"We are excited to partner with PhonePe and offer health insurance targeted at Gen Z and Millennials since people in that group are digital natives. The partnership between Star Health Insurance and PhonePe will provide consumers with a hassle-free payment option that is light on the pocket and at the same time meets their wellness needs," said Anand Roy, MD and CEO of Star Health Insurance.
Users can purchase the policy via the PhonePe app by clicking on the Health Insurance option, selecting the members to be insured, the desired sum to be insured and the payment tenure. Here, they can choose either monthly EMIs or annual payments and then select the Star Comprehensive Insurance policy. Once they opt for the policy, the customers need to fill in their details, such as name, age, and gender, followed by the health history of all members to be insured. This will be followed by the regulator mandated Know Your Customer (KYC) form and declarations, once the payment is completed.
"PhonePe is excited about this partnership with Star Health. Star’s differentiated benefits combined with PhonePe’s distribution, customer centric approach and simple DIY journeys will help turbocharge insurance adoption and penetration in the country. We are on a mission to help turn India from an underinsured nation to one that is adequately insured and view this partnership with Star as a crucial milestone in this journey," said Vishal Gupta, CEO of PhonePe.
