Ayushman Mitras are only available in hospitals from 10 to 5, leaving the hospitals helpless for providing any treatment in their absense.
Raipur: In an act of defiance, 500 Private hospitals in Chattisgarh have refused to offer treatment under ‘Ayushman Bharat Scheme’ of the central government citing various reasons including implementation hassles, poor payment as well as pending payments under the previous scheme.
Prior to Ayushman Bharat Scheme, these 500 private hospitals were empaneled under various National Health Insurance schemes (NHIS) and state’s scheme. A good number of patients had been treated under these schemes.
President, Hospital Board of IMA Chattisgarh, Dr Rakesh Gupta informed Tribune that until the government takes initiative for getting cleared all pending payments of treatment done under National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), the private hospitals will not treat patients under Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
