All insurance companies must provide the possibility to pay the cost of treatment online in the drug department in all non-party pharmacies from today, February 20st, and after the prescription is filled, the additional insurance money will be deposited into the insured person’s account within 72 hours
According to Iran digital economy annotation, until now, it was not possible to pay the supplementary insurance fee online, and although the government had repeatedly required insurance companies to provide this service, the insurance companies had not provided the insurer with the possibility to pay the supplementary insurance fee online.
Now, the deputy official of Central Insurance has announced in an interview with reporters: We make this promise to the insured that the information that is entered with the additional tag in the central insurance hub, money will be deposited into the insured’s account within 72 hours.
Majid Mashalachi Firouzabadi said: According to this, supplementary insurances should specify the supplementary insurance contribution within a short period of time after the patient visits the pharmacy. But if the SMS does not come, it means that we have not received your information and they should proceed to receive the insurance fee through the same paper route and face-to-face visit.
He added: If the amount deducted by the pharmacy is inconsistent with the supplementary insurance contribution, the insured can continue the follow-up process by uploading the information. The information about those documents should be uploaded in the way mentioned in the SMS.
According to central insurance officials, if the pharmacy is a party to the contract with basic and supplementary insurances, there is no need for the insured to pay. As announced by the Central Insurance Company, in the next step, the path of eliminating paper in outpatient and inpatient treatments is going to be implemented.
If supplementary insurance is included in the online payment process, we can hope that a part of the country’s health ecosystem will follow the path of electronicization. Previously, social security insurance and health insurance had made it possible to remove insurance booklets in their infrastructure, and with the implementation of the electronic version in the country, there was no longer a need to issue insurance booklets, now supplementary insurance has also entered this process.
