Name hospitals not on cashless list, says CIC.

Monday 05, September, 2011 The Central Information Commission has ordered that public sector health insurance companies must provide names of hospitals that do not feature in the Preferred Provider Network (PPN) for cashless services to an applicant under the Right to Information Act. The commission has also directed insurance companies to provide reasons for taking the hospitals off the list. In the decision dated July 27, 2011, Information Commissioner Deepak Sandhu said this information needs to be disclosed as the person may have taken a medi-claim policy on the assumption that the cashless facility will be made available to him or her in all hospitals that feature on the list provided by the company.
