In a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday, it was decided that teachers, non-teaching staff, and their dependent families associated with the state's Secondary and Basic Education Departments will now be able to avail cashless treatment in private hospitals in addition to government hospitals.
The registration process was virtually inaugurated from the State Health Agency (SHA) Office, commencing in two districts—Tarn Taran and Barnala.
Sources in the state health department said, “Besides the outstanding bills for treatment of Covid patients, the hospital is yet to get a huge amount of money from the government for providing cashless treatment to patients under the SS insurance scheme.”
The ministry has written to principal secretaries and secretaries in charge of transport in all states and union territories soliciting their views on concept note of the scheme by the 10th of this month.
