We may grumble about the state of affairs at the BC Roy Technology Hospital, but it would be relieving and useful for all of us to know that emergency services, basic medical facilities and good doctors are available within minutes from the IIT Kharagpur campus. These people charge mediocre amounts (within Rs 200/- per consultation) for their services and provide an assured and better quality of treatment than what we face at IIT Kharagpur. Moreover, the UNI-CARE insurance policy that we avail through our institute allows us to get all our medical bills reimbursed, too. So, we can actually get better medical services free of cost without having to depend on the BC Roy Technology Hospital.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The latest Reliance MediAssist Health Insurance Cards for students are available in the respective department offices. They have been lying there for almost 5-6 months and most of the students seem to not have collected them. Please do so, as this is for your own good. The MediAssist ID present on the Card is essential for settlement of any kind of insurance claims. The insurance card also comes with a booklet that contains information on how to avail the insurance facility, use it in case of emergencies and settle reimbursement claims (details available at http://wwwoklet that contains information on how to avail the insurance facility, use it in case of emergencies and settle reimbursement claims (details available at http://www.mediassistindia.com )..mediassistindia.com).

For the outgoing batch : The insurance policy is valid till September 2009, so it makes good sense to still collect them.
