The Journey of Sickness: A Painful Reality for Many​

  • Day 0: Illness begins.
  • Day 1: Self-medication; doctor's visit delayed.
  • Day 3: Doctor's visit results in prescription and lab tests; lab tests delayed.
  • Day 4: Health worsens.
  • Day 5: Doctor revisited; lab tests conducted.
  • Day 6: Diagnosis: Dengue.
  • Day 7: Treatment starts, but already delayed.
  • Day 8: Critical condition; hospitalization needed.
  • Day 9: Hospitalization occurs.
  • Day 11: Discharged, paying out of pocket.

​

The Core Issue: A Crisis of Trust and Misaligned Incentives​

Player

Incentive

Patient

To regain health swiftly and affordably

Healthcare Provider

Revenue driven by tests, treatments, and prolonged care

Insurance Company

Minimize claim payouts to maximize profits

Result

Misaligned Incentives -> Poor Health Outcome, Low Trust​

Imagine a health subscription model where the service's profitability is directly tied to your health.

You pay the plan premium and when you're unwell, the plan pays for all of it, aligning its success with your recovery.

That's managed care and Clinikk for you!

  • When it come to Clinikk Health Plan (OPD + IPD), young people don't value it much as they are usually healthy, spend and focus on health is less. So, adoption is low.
  • Clinikk Health Plan has an option to downgrade to just Insurance + Tele-consultation (Remote Plan), so that if you move away from Clinikk Centres, you don't pay extra for the OPD.
  • Distribution of OPD + Insurance >> Distribution of Insurance + Tele-consultation because OPD + Insurance is unique, value prop is stronger compared to traditional insurances that comes without OPD.
  • Locations for Clinikk Health Hubs have been chosen is a way that most of them have a sizeable local population around it.

Other Learnings

  • Health insurance is something that people want, but no one needs it.
  • It's not a tangible product that you start using right after purchase; it's just a promise. So, people don't value it much unless they themselves get hospitalized or see someone in their circle lose their wealth due to a hospitalization.
  • Everyone knows what insurance is, at least the basics, but when it comes to making a purchase, there's always some other product or service that takes priority, and people often don't have the money to buy it.
  • In India, many of us believe that God will take care of things, so why bother with insurance.
