52 hospitals were fined 1.25 Cr. for overloading

Collector Vivek Yadav whipped the hospitals found to be fleeing patients and fined 52 hospitals in the district 1.25 billion yen.

Based on reports from joint teams inspecting the hospitals, the Collector fined 5 lakhs on 12 hospitals, 2 lakhs on 25 hospitals, and 1 lakhs on 15 hospitals.

They were asked to release the fine immediately and warned against charging more than the fees prescribed in GO numbers 77 and 78.

“Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had repeatedly said that the increased tariffs are more than what the insurance companies are offering and the state government is spending crores on reimbursing Aarogyasri claims. We urge all hospital management to ensure that patients are not overcharged and to allocate 50% of the beds to Aarogyasri patients, ” said Mr Vivek Yadav.
