Centre Mandates Display of Healthcare Service Rates Nationwide
The Centre has directed all states and Union territories to ensure that clinical establishments prominently display rates for services and facilities. This initiative aims to enhance transparency, reduce billing disputes, and empower patients in making informed healthcare decisions. Union health secretary Punya Salila Srivastava's communication emphasizes compliance with the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, which mandates clear visibility of pricing information. The directive also extends to medical value travel, urging facilities to display package rates for foreign patients. The government aims to strengthen trust in the healthcare system by providing upfront information on charges.
