New national portal being launched to simplify health insurance claims

The Indian government is planning to launch a Unified portal that will process health insurance claims across hospitals all over India.
The National Health Claim Exchange (NHCX) is a one-stop-portal which is likely to be launched in the next two-three months.
This new portal will use a common data collection format and will contain all the necessary information needed by health insurance companies. It will aim to speed-up the pre-authorisation time and discharge approvals, bringing down insurance premiums.
Currently hospitals use different private portals to process insurance claims, which makes the process inconvenient for the consumers.
This NHCX portal will allow faster processing, and bring almost 50 insurance providers under the same umbrella.
This NHCX portal has been developed as part of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and designed to streamline the claim settlement process for everyone involved.

NASA Launches Small Climate Satellite to Study Earth’s Poles

NASA successfully launched the first of a pair of small climate satellites from the Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand.
The mission, dubbed PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment), aims to study heat emissions at the Earth’s poles, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these regions and global climate change.
The PREFIRE mission consists of two shoebox-sized CubeSats, each equipped with a sophisticated thermal infrared spectrometer capable of measuring the far-infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s coldest and most remote regions.
By collecting this crucial data, scientists hope to better predict the impact of climate change on sea ice loss, ice sheet melt, and sea-level rise.
The second PREFIRE CubeSat is scheduled for launch in the coming days, also aboard an Electron rocket from the same launch complex.
Once both CubeSats are operational, following a 30-day checkout period, the mission is expected to operate for 10 months, gathering invaluable data on the Earth’s energy budget – the delicate balance between incoming heat energy from the Sun and the outgoing heat given off by the planet.
