VHA had conveyed its readiness to do so in larger interest of society and mediate in this matter. All concur that till amicable resolution is found, both parties should have agreed to continue services in old agreed rates. Prakash Shende-Working President of Vidarbha Private Hospitals Employees Union has stated that if hospitals agree for such low rates, they will be forced to either reduce remuneration or retrench personnel which will be detrimental to their members.Ĭitizens were eagerly waiting for an agreeable resolution to this ongoing struggle. He has advised all the beneficiaries of these cartel to get themselves ported to other insurance providers. Moreover, when health insurance premiums are increasing day by day, why fair rates are not being offered to hospitals based on certain valuation criteria? he queried. If package rates are levied, they will be unaware and hospitals because of such low rates will use substandard drugs, he alleged. Hospitals till date were issuing prescriptions to patients and they used to get the medicines on cashless basis from hospital pharmacy so the relatives were aware of what was being procured and given.
