TheTelangana Aarogyasri Health Care Trustis reviewing the coverage of medical and surgical procedures and is going to add 539 new procedures to its list soon.
Experts from Gandhi Hospital, Osmania General Hospital and the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences are currently working on developing a standard protocol for these essential procedures, including organ transplants.
Also revision of packages (for existing procedures) under the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) Aarogyasri scheme is being worked out, as the previous revision of rates was last done in 2013. Due to the outdated rates, a majority of the private and corporate hospitals have shown very little interest in treating patients under the scheme.
