Every state government started acting strictly on the hospitals that are levying heavy bills on patients undergoing COVID treatment. In Maharashtra, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation has directed a hospital in the city to refund a total sum of 10 lakh rupees to 92 patients for overcharging them with different amounts. The decision taken by the Municipal officials is now winning hearts.
A press note from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation has confirmed the same.
“Radiance Hospital had reportedly charged different amounts for the same test from 92 patients admitted in its Covid ward. We served a notice to the hospital on May 20th, seeking an explanation but the hospital stayed silent. We then constituted a committee to cross-check the allegations. The committee has given a report after which I have directed the hospital to refund Rs 10,32,243 to the patients concerned or their relatives within seven days of the receipt of the NMC order,” NMC Additional Commissioner Jalaj Sharma stated in the press note.
Apart from this, the officials will also be initiating an action against the hospital under sections of the Epidemic and Disaster Management Acts and Maharashtra Essential Services Amendment Act.
