Apollo DKV, India’s premier health insurance company, has entered into a tie-up with the Meghalaya Government to implement the Centrally-sponsored Rashtriya Swasthiya Bima Yojna (RSBY), a health insurance scheme meant for Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.

BPL families can avail health insurance benefits worth Rs 30,000 per annum where the Centre will bear 90 percent cost of the premium while the other 10 percent will be borne by the state government. The families need to pay Rs. 30 as their share of premium for registration, to avail the benefits under the scheme.
