What Does MEDISEP Stand For?

MEDISEP is the acronym for Medical Insurance for State Employees and Pensioners. The scheme was enforced in the state of Kerala on January 1, 2022, and has been serving its beneficiaries since. All state workers, including those who have retired from government service, are encouraged to participate in the mediclaim program. Those individuals who are not enlisted in the policy or have not provided details of their respective beneficiaries (family members) are also allowed under the scheme to make appropriate amendments. This is done to ensure that every person in the state is covered under the MEDISEP health insurance scheme.

How Does MEDISEP Work?

The MEDISEP health insurance scheme provides cashless medical treatment to all state employees and pensioners. A monthly amount of Rs. 500 is deducted from the beneficiaries’ income towards the payment of the annual insurance premium of Rs. 6,000 for the policy.

MEDISEP is a comprehensive health insurance scheme for all employees serving the Kerala state government. These include employees serving the High Court of Kerala as well as pensioners of the state government. The families of all these beneficiaries, which includes their spouses and kids less than 25 years old, are also eligible to receive benefits under the scheme. Any family member who is physically or mentally disabled is also allowed benefits under the program.

The insurance term under the MEDISEP Kerala policy is for a total duration of 3 years.
