Keep your IDA HOPE cover active
IDA HOPE brings together benevolent assistance, HOPE MEDI health cover and HOPE ASSURE professional indemnity. Each has a short yearly renewal window — miss it and your cover lapses.
- HOPE MEDI renewal 20 Sep – 1 Oct
- HOPE ASSURE renewal 10 Jul – 15 Jul
How it works
- Download the renewal form for your scheme
- Submit it through your local branch or the HOPE portal
- Keep the acknowledgement for your records
Get your clinic's paperwork in order
Opening or renewing a clinic touches four regulators: the Pollution Control Board, biomedical waste rules, AERB for X-ray units and the Kerala Clinical Establishments Act. Start here.
How it works
- Register X-ray units with AERB first — it takes the longest
- Set up biomedical waste segregation and a handover agreement
- Apply for PCB consent and Clinical Establishments registration
Consent, records and medicolegal support
Good consent and good records prevent most disputes. If a complaint does arrive, IDA HOPE medicolegal support is there for enrolled members.
How it works
- Use a written, bilingual consent form for every invasive procedure
- Keep treatment notes, radiographs and payment records together
- If a complaint arrives, follow the first-steps guide and contact the office
Earn and track your KDC credit points
State and branch CDE programmes carry Kerala Dental Council credit hours needed for licence renewal. Find a programme, attend, and your credits are recorded.
How it works
- Pick an accredited programme from the events calendar
- Register and attend the full session
- Check that your credit hours are recorded
