New Supplemental Health Insurance Contract Finalized for Iranian Retirees: Key Details on Premiums and Coverage
A new annual contract for supplemental health insurance covering retirees and pensioners of the Social Security Organization has been officially signed, outlining the financial contributions and service scope for the upcoming year.
Contract Signed, Coverage Confirmed
Hossein Ranjbaran, CEO of Atieh Sazan Hafez, announced the finalization of the new supplemental medical insurance contract between his company and the Supreme Council of Social Security Retirees. This agreement ensures continuous coverage for all eligible retirees and pensioners for a one-year period.
Breakdown of Premium Costs
The central detail of the new contract is the set annual premium of 720,000 Tomans per individual. Of this total, 470,000 Tomans will be deducted monthly from the retiree’s pension, with the remaining 250,000 Tomans covered as the share of the Social Security Organization.
Seamless Transition and Extensive Network
Ranjbaran emphasized that retirees already enrolled in the supplemental insurance program will be automatically transferred to the new plan without needing to re-register. The insurance provider boasts a wide network for service delivery, including over 40 branches, approximately 710 agencies, and 11,000 contracted medical and diagnostic centers across the country ready to serve beneficiaries and their families.
Focus on Accessibility and Ease
The CEO stated that the primary goal is to facilitate easy access to medical services at contracted centers, aiming to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for retirees. He expressed hope that increased cooperation with retiree councils would lead to greater satisfaction and peace of mind for pensioners. Furthermore, retirees who have incurred medical expenses since the start of the current Iranian month can submit their documentation to the company’s branches for processing.
Details regarding registration for new retirees seeking coverage, as well as procedures for modifications, will be announced subsequently through the relevant councils, the insurance company, and media outlets.
