Medical Insurance in Day Care Surgery:
Insurance policies have now taken up the change and included Day Surgery as reimbursable, doing away with '24 hrs' admission. It has taken more than 4 years to make this change. Correspondence is in progress to instruct the insurance agents in the changes, so that disbursal of claims can be done easily. We have positive support of the TPA Association. CLICK HERE
This is our contribution to the Nation. The phrase: 'Surgeries performed due to Advancement in Technology and Better Anaesthetic Drugs, at a specialized Day Surgery Center, do not require 24 hrs admission.' Has been extensively used in different forms, by all the Insurance companies in India.

How did we start?
A group of eminent and like minded surgeons from across the specialty, agreeing to work under one banner and popularize a concept, which will benefit the patient population in India, was the aim of this association. The other spectrum of patient population aimed to benefit from this concept are the ones who do not have much time to spend in the hospital and too much depends on them to even think of being away from work even for a few hours.
Thus, emerged 'The Indian Association of Day Care Surgery', as it was known earlier, changed to 'The Indian Association of Day Surgery'. It has grown from strength to strength, crossing the 100 member mark in the first year, we hosted the First National conference: 'ADSCON 2005' at INHS Aswini, Naval Hospital, Mumbai. Since then, there was no looking back.
'Dr. Naresh Row, came up with the idea of founding the Indian Association of Day Surgery, this is his brain child. He is dedicating whole hearted for this cause and has taken it as mission to propagate it across the country so that the common man in near future can get the benefit of this health care system.'
- Dr. M. M. Begani, Founder President.
Future plans:
We need to push for recognition of a Day Surgery Centre as a category for registration with the local Municipal corporations. Working with NGO,s or hospitals in setting up Protocols, standards and parameters for Day Surgery, for the betterment of our patient population.
Day Surgery should be made a part of of our UG and PG teaching.
An appeal to all, please send in your suggestions. Come forward and make this Association move forward.
A balance between the economics and top quality, safe medical care, is what every individual strives for.
