Haryana Private Hospitals Suspend Ayushman Bharat Services Over Delayed Payments
Private hospitals in Haryana, led by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), suspended Ayushman Bharat services for 24 hours on September 1 due to delayed payments totaling around Rs 1,000-1,200 crore. The IMA demands timely reimbursement, a transparent claim process, and inclusion in grievance committees. Hospitals warn that prolonged delays have caused financial strain, with some closures reported, and threaten indefinite suspension from September 16 if dues remain unpaid. Emergency services will continue during the protest.
