ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE
(DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

(a) to (d):Under the Central Government Health Scheme(CGHS), empaneled Health Care Organizations (HCOs) are required to provide cashless facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries. However, there have been reports that some hospitals are not providing cashless facilities. Suitable action is taken against them whenever such cases come to notice. AMRI Hospital, Bhubneshwar, M/s Charnock Hospitals Pvt. Ltd., Kolkata, Rabindranth Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Kolkata and Utkal Hospital, Bhubaneshwar, Fortis Healthcare Limited, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi and Amar Eye Centre, Naveen Shahdara Delhi have submitted notice to opt out of CGHS.

Under CGHS, during the current Financial Year, HCOs’ bills worth Rs. 1200 crore (approx.) have been paid and bills amounting to Rs. 1100 crore (approx.) are received for payment.

Regarding Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), as per the information provided by the Ministry of Defence, 174 Health Care Organizations (HCOs) have stopped giving cashless services to ECHS beneficiaries.

Under CGHS, following steps have been taken to ensure uninterrupted cashless services to the beneficiaries:-

  • (i) Adequate funds are provided to CGHS under the relevant Head of Account for clearance of hospital bills.
  • (ii) Hospital Bills are regularly processed for settlement and an amount of Rs. 1200 crore (approx.) has already been paid to private hospitals during current Financial Year 2021-22.
  • (iii) Additional manpower has been mobilised to expedite settlement of hospital claims.
  • (iv) In June 2021, CGHS has shifted to settlement of bills in paperless mode on the IT Platform of National Health Authority which is an attached Office of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

As informed by Ministry of Defence, following steps have been taken for timely payment of bills to the hospitals empanelled under ECHS: –

  • (i) Provision of adequate budgetary support has been made.
  • (ii) Usages of IT solution for continuous monitoring for efficient processing of bills and timely payment.
  • (iii) Empanelment of additional HCOs as an alternative to those who have refused services.

    The reply by Hon. Minister is not satisfactory as few hospitals are directed to re- extend the caseless facilities under CGHS, but my personal experience as a pensioner and being eligible for cashless facility is quite different for Ahmedabad city in Gujarat.
    I was denied cashless facilities at more than one hospitals and at some hospitals I was told that though their name appeared in empanalled hospital they had stopped the facilities shown against their name.
    The facts of reducing list of empanalled hospitals, laboratories come out by comparing the lists of last three years.
