Medi Assist Healthcare Services has integrated the Unique Identification Authority of India’s (UIDAI) Aadhaar Offline Verification Framework into its health benefits platforms. Announced on July 16, 2026, this follows the company’s registration as an Offline Verification Seeking Entity (OVSE). The integration enables secure, consent-based identity verification across key healthcare journeys, aiming to reduce paperwork and lower the risk of identity misuse and fraud.

The capability allows members to verify their identity quickly by sharing only necessary information for a specific transaction. By minimizing reliance on physical documents, the process safeguards privacy and enhances reliability. Location data captured during verification further confirms the authenticity of healthcare interactions, ensuring benefits are accessed only by rightful beneficiaries.

For insurers and employers, the integration strengthens identity assurance, reduces manual documentation, and supports faster claims processing. The feature will be available to Third-Party Administrators (TPAs), insurers, and pension funds utilizing Medi Assist's technology platforms.

Satish Gidugu, Chief Executive Officer, Medi Assist Group, stated that the integration strengthens trust by enabling consent-based verification across healthcare journeys. He emphasized that this helps members protect their benefits, assists hospitals with faster verification, and provides insurers with greater confidence in interactions.

The system is being deployed across multiple healthcare touchpoints. For cashless hospital admissions, members can complete verification at helpdesks without submitting physical documents. Additionally, Aadhaar Offline Identity Verification will soon be available via the MAven app for reimbursement claims, helping to reduce documentation-related delays.
