Ensure cashless treatment provided at empanelled hospitals under Arogyasri, Collector tells officials

‘Managements should not decline admission on the plea of non-submission of COVID positive report’

District Collector V. Vinay Chand has directed the officials to ensure that cashless treatment is provided at empanelled hospitals under the Arogyasri scheme, as per the guidelines. The Collector held a review meet on the allocation of beds under Arogyasri at private hospitals in the district on Monday. The allocation of beds under Arogyasri should be done under category A and B empanelled hospitals without fail, he said. The nodal officers for the respective hospitals and the hospital managements should keep the DRDA Project Director informed on the availability of beds from time to time. The ICU beds, ventilator beds and oxygen beds allocated under Arogyasri should be shown separately, the Collector said.
