ECHS

Information. Latest and updated information is available ECHS News Letter at www.indianarmy.nic.in/arechs.htm. (Links are given in the "Bulletin Board" and in "useful webpages" in Report My Signal Blog)

Periodic News Letter. The next issue of News Letter and also in future, will be put on the website.

Delayed Clearance of Bills. Delayed clearance of bills is a problem mainly at a few high pressure stations due to large number of bills received from empanelled hospitals. At times hospitals delay submission of bills by upto six months. A hospital in Noida and Vellore submitted 500 and 600 bills respectively in a single day, after six months, and expected the bills to be cleared in next seven days. Many of them were inflated, thus necessitating greater effort in scrutinising. However, following measures have been initiated :-

Appointment of Consultants and Clerks from AG’s Welfare Fund at 31 high pressure stations at annual cost of Rs. 55,08,000/-.

A case has also been taken up with MOD for authorisation of consultants and clerks at these high pressure stations.

A comprehensive SOP has been prepared for timely bill processing of empanelled hospitals.

An advisory committee at each Station HQ has been constituted to regularly interact with the empanelled hospitals to resolve such issues like non-clearance of bills.

Hospitals have been advised to submit bills regularly and not to accumulate them.
