MEDISEP (Medical Insurance Scheme for State Employees and Pensioners)

Comprehensive health insurance for Kerala's state government employees and pensioners, launched in July 2022.

What this scheme offers

Before MEDISEP, Kerala's state employees and pensioners relied on a medical reimbursement system that involved submitting bills and waiting for repayment — workable, but slow and administratively heavy for both employees and the department. Launched on 1 July 2022, MEDISEP replaced that with genuine insurance-based cashless coverage, extending to newly recruited employees and their families, part-time staff, aided-school and college employees, and pensioners along with their spouses and family pensioners — consolidating a fragmented system into one scheme with one clear process.

Who is eligible

  • Serving Kerala state government employee (including part-time and aided-institution staff), OR
