Maharashtra is bringing a bill to eliminate doctors cuts or commissions via Prevention of Cut Practices in Healthcare Services Act 2017 that proposes five years’ punishment or fine of Rs 50,000 if a doctor, hospital, clinic, nursing home or any medical professional is found involved in getting commissions by referring patients.
I am surprised , Till today no doctor has officially claimed any commission against their references ,it's just the mutual verbal understanding between the doctor and their associates . Do you really think it can be stopped ? what about their understanding with medical representatives who promote their Brands through these doctors ??? The only alternative to curb this practice would be "Increase the availability of the medicines in Government Hospital Chemist Shops and display the Fee ,make it transparent ,against every TEST recommended by these doctors .Let it be uniform for every test lab. more
Hi Naina, This is welcome that this kind of bill has been thought off and being processed. My full support. However, our country does not lack in Bills / Legislations / Acts, We lack in effective implementation of Bills / Legislations / Acts. There is no fear of law. This needs to be addressed as well. regards Ashok more
