Central Governent is in
the Process of revising the CGHS Rates:-
In a good news for lakhs of beneficiaries under the
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), the Government is in the process of
revising the rates of medical procedures offered by empanelled hospitals and
diagnostic centres and giving them early payment assurance to encourage more
medical institutions join the scheme. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
has floated e-tenders for empanelment of hospitals and decided that the rates
of various medical procedures would be fixed by an average of rates quoted in
e-tenders instead of the old system where the lowest quotation became the rate.
Rates of all medical procedure centres under CGHS would be revised by April
next year.
Not just that, the Government is also revising its policy
by providing empanelled hospitals assured upfront payment of 70 per cent of the
total bill within five days of its presentation and balance admissible amount
within a maximum period of 30 days. The direction for a 10 per cent
deduction in case of early/cash payment to hospitals under CGHS has also been
done away with, highly-placed sources in the Ministry told PTI.Source: http://www.business-standard.com
