Hospitals, which generated higher percentage of their revenue through cardiology, have been severely impacted.
Regulation in pricing of stents and implants in the recent past has had a dramatic impact. It has resulted in average drop in price for procedures such as angioplasty and joint replacement, particularly for large hospitals, in the range of 15-30%. Other than issuing specific instructions about the pricing for certain consumables to be followed by hospitals, the authorities had issued further instructions cautioning hospitals not to charge any additional amount through ‘innovative’ heads as was done by a few immediately after the price control. TPAs, on the other hand, continue to put pressure on hospitals for further reduction.
