New Delhi: The controversy over public sector insurance companies withdrawing cashless treatment facility at select hospitals will be over within a month.
As many as four private hospitals -- Apollo, Max, Fortis and Medanta City -- are talking to insurance companies to settle the issue. For now, all medical emergencies, cardiac and trauma care facilities will be covered.
New India Assurance, United India Insurance, National Insurance and Oriental Insurance had stopped the cashless service from July 1 because of alleged over-billing by some private hospitals.
Representatives of the four public sector companies and private hospitals held a meeting on Wednesday to sort out the problems following withdrawal of the cashless treatment.
Insurance regulator IRDA on Wednesday expressed hope that the row over withdrawal of the cashless treatment facility at select hospitals by public sector insurance companies will be sorted out shortly.
