IMA Haryana announce to suspend Ayushman Scheme

The Indian Medical Association (IMA), Haryana, has announced to suspend Ayushman Scheme from Feb 3 citing the pending dues of empanelled hospitals in the state.

In a statement, the Haryana chapter of IMA said, “We have been again approached by all empanelled hospitals of Haryana to act on their behalf and inform you that if demands are not met soon, they will be forced to suspend Ayushman services from 3rd February 2025.”

The statement said that it is very unfortunate that even after 15 days having passed meeting with chief minister, members have not received any significant amount and even the amounts received have large unwarranted deductions. This is a matter of concern and has caused great distress to our members.

Dr Mahavir Jain, president of IMA (Haryana), said in the statement that “All pending dues must be paid immediately and a system must be developed that no deductions should be done once approval has been given by PPD. Give pre-approval after confirming all documents but there should be no deductions once approval has been done.

The IMA has also demanded that interest on delayed payments should be calculated as per MoU and to be paid to all concerned Hospitals. “We are sure that you will clear these grievances immediately so that poor of the State do not suffer”, said Haryana chief of IMA.
