As we all know, there are a number of Hospitals and Clinics approved under the CHSS. When any of us are referred to a Hospital (by the respective AMO), they are expected to treat us and charge the Dept of the services they do, based on the approved rates. The applicable rates have been revised recently (about an year ago), and those are (supposed to be) applicable now.
Unfortunately, these Hospitals are not offering their services at the contractual terms. They are demanding excess money, direct from the patient (CHSS beneficiary). They demand that the excess money they asked for, be paid in advance, and without a cash receipt.
When I had to go for a surgical treatment, I approached two of the Hospitals. Both of them demanded extra money (payable in advance and in lumpsum). They said that the approved rates are not valid and they are at a loss. Therefore, I have to pay the excess money (over what the Dept will pay them) in advance. Finally I had to pay the extra money they had asked for !
This is a serious problem. It's a case of breach of contract by the Hospitals. I wish, the Dept take up the issue and sort out immediately. Is it not unfair and injustice to extract such excess money from the retired persons ? It's injustice. Let's appeal and pray; Let justice prevail here.
