Haryana private hospitals refuse treatment under Ayushman Bharat over pending dues
A week after private hospitals across Haryana suspended treatment under the Ayushmaan Bharat scheme over pending government payments, there is still no resolution, leaving around 1.5 crore beneficiaries without access to Indian Medical Association (IMA) Haryana called a halt to treatments, claiming the state government owes hospitals Rs 490 crore. Around 650 private hospitals in the state stopped accepting patients under the scheme, forcing many to delay or forego Kuldeep Mangla, who runs a private hospital in Panchkula and is part of the IMA's local chapter, said patient flow has almost stopped. "Certainly patients are getting affected and now hardly any patients turn up as they know that treatment under the scheme has been stopped. We feel their plight, but it is the government which is at fault and has not made the payments till now," he told India Today. He rejected Haryana Health Minister Aarti Rao's remarks that hospitals should not suspend treatment so early after joining the scheme."It is very difficult for hospitals to operate like this. We can't wait for ages for the payments. The government needs to understand this. Our issue is long pending, and we never planned that we would stop treatment in the initial months," Mangla Rao had earlier expressed disappointment over the hospitals' move. "It is very sad that the hospitals have stopped treatment. When these hospitals come to us and ask for empanelment, they should understand that they cannot stop treatment like this and that too in the initial months only. But we are in talks with the IMA," she aware of the suspension, are now largely avoiding private hospitals that were previously empanelled under Ayushmaan Bharat. Many are reportedly turning to government facilities, putting additional strain on Minister Nayab Saini said last week that a committee had been set up to verify the hospitals' bills, but so far, no payments have been released. The IMA maintains that the verification process cannot justify such long delays, especially when patient care is at neither side showing signs of backing down, the standoff remains unresolved. For now, the "ball is in the Haryana Government's court," as the IMA puts it, while beneficiaries of the central health scheme continue to face uncertainty over when — or if — their free treatment will resume.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Haryana
