COVID treatment charges fixed for private hospitals in Kerala: CM

Thiruvananthapuram, May 10 (UNI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday informed that the government has issued orders, capping the charges for the treatment of Covid patients who directly go to private hospitals in the State.
Addressing a press conference here this evening, the CM said: "Covid treatment is already free for the beneficiaries of Karunya Arogya Suraksha Padhati (KASP) and for those referred from government hospitals at private hospitals empanelled by the State Health Agency."
"The tariff announced today will be applicable for the Covid patients who reach the private hospitals directly. This was necessitated because of the large number of complaints of overcharging and exorbitant billing by such hospitals and the subsequent intervention by the high court. The rates were finalised after discussions with private hospitals,” he said.
