Need for Mediclaim for senior citizens

Once in a while when we onboard a member we realize that he/ she is not covered by any mediclaim policy. The situation becomes particularly acute if the concerned individual happens to be more than 75 years of age. At that juncture, to the best of our experience, a new policy cannot be started!

Hence, it is advisable to start a mediclaim policy in one’s name well in advance. Although a hefty premium may have to be paid annually depending on the coverage yet it is worth going for the same.

With medical expenditure spiraling upwards every passing year, in the absence of a suitable coverage under mediclaim ends up burning a hole in one’s pocket. More so, as one has to meet the expenses from one’s own savings the corpus money for old age also gets depleted. This leads one to financial vulnerability in the long run if not in the immediate future.

Since such a situation too often becomes stressful for the concerned individual it results in procrastination of any medical intervention, or surgery which is perceived to be financially exorbitant. Unfortunately, such a step ultimately leads to complications resulting in fatal outcome.

Social media and customer review

Social media have now become an important engine for making, or breaking the reputation of an organization. Those entities which are out-and-out service oriented are particularly vulnerable.

We know that the range of customer expectations knows no bound. Hence, it is important to clarify what to expect and what not to. Yet it is never full-proof. Misunderstanding happens and cracks appear due to expectation reality mismatch. Often these lead to not-so pleasant outcome.

We have observed that at times if the equation between the customer and the service provider goes sour some really nasty comments can be posted about the latter by the former in social media. Unfortunately, on its basis hundreds of readers of the post form an opinion and start maligning the image of the organization further by sharing their views. Thus, in the melee we miss-out the version of story from the service provider!

If we connect the dots then it is not unusual to realize that at times such smearing campaign is resorted to with an intention to cause harm to the organization’s reputation which can at times be baseless but the readers are not aware of the same.

Hence, it is prudent not to form an opinion just because some one has posted a comment and that too a negative one. It is by far sensible to experience the quality of service provided by the said organization and draw one’s own conclusion.
