Medical Reimbursement valid for treatment at unapproved hospitals in emergency, says HC
Granting full medical reimbursement to a patient, who underwent liver transplant surgery, the Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that in life-or-death emergencies, it does not matter for medical reimbursement purposes whether a hospital is approved or not.
With this observation, the HC bench comprising Justice Jasgurpreet Singh held that the petitioner was entitled to the "balance amount of 10 lakh". The High Court was considering the question of whether the petitioner, who underwent liver transplant surgery at a Chennai-based hospital in an emergency condition, was entitled to full medical reimbursement even though the healthcare institute was "unapproved".
