Corporate
hospitals across the country have threatened to stop cashless treatment to lakhs
of central government employees from January 1.
Protesting
against ‘unviable’ rates being given to them under the CGHS (Central Government
Health Scheme), the Association of Healthcare Providers (India) has said that
it will give three months time to the Government to revise the rates.
“After
that we will stop all cashless services at our hospitals. We will however
continue to provide services on paying cash (at the hospital rates). They can
seek reimbursement later,’’ the association leaders said.
Addressing
a press conference here on Saturday, they said that the government should come
out with a scientific method to arrive at proper packages for various
treatments.
