Ghanti Bajao: Private hospitals inflating medical bill, reveals NPPA report
Watch this exclusive report where we expose how private hospitals are making medicines way of earning profit while goernment is inactive.
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority has found that private hospitals are inflating medical bills by prescribing drugs which do not fall under price control and are overcharging patients for medical tests and consumable items such as gloves and syringes.
About 25% of a patient’s hospital bill is the cost of non-schedule formulations, or those not under price controls, which are priced exorbitantly. About 10% of the bill is a result of the charges for consumables and 15% is for diagnostic services.
