Chandigarh, September 23
The state has provided a claim amount of Rs 169.06 crore under the Ayushman Bharat scheme launched two years ago.
Ashok Kumar Meena, Chief Executive Officer, Ayushman Bharat-Haryana Health Protection Authority, told this to the media here on Wednesday.
“The applications for claims are processed fast. The state has only 0.77 per cent claim overdue with hospitals. About 7.7 lakh families in the state have Ayushman Bharat cards,” he said.
The Ayushman Bharat is a flagship scheme of the Centre designed to change the approach of the health service delivery from segmented to a comprehensive need-based approach.
Ayushman Bharat Haryana has verified 22.46 lakh beneficiaries in two years, besides empaneling 545 hospitals.
To ensure transparency, Meena said 100 per cent Aadhaar seeding of golden cards and 100 per cent biometric authentication at the time of hospitalisation (except in neonates and emergencies) had been completed.
On the irregularities, the official said 90,000 cards were blocked after anomalies came to the fore. “Three FIRs were registered in 2019. One hospital was dis-empaneled, while three to four were suspended.”
On steps taken to ensure better health services, Dr Ravi Vimal, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Ayushman Bharat Haryana, said: “Of the 163 hospitals with the Quality Council of India (QCI) accreditation in the country, 75 are in Haryana.”
Among the 75 QCI-accredited hospitals, 33 have received a gold certificate, 39 silver and three bronze.
