippers, sanitary pads, combs, diapers, carry bags and mineral water.<\/li>\n  <li>Administrative Services: Documentation and paperwork expenses such as birth\/death certificates,\u2002admission kits, visitors\u2019 passes, daily charts, medical history keeping up and discharge procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Benefits of Consumables Cover<\/h2>\n<ul>\n  <li>No Financial Worries: The product pays to meet all\u2002your consumable expenses, thereby ensuring that there are no overheads on your head during hospitalisation.<\/li>\n  <li>Peace\u2002of Mind By having consumables covered, patients can concentrate on recovery, not worry about the cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>How to opt for consumables\u2002cover<\/h2>\n<p>Consumables Cover is generally offered as an add-on or\u2002rider to a regular health insurance plan. The incremental premium for such a cover is quite low, generally about\u2002\u20b9500 to \u20b91,000 a year. Some insurance\u2002providers include Consumables Cover as part of their policies.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Although single-use consumables may seem like\u2002pittances, the expense can add up during a hospital stay. Adding Consumables Cover to your health insurance will\u2002give you the complete peace you need. Check your policy or have a look at adding this cover to your policy, as there are numerous hidden medical costs you may have to cover.<\/p>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e86036 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\"
