Health Insurance Board urges hospitals to implement EMR system

Summary

The Health Insurance Board has urged hospitals and other health institutions to implement an EMR system for submitting health insurance claims. It says the move will speed up verification, improve transparency, and reduce delays in claim payments.

Key Points
  • The Health Insurance Board has asked service-providing hospitals and health institutions to submit health insurance claims through an EMR system.
  • Most affiliated institutions are still filing claims manually, which slows verification and payment.
  • The board says digitizing claims management will make the system faster, more transparent, and more efficient.
  • Hospitals have been asked to share details of their current software, modules, and plans for EMR expansion.
