Meditrina Hospitals has urged the Haryana government to immediately revise package rates for cashless interventional cardiac services provided under the public-private partnership (PPP) model, saying the rates have remained unchanged for eight years despite a sharp rise in treatment costs.
The hospital has been providing cashless angiography, angioplasty and other life-saving cardiac procedures since 2017 at its centres in Gurugram, Faridabad, Panchkula and Ambala for beneficiaries, including below poverty line (BPL) families, Scheduled Caste (SC) beneficiaries and Haryana government employees.
The Centre revised CGHS rates in December 2023 and again in 2025, but the corresponding revision under Haryana’s PPP agreement has not yet been implemented, the hospital said. It added that repeated representations have been submitted to the principal medical officer (PMO), the director general of health services (DGHS), Haryana, and the concerned chief medical officers (CMOs), seeking implementation of the revised rates.
Hospital officials said the cost of manpower, medical consumables, cardiac implants, medicines, equipment maintenance and other operational expenses has increased substantially over the past eight years, making it difficult to sustain quality cardiac care at rates fixed more than a decade ago.
