The Medical Council of India (MCI) has asked doctors from across private hospitals to send unpaid bills of emergency cases directly to the state. With a rise in cases of emergency patients not clearing their bills, the statutory medical body has asked the Indian Medical Association to take up the responsibility of getting the bills cleared from the respective state governments.
\"We have received an advisory from the MCI. We have already sent circulars to over 2.5 lakh doctors asking them to start billing the state government in cases where emergency patients fail to pay their bills,\" said IMA president Dr KK Aggarwal. |
