Healthcare providers have urged the Government to make a budgetary allocation to settle payments due to them for services provided through the Government schemes.
“It is painful that reimbursements for completed treatments under these schemes are not made on time, and in most cases, remain unpaid even for 2-3 years (in some cases even up to 6 years), causing severe stress on working capital and cash flows for private healthcare providers,” said Nathealth, a federation of private healthcare service providers, in their submission to the Government ahead of the Union Budget 2023.
