IMA KSHS - Foot Prints :

How did this idea of Health Scheme took shape?

  • In IMA Gangavathi , once Dr.Chiniwalar V V, Vice-President IMA KSB (2014-15) was explaining regarding IMA’s Professional Protection Scheme(KPPS) and Social Security Scheme (KSSS) to its members. At that time one of the senior members Dr.M I Mudagal pointed that with KPPS IMA would help to resolve the issue of payment when a member faces any case of medical negligence and with KSSS, IMA would help the bereaved family when a member passes away, and questioned about availability of any scheme which helps the member during his LIFE TIME. There was no answer to this question at that time.
  • Dr.Chiniwalar discussed this matter with Dr.Madhusudhan Kariganur of Sirguppa. He suggested regarding HEALTH SCHEME of IMA-Kerala started 10 years back.

Who took initiation ?

  • Dr.Chiniwalar V.V. discussed the matter with the past President of IMA-KSB Dr.Yogananada Reddy, the then President of IMA-KSB Dr.Honnegouda and Dr.Madhusudhan K. Editor IMA-Focus. All of them supported and suggested to go ahead as it was a scheme and to study in detail with IMA-Kerala’s Health Scheme members.
  • Dr.Chiniwalar V V took initiation, searched in internet and contacted the concerned authorities of IMA Kerala Health Scheme. This was brought to the notice of the IMA KSB & presented at the SWC meeting at Biligiriranganabetta, Chamarajnagar under the presidentship of Dr.Honnegouda and distributed the printouts of IMA Kerala Health Scheme. Dr.Honnegouda and his team appreciated and authorized Dr.Chiniwalar to go ahead with a team to Kerala to get the detailed picture of the scheme.
  • Subsequently Dr.G N Prabhakar President IMA KSB(2015-16) asked Dr.Chiniwalar to go to Kerala & submit a report.
  • On 2nd July 2016, Dr.Chiniwalar along with Dr.Yogananda Reddy Y.C., Dr.Honnegouda and Dr.H K Nagesh went to Thiruvantapuram and discussed with Dr. Pradeep Kumar Secretary, Kerala Health scheme and his colleagues about the implementation, reimbursement, claims scrutiny and management.
