Private hospitals in Haryana halt Ayushman Bharat Services over unpaid dues

Private hospitals in Haryana have stopped admitting patients with Ayushman Bharat insurance cards. This action, effective since Thursday, involves over 650 private hospitals across the state. The reason cited is the Haryana government's pending dues, which the Indian Medical Association in Haryana states amount to Rs 490 crore. Over 1.5 crore beneficiaries of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana in Haryana are affected, with many being turned away from hospitals.
