ekincare, one of the leading integrated digital health benefits platform in India, has launched Cashless Scan, an innovative cashless OPD consultation service designed to eliminate upfront medical payments for employees and their families. This new service allows employees to access consultations at any clinic or doctor nationwide and make instant payments via ekincare, all without the need for reimbursement or paperwork. Cashless Scan is set to transform how corporate India approaches primary care and healthcare benefits.
In India, where outpatient care is often fragmented and over a million independent doctors
practice, employees frequently face challenges such as paying out-of-pocket for consultations,
navigating slow reimbursement processes, and dealing with limited visibility into their health
policy entitlements. As a result, even though companies invest significantly in employee health
benefits, many employees remain unaware of these benefits, leading to low utilization and
missed opportunities for both employees and employers.
Kiran Kalakuntla, Founder & CEO of ekincare, commented: “Healthcare in India has long
been about accessibility and trust, but one major challenge has always been the financial
burden. With Cashless Scan, we’re addressing that gap, giving corporate employees the
freedom to access care from their trusted doctors without the stress of payments or paperwork.
It’s about making healthcare simpler and more seamless for everyone.”
The launch of Cashless Scan is a significant step in ekincare’s broader vision to transform
workplace healthcare. ekincare is expanding its AI-powered analytics and cashless OPD
infrastructure to shift from reactive to proactive, data-driven care. Since 2014, ekincare has
reached over 1.5 million employees across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups,
with a network of 50,000+ healthcare providers in 500+ cities, ensuring accessible and scalable
care as India’s workplace health landscape evolves.
