BHOPAL: Ayushman Bharat has issued a show-cause notice to Chirayu Hospital over a video circulated on Sunday on social media showing that Chirayu Hospital had denied treatment to a Covid patient who is an Ayush card-holder.
Chirayu Hospital has been reminded of the terms and conditions of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Ayushman Bharat and Chirayu for treatment of beneficiaries under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. It has also been reminded that no extra money can be charged from patients as it is cashless treatment for the card-holders.
According to the notice, in case for undergoing treatment of a patient who has not been identified as a beneficiary of the scheme at any point of time before discharge, he is validated as a beneficiary and the procedure performed falls under select packages under the scheme. In such cases, the patient should not be charged by the empanelled healthcare provider (EHCP) and all expenses borne shall be reimbursed according to the Ayushman Bharat-Madhya Pradesh (AB-MP) guidelines.
