Paytm has launched ‘Paytm Health Saathi,’ a health and income protection plan for its merchant partners, available on the ‘Paytm for Business’ app, a statement from Paytm notified.
According to the statement, ‘Paytm Health Saathi’ aims to safeguard the well-being of its merchants, ensuring their health and business continuity.
Starting at just Rs 35 per month on a monthly subscription, ‘Paytm Health Saathi’ offers a range of services that includes unlimited doctor teleconsultation and in-person doctor visits (OPD) within its partner network. It also includes income protection cover in the event of business interruptions due to accidents, natural calamities such as floods and fires, or strikes.
The doctor teleconsultation service is powered by MediBuddy, providing additional benefits including discounts at leading pharmacies, and on diagnostic tests. The claim process is streamlined and can be completed with just a few clicks, within the app, ensuring that its merchant partners can focus on their business without any worry.
“The launch of ‘Paytm Health Saathi’ underscores our steadfast commitment to ensure the welfare of our merchant partners. This initiative is part of our mission to equip them with comprehensive and affordable coverage that supports their continued operations. By offering tailored solutions, aligned to their needs, we aim to strengthen the robust support system we provide to our community of business owners,” the company said.
The pilot for ‘Paytm Health Saathi’ started in May and has already seen more than 3,000 merchant partners avail the plan. Following its initial success, the company rolled out this feature to all its merchants earlier this month.
