The Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta has requested a report from the state health department and NHM mission director regarding the verification and payment of 108 ambulance bills, citing concerns that patient names and mobile numbers are missing.
The Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta has formally demanded a detailed report from the state health department’s chief secretary and the National Health Mission’s mission director. The inquiry follows complaints that 108 ambulance service bills are being processed and paid even though essential patient details such as name and mobile number are absent.
The Lokayukta’s notice highlights concerns over the lack of proper verification protocols for emergency medical services. It seeks clarification on how bills are validated and how payments are authorized without complete patient information.
Both the chief secretary of the health department and the NHM mission director have been instructed to submit their findings and corrective measures within a specified timeframe. The investigation aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the state’s emergency medical billing system.
The matter underscores the need for stricter oversight in public health services, particularly in emergency response units that rely on accurate patient data for billing and reimbursement.
