Rims doubles cottage charges, hikes paying ward fee for patients to earn more revenue
1 2 3 Ranchi: Patients seeking admission at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (Rims) will now have to pay more to access cottage and paying ward facilities. The hospital administration has revised its fee structure, doubling the daily charge for cottages from Rs 250 to Rs 500, while the rent for the paying ward increased from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per day. The hike, which came into effect a few days ago, has drawn mixed reactions from the public and patient families. The Rims management on Friday justified the revision stating that the previous rates remained unchanged for many years. "The move will help the hospital to earn more money, which can then be pumped into infrastructure and development," an official said. The paying ward is in relatively better condition, with functional infrastructure and cleanliness maintained to some extent. There are 16 cottages in total at Rims. Currently, seven rooms on the first floor are being used as emergency wards, while the ground floor cottages are being allotted as paid accommodation. Seven beds are equipped with oxygen supplies. The paying ward has a capacity of 100 beds. To ease pressure on overcrowded emergency and critical care units, Rims has shifted stable, recovering patients to underutilised cottage and paying wards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The move aims to free up emergency beds for critically ill patients. Patients transferred to the cottage and paying wards under this system are not being charged for their stay. Only patients who voluntarily opted for treatment in the cottage or paying wards are required to pay the respective charges of Rs 500 and Rs 1,500 per day. Those shifted as part of the hospital's internal allocation are exempt from any fees. Emergency and critical care wards together have around 130 beds. Rims public relations officer Dr Rajeev Ranjan said, "The shift was intended to streamline patient management and reduce wait times in emergency situations. By separating recovery-phase patients, the hospital aimed to enhance the overall quality of care." Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !

"Approximately, Rs 192 crore in payments have been pending since February 11 this year, which will be resolved soon. Over the past seven years, a total of Rs 2,284 crore has been paid out. Payments of Rs 485 crore for 7.3 lakh govt hospital patients and over Rs 2,000 crore for 14 lakh private hospital patients have been made till date," the minister said. Ansari said the delays were due to ongoing probe against 212 hospitals identified by the National Anti-Fraud Unit. Technical glitches in the new portal system have also caused delays in payments to another 350 hospitals, Ansari said, adding that it is being resolved.
