WBCERC directs private hospitals not to charge for followup consultation for 15 days post primary consultation
In a major decision, the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission (WBCERC) has directed the hospitals that no extra consultation charge will be levied for the period upto 15 days from the date of primary consultation for showing test reports prescribed by the doctor in Outpatient department (OPD).
This came after the commission noted that OPD patients in Clinical Establishments previously used to get 7 (seven) days time to show the report/results of the investigations to the consultant / treating doctor, noting that this was unfair on the patients.
