In 2011, the scheme was launched to provide Rs.60,000 insurance cover for a family of five every year with a nominal registration amount.

The universal health insurance scheme was launched by the erstwhile Congress-led coalition government in Goa in 2011, that provided a cover of Rs.60,000 for a family of five every year in return for an extremely minimal registration amount.
However, allegations of corruption leveled against the health minister Vishwajeet Rane by the opposition for under-valuing the insurance cover, selectively choosing hospitals as partners and inability of the insurers to get through to the masses to register had resulted in the scheme failing to take off.
