According to a study by Policybazaar on reported health insurance claims, vector-borne diseases like Dengue and Malaria make up 15% of total seasonal illness claims. The treatment cost for these mosquito-borne diseases generally ranges from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,50,000. Claims for these illnesses typically spike in July and August, as the humid conditions during these months provide optimal breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
This seasonal surge highlights the increased risk of such diseases during the monsoon period and underscores the financial burden they can impose on individuals and the healthcare system. Effective preventive measures and timely treatment are crucial to managing the impact of these diseases during peak seasons..
