Empanelled Hospitals reject IMA withdrawal call
All pending dues will be cleared in a timely and systematic manner
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh –
The State Health Authority (SHA) Haryana has informed that pre-authorization claims amounting to Rs 2.5 crore were received from empanelled private hospitals across all districts of the state on August 7, 2025. In addition, several empanelled hospitals have conveyed that they are not participating in the Indian Medical Association’s (IMA) call to withdraw services under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY).
Payments up to the first week of May 2025 have been cleared. The State Health Authority (SHA) Haryana remains in regular contact with all empanelled hospitals through District Implementation Units and other channels. Empanelled Hospitals across the state have been reassured that all pending payments will be cleared at the earliest. The SHA affirms that all payments to empanelled hospitals are being processed and released in accordance with the FIFO (First-In-First-Out) methodology. All pending dues will be cleared in a timely and systematic manner.
SHA Haryana has not received any grievances related to refusal of treatment to any Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries across any grievance portals, including the CM Window and Jan Samvaad portals, social media platforms/SMGT portal, CPGRAMs and CGRMS portals managed by the Government of India or through emails or other channels.
State Health Agency maintains that there is no valid reason for the withdrawal/disruption of services as all demands/issues have been addressed effectively. Any complaints or grievances regarding denial of treatment or imposition of charges on Ayushman beneficiaries will be dealt with strictly as per the guidelines issued by the National Health Authority (NHA) and the SHA.
The authorities have also considered and addressed several genuine demands from the IMA and empanelled hospitals, including the inclusion of IMA and hospital representatives in the State Empanelment Committee, State Grievance Redressal Committee and District Grievance Redressal Committees, as well as the adoption of the latest package master.
The SHA remains committed to ensuring the smooth functioning of the scheme and safeguarding the welfare of all beneficiaries.
