Access to healthcare is a growing concern in India, especially due to rising medical costs. Many patients struggle to pay for treatments, often relying on savings or borrowing money. To address this challenge, CarePay has introduced an innovative solution — an AI-based instant healthcare EMI platform that makes it easier for patients to pay for medical treatments over time, without extra cost.
What is the CarePay EMI Platform?
CarePay’s new platform allows patients to get real-time, zero-interest EMI approvals for medical treatments up to ₹10 lakh. This means patients can undergo surgeries, diagnostics, preventive healthcare, or chronic care treatments, and pay the amount in monthly installments, without paying any interest.
Here’s the best part: the interest is covered by partner hospitals, as part of their effort to attract and support more patients. So, patients only pay the principal amount, making this a cost-effective and stress-free option.
How Does It Work?
The system uses an AI-powered assistant named Careena (CARE ENgagement Assistant). Careena helps users:
- Check eligibility based on simple questions like education, marital status, and employment.
- Collect necessary data like income and estimated treatment cost.
- Approve or reject financing within minutes using AI-powered risk assessment.
This drastically reduces the loan approval time from several days to just a few minutes.
Who Will Benefit?
This solution is aimed at the millions of Indians who face financial hardship due to medical expenses. According to CarePay:
- Over 55 million people fall into poverty each year due to out-of-pocket healthcare spending.
- Only 36% of the population has proper health insurance coverage.
With this platform, more people can afford timely treatment without the burden of high upfront costs.
Safety and Accessibility
The EMI platform is mobile-first, meaning it works easily on phones and tablets. It also integrates with hospital management systems to make the entire process smooth for patients and hospital staff.
To ensure safety, the platform includes data encryption and follows regulatory privacy rules to protect users’ personal information.
Why This Matters for Healthcare Providers
For doctors, clinics, and hospitals, this is more than a tech innovation — it’s a tool to increase patient trust and improve treatment uptake. By offering zero-cost EMI options, providers can help patients who would otherwise delay or skip treatment.
