Haryana Clears Rs 2,900 Crore Hospital Bill Logjam
The Haryana State Health Agency (SHA) announced today the release of pending payments to hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY). This follows a strong warning from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) regarding potential service disruptions.
Funds amounting to Rs 2,900 crore have been disbursed, clearing claims up to early May 2025. The SHA has confirmed that this significant payment addresses a major backlog.
The agency assures that a transparent claim processing system is in place to address outstanding grievances. This move is expected to significantly ease the financial burden on hospitals and ensure the continued provision of crucial healthcare services under the scheme.
This timely intervention averts a potential healthcare crisis in Haryana, demonstrating the state government’s commitment to the successful implementation of the AB-PMJAY. The efficient processing of these claims will undoubtedly strengthen the healthcare ecosystem within the state.
