I undertook Panchkarma treatment from an Ayurveda hospital. Will the cost be covered by my health insurance? Also, are there add-on covers for homeopathy?

Hope you have recovered and doing well. However, most health insurance policies do not cover alternate medication like Ayurveda or Homeopathy treatments. The plans that offer this coverage typically do that with a sub-limit within the overall sum assured. Such expenses will be covered only if they are incurred with more than 24 hours of hospitalisation.
