MetLife Bangladesh has introduced a new cashless outpatient service for organizations providing life and health insurance to their employees through MetLife. This service allows employees to access outpatient hospital services without the need for upfront payments at hospital counters.
Outpatient services covered under this initiative include outdoor consultations, prescribed medications, and medical investigations that do not require an overnight hospital stay.
This new service complements the existing cashless hospital admission facility and is set to benefit over 300,000 employees from more than 900 organizations enrolled in MetLife’s employee insurance plans. Additionally, the dependents of these employees are also eligible for these services.
