Medical Assistance Program (MAP)
The Medical Assistance Program (MAP) by KKMA is a crucial initiative designed to support underinsured patients facing severe health challenges. Recognizing the high cost of medical care, especially for chronic illnesses and critical conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and kidney failure, MAP aims to provide immediate financial assistance to those in urgent need. The program offers up to Rs. 1 lakh in financial aid per patient, covering essential medical expenses including surgeries, hospital stays, and medications.
MAP not only offers financial support but also partners with reputable hospitals to secure discounted services for its recipients. This collaboration allows the program to maximize its impact by extending the reach of its funds and ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate care. Payments are made directly to healthcare providers to ensure transparency and proper use of funds. The program also employs a shared-cost model for high-expense treatments, where MAP covers one-third of the total treatment cost, with the remaining costs shared by the patient and the hospital. Furthermore, MAP seeks partnerships with government hospitals and other healthcare entities to enhance its support network and broaden its reach. By alleviating the financial burden of medical care, MAP plays a vital role in improving the lives of individuals and families during their most challenging times.
