## 1072.  SHRI KUMBAKUDI SUDHAKARAN:

Will the Minister of HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE be pleased to state:

- (a)  the estimated number of private hospitals likely to be empanelled under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana during the current year, State/UT-wise;
- (b) whether huge outstanding dues of various CGHS  empanelled hospitals have been discouraging hospitals to empanel under various Government schemes including Ayushman Bharat Yojana; and
- (c) if so, the details thereof along with necessary steps taken by the Government in this regard?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

- (a) to (c): State Health Agencies (SHAs) are mandated with the responsibility of empanelling hospitals  under  Ayushman  Bharat-Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Arogya  Yojana  (AB-PMJAY). Intending private hospitals apply for empanelment under the scheme and get empanelled after fulfilling  the  laid  down  criteria.  The  process  of  empanelment  is  voluntary  on  the  part  of private hospitals and subject to the requirement of SHA within a given State/UT. State/UTwise details of private hospitals empanelled under the scheme during the current year 2022 are at Annexure.

Claims management process is streamlined and simplified by shifting CGHS bills processing on  NHA's  IT  platform  since  June,  2021.  Payment  to  private  hospitals  is  made  online  in  a paperless and transparent mode. After issue of sanction by CGHS, claims are paid through PFMS portal.
