Telangana: Hospitals threaten backout from ESIC health scheme
Advertisement
The Union Ministry of Labour has reportedly not cleared pending dues of over Rs 60 crore for the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) health scheme.
The Telangana Superspeciality Private Hospitals Association (TESHA), which has 10 top hospitals in the city under its wings, is currently dealing over the matter with the ministry. Strongly concerned over the implementation of the health scheme, TESHA has only threatened to derail the scheme if the pending dues are not cleared on a priority basis.
Apparently, a warning has been given to the concerned authorities that the hospitals revives will be stalled if there is no further intimation on the matter.
Dr Balraj Bhander, medical superintendent of the centrally-run ESIC super-speciality hospital in Sanathnagar has implied that he is hoping that the matter gets resolved soon, as there is a concern over stalling the services as the hospital has a full bed occupancy. In certain cases, they are required to refer cases to super-speciality hospitals with which ESIC has tie-ups. He further implied that that one such corporate hospital has refused admission of patients due to pending dues worth Rs 2 crore.
