## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 1855 TO BE ANSWERED ON 06 TH DECEMBER, 2024

## ENLISTED HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS

## 1855. SHRI IMRAN MASOOD:

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

- (a) the total number of hospitals empanelled and functioning since 2023, month and year-wise; and
- (b) the steps taken by the Government to increase the number of Enlisted Health Care Providers (EHCPs) per beneficiary?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILYWELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

(a) & (b) As on date, the information regarding Hospitals empanelled under CGHS, CS(MA) Rules, 1944 and Ayushman Bharat PMJAY is attached at Annexure-I, Annexure-II and Annexure -III respectively.

Empanelment of Private Hospitals under the above schemes is a continuous and voluntary process, in which the intending Private Hospital may apply for empanelment. Private Hospitals fulfilling the laid down criteria are empanelled under the scheme.

Although Hospital empanelment is a voluntary process, the steps taken under PMJAY to improve the participation of hospitals, are as follows:

- (i) NHAhas released a revised health benefit package, under which rates are increased for 350 packages and new packages are added.
- (ii) Claim settlement are regularly monitored to ensure settlement within defined turnaround time.
- (iii) Virtual and physical capacity building of hospitals are being undertaken.
- (iv) A hospital-specific call center (14413) has been set-up to address the concerns of hospitals on a real-time basis.
