Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha alleged in Parliament that some doctors and diagnostic centres operate an informal referral commission system, where doctors are paid to send patients for tests. He claimed these commissions ultimately increase patients' medical bills by 15–20% and may encourage unnecessary diagnostic tests. Chadha also urged patients to remain alert to potential warning signs.

Raghav Chadha said the issue is especially relevant for tier-2 or tier-3 cities, where the referral commission is becoming an informal economy. | India News
