Hyderabad, Feb 20th: As the tax filing season intensifies across India, Apollo Diagnostics has announced the launch of its specialized “Tax Saver” health package. Designed to bridge the gap between financial planning and physical well-being, this initiative offers working professionals a strategic way to optimize their tax liabilities while prioritizing preventive healthcare.
The comprehensive package features 75 essential tests – covering critical areas such as diabetes, kidney function, liver health, bone strength, and hormone profiles – at significantly subsidized rate of ₹2500, reduced from the standard price of ₹4250. Beyond the immediate cost savings on diagnostics, the package is structured to allow eligible individuals to claim tax deductions of up to ₹5000 under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. By aligning healthcare spending with fiscal goals, Apollo Diagnostics aims to make routine screening a seamless part of the modern professional’s financial calendar.
“The urgency for such preventive measures is underscored by the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India, which now account for an estimated 65% of all deaths. Dr. Rajesh Bendre, National Technical Head & Chief Pathologist, Apollo Diagnostics, emphasized that proactive screening is the most effective defense against the silent progression of lifestyle disorders like heart disease and chronic kidney issues. Early detection not only improves long-term quality of life but also serves as a financial safeguard against the high costs associated with treating advanced medical complications”.
To ensure maximum accessibility for busy professionals, the Tax Saver package can be booked digitally or via walk-in appointments at any of Apollo’s 5,000+ touchpoints nationwide. The experience is further enhanced by flexible home sample collection and “Smart Reports” that provide trend analysis for easier health tracking. The brand also has its Digi-Smart Central Reference Laboratory (CRL), in Chennai, a fully automated facility designed to dramatically accelerate diagnostic timelines with error free operations to enhance patient care.
