Cashless treatment under RGHS to halt from July 15 as private hospitals protest over unpaid dues
JAIPUR: Private hospitals across Rajasthan are set to suspend cashless treatment under the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) from Tuesday, affecting lakhs of government employees, pensioners, and their families. The decision comes after months of non-payment from the state government, with dues totalling approximately Rs 980 crore. Hospital administrators claim they can no longer sustain operations without receiving pending reimbursements, despite repeated appeals and warnings to the government. On Sunday, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) convened a meeting in which representatives from private, corporate, and charitable hospitals discussed the financial crisis and challenges they face under RGHS. The Rajasthan Alliance of Hospital Associations submitted a memorandum to the state government proposing urgent reforms to save the scheme. These included immediate payment of dues, a 45-day fixed payment cycle, simpler documentation, reactivation of the TMS portal, formal recognition of an advisory committee, and long-term structural improvements. Dr. Vijay Kapoor, president of the Private Hospitals Association, said nearly 1,000 private hospitals have not been paid under the scheme for over seven months. He stated that while the hospitals never intended to enter into conflict with the government, the lack of dialogue and delay in payments have left them with no choice but to halt cashless services starting Tuesday. The RGHS was originally launched in June 2018 during the Vasundhara Raje government and was revived in 2021 by the Ashok Gehlot-led administration.

Pvt hosps to stop cashless RGHS services from July 15 over unpaid dues
Jaipur: Private hospitals across Rajasthan have announced to suspend cashless treatment under the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) from July 15, alleging non-payment of dues amounting to Rs 980 crore pending for over seven months. The move comes after repeated appeals to the state govt failed to yield any resolution. Dr Vijay Kapoor, president of Private Hospitals Association, said, "No payments have been released since last 5-6 months. Many hospitals have been de-empanelled, and defaulter hospitals penalised heavily based on AI-generated data, yet legitimate dues remain unpaid. Bills of 701 private hospitals worth Rs 980 crore are pending for over seven months. Now, the private hospitals have decided to stop the cashless treatment from July 15. The situation has become unsustainable." The association has proposed that RGHS be shifted from the current cashless model to a reimbursement-based system, especially for OPD services and medicines. Under this model, patients would initially bear treatment costs and later claim reimbursement by submitting valid documentation. The hospitals stressed that this system should be open to all registered doctors under the Rajasthan Medical Council (RMC) or equivalent bodies. To prevent hardship for patients, the association has urged the govt to ensure timely, transparent reimbursement within a fixed timeframe. They also demanded that cashless treatment be retained only for select tertiary care procedures with high costs to prevent misuse and focus resources effectively. Further, the association recommended automatic empanelment of all hospitals registered under the Clinical Establishments Act (CEA) for IPD services under RGHS, eliminating non-transparent empanelment practices. They also called for allowing beneficiaries to buy medicines from any licensed pharmacy, promoting accessibility and curbing monopolies.
