Allegations of fraud have been seen in hospitals across Uttarakhand.

New Delhi:
While the National Health Authority claims that nearly 30 lakh people have already availed the government’s Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme, systems to catch and prevent frauds have begun detecting malpractice in its running.

Cases of alleged fraud have been seen in hospitals across Uttarakhand. An IANS report states that one of the first places where widespread fraud was noticed was Kashipur where “ghost patients” would be referred to private hospitals by government doctors. The money meant for the treatment of these non-existent patients would then be pocketed by the government doctors themselves.

A local resident has now filed a petition in the Uttarakhand high court on this. The court has asked the state government to investigate and take action.

Eleven hospitals in Uttarakhand may be penalised a combined total of more than a crore for irregularities that have been detected in their operations, particularly while utilising funds under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. All of these hospitals have also been removed from the list of empanelled treatment centres where patients can be treated with coverage provided by the Ayushman Bharat scheme, according to a Hindu Businessline report.
