Mysore/Mysuru: Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.V. Rajendra has directed Hospitals to display treatment charges list and to receive only the cost that is in accordance with the Karnataka Private Medical Establishments Act, 2007 (KPME Act).
He was presiding over the meeting of the District Co-ordination Committee of the Health Department at the DC Office here recently. Noting that his office has been receiving many complaints of excess charging by Private Hospitals, Dr. Rajendra said that in the absence of treatment charges list, patients are finding it hard to pay medical bills after treatment or during discharge from Hospitals.
