The authorised service price list for the government’s health insurance scheme ‘Aasandha’ has been publicised by the Aasandha Company as private hospitals and clinics begin charging a co-payment from patients.
Aasandha Company Managing Director Mohamed Shafaz told local daily Haveeru today that prices could vary depending on private clinics while a charge of MVR50 for general consultation and MVR100 for specialist consultation would be uniform.
While healthcare would still be free of charge in government hospitals, the Aasandha Company revealed that agreements had been reached between private hospital ADK and eight clinics to provide the service with a co-payment.
