OCARE, India's first independent Insurance Process as a Service (IPAAS) platform, launched its dental insurance product on Thursday in India. A group insurance product, it offers a sum assured of Rs 25,000.

Neeraj Sheth, Founder & CEO, OCARE said that this is the first time dental insurance is being offered as an exclusive product in India. 

He added that usually dental insurance is clubbed with health insurance and is available under the general health insurance plan, where dental ailments are not covered exclusively. Under the general plan, costs of hospitalisation and medicines are covered only in the case of dental emergencies.
