Due to heavy outstanding dues to be paid by the Centre, private hospitals might suspend cashless services under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) and Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS).
The country's healthcare industry is passing through a crisis. Non-payment of legitimate dues by the government is taking a toll on the day to day functioning of the hospitals.
The hospitals have also claimed that the reimbursement rates for various medical procedures under the CGHS have not been revised since 2014, whereas hospital expenses continue to grow to match inflation-related expenses.
