At the same time, after this, a meeting will be held with the administrative officials of all paneled private hospitals with IMA in the evening. So far, IMA is adamant on the announcement of stopping treatment from 6 August i.e. 12 o’clock tonight, citing pending payments and system failure.

Haryana’s State Health Agency (SHA) has claimed on Tuesday that the budget has been received from the state government. Now the payment of dues under the Ayushman Yojana has been started to the paneled private hospitals on first-come first serve basis. According to sources, the government has released Rs 310 crore.

At the same time, former president of Indian Medical Association (IMA), Dr. Ajay Mahajan, said that the decision to stop treatment in all 675 hospitals in the state from 12 midnight of July 6 remains intact until the government pays the entire dues and improves the spoiled system.

Rs 2,900 crore given so far: Government spokesperson

The government spokesperson said that since the inception of the scheme, Rs 2,900 crore has been given to the hospitals so far. In the financial year 2025-26, Rs 240.63 crore received from the state and central governments has been given till July 16, 2025. The SHA has also taken cognizance of complaints of delay in payment, claim rejection and non-processing of claims. So far, more than 400 complaints of empanelled hospitals have been formally registered through the CGRMS 2.0 portal.

Full payment, treatment only after system improvement: Mahajan

Former IMA chief Dr Ajay Mahajan said that the government had promised to make the payment by July 15, which amounts to about Rs 500 crore. Now the government has approved Rs 310 crore. It will take more than a month for this amount to reach the hospitals. By then the outstanding amount will increase further. The central government has made a provision to pay 4% interest per month on the total outstanding amount.

Apart from this, the dispute of the previous pending payment has also not been resolved, which is between Rs 50 to 100 crore. He said that on Wednesday afternoon, IMA will have a meeting with Additional Chief Secretary of Health Department Sudhir Rajpal. In the evening, there will be a meeting of the hospital operators included in the panel, in which a decision will be taken on whether treatment will be done under Ayushman Yojana or not.
