People with health insurance can now get vouchers to buy yoga centers, gymnasium memberships and protein supplements soon. Recently, IRDA issued new guidelines for promoting good health among the people.

In the 'Exposure Draft on Guidelines on Wellness and Preventive Features / Benefits', Irda has stated that the insurance company can also provide services to the policyholder like pharma, health check app and diagnostics.

Irda has stated that insurers should also spread awareness about good health among health insurance policy holders. According to Yarda, spreading awareness can be done by providing a health voucher check app, diagnosis, vouchers of protein supplements.

Irda has stated that insurers can spread awareness about health care by giving points in addition to vouchers. In addition, it can encourage insurers by offering discounts. However, IRDA has stated in the end that there should be no discrimination against the insured who does not take this option and there should be no increase in his premium.
