Insurers Pay $104m in Medical Claims

Insurance companies paid 26 trillion rials ($104 million) to hospitals and medical centers mostly to compensate medical bills related to Covid-19, head of the Central Insurance company of Iran said. 
“We required insurance companies to broaden the scope of medical insurance to cover expenses related to coronavirus,” Gholamreza Soleimani was quoted as saying by ILNA. 
“All the medicine listed by the Health Ministry are included in the coverage,” Soleimani said. “Covid test costs are also to be covered by insurers if prescribed by physicians.”
