Shimla, August 14: The Himachal Pradesh health department has announced an expansion in the panel of private hospitals under the Chief Minister Himachal Health Care Scheme (HIMCARE) for providing dialysis services. The extension, valid from September 1 to November 30, 2024, is aimed at ensuring seamless access to essential healthcare services for patients requiring regular dialysis.
A spokesperson of the health department emphasized that the extension has been done in the larger public interest to ensure that patients do not face any hindrance in their treatment. The spokesperson also clarified that while the panel of private hospitals for dialysis services has been expanded, all other provisions of the HIMCARE scheme will remain unchanged.
HIMCARE is a health insurance scheme launched by the Himachal Pradesh government to provide cashless medical treatment to residents not covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. It mainly benefits the economically weaker sections, providing coverage for a wide range of treatments at empanelled hospitals.
The inclusion of private hospitals under HIMCARE is expected to reduce the burden on government hospitals, providing patients convenient access to dialysis services at nearby private facilities.
