449 Hospitals in 4 Cities to Provide Cashless Facility To The Insured


Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena in reply to a question in Lok Sabha today said: "In an effort to rationalize the health insurance portfolio and provide health care at an affordable cost and at the same time help the insurer to control ever increasing cost of health care, the Public Sector General Insurance Companies have initiated the process to create a Preferred Provider Network (PPN) of hospitals in four cities i.e. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore," he said.

At present the PPN includes a network of 449 hospitals (Delhi-163, Mumbai-121, Chennai-84 and Bangalore-81) and more number of hospitals are joining the network, he informed.

These hospitals provide cashless facility to the insured and package rates for 41 common surgical procedures have been fixed. These package rates would stabilize the hospitalization cost and would benefit the insured by lowering the cost of every hospitalization leaving a larger balance in the sum insured for future hospitalization.
