They expressed our grievance. It was told that our points will be considered. As said earlier once our Scientific Costing Study is ready it will be easy for us to meet them to lobby with them. CEA Currently CEAsection 5 , clause 2 is a big issue which is killing our Hospitals literally, we have made a representation with the help of our State President Dr.T.Senthamil Pari in Tamil and English. We are going to meet the Ministers and if possible, our Chief Minister and to force them to remove the clause from the section 5 which states that the Hospital can be closed without any prior information. Almost 15 hospitals in Tamilnadu are closed using this act, so we are acting vigorously to get this removed. We are planning to send the representation which is made ready in English and Tamil through Register post addressing Chief Minister and copy to Health Minister and Health Secretary.

The investigating officer should collect all the evidences and Documents and get opinion from the Govt Doctor, preferably from the Medical College Hospitals before registering Medical Negligence Cases. No case would be registered without the opinion of the experts.Police should Obtain legal opinion of the Public Prosecutor. In Medical negligence cases under 304 A all evidences & documents should be submitted in the jurisdictional court & action should be taken according to court instructions. No doctor should be arrested even though there is a Prima facia. The Commissioner/ Superintendent should monitor that case. The DGP / 73

HPF should be informed about the case within 24 hours. State President added that no such case should be registered under 304A easily. We are sensitizing all IMA the branches accordingly. The above order was possible, due to the book released by our Dr. K. Thangamuthu. Hence, the books are being supplied to all the Police officials. I happened to talk to the Health Minister during the Maruthuva Natchathira Virudhu, and handed over our proposals, he was kind enough to go through the demands. The proposals are,1) Removal of clause 5/2 ( AGovt. Competent authority can cancel the licence of CEAin an interest of the public), 2) Inclusion of IMA representative in the Advisory Committee TNHSP, CMCHIS etc.3) Single window system to get all licenses 4) Totake steps to give Doctors Day award for past 4 years which is pending.

Thanking the FSS teams for their effort to increase membership, he expressed his desire to complete at least 200 members during his tenure. We are planning to visit certain potential branches and request the members to join FSS.

PPLSSS is doing very well, IMA PPLSSS Guest House is being monitored by Dr.V.Saravanan. income is increased and the expenditure is being restricted.

CMCHIS rates what we are getting is very less comparing other States, hence we had requested at least the amount paid in PMJAY, which is better. The book released by Dr. K.

State President requested the detailed report from the members, so as to take up the matter to the higher level. Dr. N.R.T.R. Thiagarajan,Hony. State Secretary: Recently the Intelligence officers of GST made a surprise visit to our State Office and gathered certain information and send a notice to meet the officials. As per the direction of IMA HQs., we were collecting GST since Feb 2023, and paying to IMAHQs, because we do not have the GST number. As we have got the GST Number now, we pay the GST amount against our GST number. Meantime, there is a notice to pay the GST amt. starting from 2017 to 2022. When, we had consulted the IMA HQs., we have been asked to consult the Kerala IMA, where it is said to have gone to the court. No IMA is paying GST from 2017 to 2022, except Delhi IMA. Hence, we are taking the same stand, ie. not to pay GST from 2017 to 2022, till we get a legal means. Dr. T. SenthamilPari, State President: As we did not collect GST from 2017 to 2022, we do not pay GST. Dr.N. Mohandas, Past State President: We have decided earlier that the National IMA will pay GST for the amount what we had collected and sent to them. As we had received GST number now only, we need not pay GST for the period before the receipt of the GST Number. The branches not to mention the GST collected, but send to whole amount to State Office. Dr. T. SenthamilPari, State President: The branches may receive the amount from the members, what is to be send to the State, balance amount to be collected as a donation. The membership collected is transferred to State, to avoid GST problem at the Branch level. State office will pay GST for the State office share received from the branches. GST will be paid by the IMA HQs. for the amount sent by us. Dr. R.M. Krishnan, Past State President: We need not to pay GST on retrospect. State President said, we are going to consult the auditor regarding paying GST retrospectively. Dr. S. Karthick Prabhu, NHB Chairman: We pay GST in IMA Coimbatore, because we do collect hall rent etc. There are IMA branches where only the subscription is collected and paid to the State, which need not to pay GST. There should be an input claim to pay GST. When health care is exempted from GST, we can give representation to exempt Doctors professional income as well. We can try legally. Dr.M. Mariappan, IMACoimbatore: Smaller branches need not to pay GST as they are running the branches in loss. He also appreciated the Finance Secretary for the detailed accounting, same 76

time a brief monthly accounts may be printed in the TIMA Newsletter, which would solve lot of accounting problems. Dr. A.K. Ravikumar, Immd. Past State Secretary: Donations are exempted from GST, the branches can collect the membership fee as donations. The component of membership fee for State and Central only sent to the State. Dr. S. Kanagasabhapathy, Past State President: All the professional body must pay GST. Going to court may favour or bother us. It is better to consult the Auditor and negotiate with the GST officials and come for a compromise deal. Going to court should be a last choice. Dr.Bhoopathy John, IMA Chennai Kodambakkam : GST is burden for the health sector where collecting small amount for consulting. It is better to collect the Membership fee along with the GST as donations at the branch level. Dr. Muthukumar, IMA Trichy: It is found certain TAs paid for Flight charge, is it right? It is replied by the State Secretary Dr. N.R.T.R. Thiagarajan, depends upon the urgency of the programme, one is allowed to travel in a Flight and TApaid, not generally. Dr.N. Mohandas, Past State President: The awards are given from the interest amount of the amount fixed as Fixed deposit. When there was no deposit, also there was no award list for three awards by Dr. R. Palaniswamy, how was the awards given last time? In which amount the award was given? Dr. T. Senthamil Pari, State President: I have asked him to collect the TA DA from the State Office for the activities of the State branch, not for the trips to the branches. He can pay for three awards, ie. Rs. 2.25 Lakhs to institute 3 awards. Dr. A.K. Ravikumar, Immd. Past State Secretary: It is not possible to conduct award function from the interest of the Fixed deposits. It is the state office and the Conference hosting branch sharing the expenditure 50:50. IMACoimbatore was paid Rs. 2.75 lakhs for the award. Dr. N.

dragged by various Acts and Laws, especially the Insurance. Earlier, we were doing it as the social arbitration to the Government, but now the Private Insurances also putting rules on us. As the earlier studies told, the smaller hospitals are going to suffer, it is happening so. Problem in Insurances starting with Empanelment. Hospitals are asked to take the package rate what the private Insurance companies having, even it is not scientifically planned. Payment issues: They sanction and they don't pay, and settle the amount with less amount, in occasion they don't pay the amount. Bills are pending in lakhs. Depanelments- of late we see hospitals are repanelled for no reasons and we don't have body to represent. Discounts-They give their own packages and they ask for the discounts. 100% Cashless: GIC on the instructions of IRDAI is going to empanel hospitals for 100% cashless with all IC/TPAS. IMAs demand was, all the hospitals should be empanelled with all the insurance companies, but they decides the rates and we have to sign, this rates are scientifically derived. They have the average rates by the agencies throughout the country, but not scientific. They have not included the service providers in the committee of GIC/IRDAI. They are selectively select the hospitals, 100% cashless, and hospitals are there to sign and later suffer. We had kept away GIPSA for 1 1/2 years, then thy accepted the rate what we requested for. Even GIPSA had empanelled only 40 hospitals instead of 120, stating the shortage of Manpower. Similar thing is going to happen in 100% cashless. Reimbursement is not going to be there. Selecting the Hospital and the Doctor is curtailed. No representation in the Committee. The patient is to run here and there with the card, in search of service. Hence, package rates are to be planned by the committee. All the eligible hospitals are have the right to empanel with the insurance companies. We have no proper forum to represent. Hence the during the National Insurance summit, we had passed the following resolutions. 1. Single window system for all the empanelment 2. Scheme for the middle-income group people 3. Common redressal forum-for hospital and the insurance companies 4. The scientific study what we had prepared in 2018 and supplied to Ayushman Bharath and IRDA etc., they accept and they don't want to implement. A committee is to be formed with the stake holders, costing accountant, Insurance companies and IRDA. 5. Hospital board of India and NHB must be a member in all the policy making. Even after the resolution passed, they have not invited the stakeholders in the committee. Wehave still insisted that, all the eligible hospitals to be empanelled with the insurance companies, there should be no packages, if at all there, fixed components of the packages are to be feezed. Our costing study templates are to be validated and to be followed across the country. No Suo moto e-panelment of the hospitals. Re-empanel all the de-panelled hospitals. Representation of important service providers must be there in all the important policy making decisions. All the policy holders is have the right to go to any Doctor & we should have reimbursement portal. Entry level NABH accreditation for empanelment in the Insurance companies are to be decided. Immediate payments before the patient discharged on completion of the treatment are to be settled by the Insurance companies. Common Redressal forum is to be formed to decide the depanelment of hospitals. Package and discounts are to be worked out scientifically. Variable components cannot be in the package rate. 84

Costings are done based on the basic standards of CEA and Central Act 2010. The hospital having 10 beds are eligible to empanel in the Insurance companies. Dr. T. SenthamilPari, State President: We should try to negotiate the package rates, if not we can go for a legal action. Dr. C.N. Raja, Past State President:We are in business with Insurance companies for 10 to 12 years. We have signed with GIPSA with the rate decided, which was the debacle.Govt. and the Pvt. Companies are not ready to accept our costings. This is the time we must agitate and ask for our demand, we have to take it to the higher level and make it reality. We should help the poor, same time we should viability to help. We have to fight and get our rights. 100% cashless in not possible. Prof. Dr. V. Varadharajan, Past State President: The hospitals having more than 10 beds are eligible to be empanelled in Ayushman Bharath. Choosing the Govt and few Private hospitals is illegal. Insurance companies cannot decide the package rate. Patient has the right to choose the Doctor, he cannot be asked to go to other hospital. We have to take the matter to the higher level, also educate the public, as well as the Doctors. As per the Supreme Court orders, Insurance companies what they are doing is wrong, they cannot decide the rate. Dr.K. Selvam, IMA Chennai Kodambakkam:There should be no discount in the payments to any Insurance companies. Package rates must be same for the hospitals. We have to form a committee and settle the issues day to day. Dr. Sasiraj, IMAThanjavur:We must come to the standard that all the hospitals should have IMA Certification, to have all other certificates through single window system. Dr. T. SenthamilPari, State President: We have represented to settle the payments within 15 days. As we are gathering the dues pending for Doctors, we request the insurance companies to make payment at the earliest. Dr. S.Karthick Prabhu, Chairman NHB: It is better to display the consultation fee for each category of the Doctors. We should pass a resolution that we would not accept a package rate which is fixed even it is Govt. or private insurance company, unless which the hospitals will not get any support from IMA. Dr. Palaniappan, IMA Salem: The private insurance companies don't release the amount if a claim is late even for a day, even it is sanctioned, IMAmust help us. Dr. Aadhar Senthil, IMATirupur: When many of us is not ready for undertake the procedure in the package rate quoted by the Insurance companies, there are few ready for it. There is no cooperation among us. Any agitation is possible if all the hospitals are coming under NHP. Unless we don't have cooperation among us, the insurance companies don't listen to us. Dr. Kumaresan, IMAGobichettipalayam: We have to convince the Corporate hospitals to accept our norms with Insurance companies.Local IMAs must be very strong and have a big role to play to have a cooperation among Corporate Hospitals and IMA. 85

Dr. Seetharam, IMA Coimbatore: We can take up our package rates to the public, so as to have a better understanding in the public. Dr.J.A. Jayalal, Past National President, IMA HQs.: Issues what we are facing is 100% Cashless- We may opposes by giving Press statement. Together empanelment-another big issue. The GIC is formed a committee, where there is no stakeholder in it, only the insurance company people are there, without any official representation, we will not be able to do anything. It is not possible to bring all the hospitals together. We can invite AHP and other speciality organisations, prepare a joint resolution and send it to the Insurance companies. Also, IMA can get an online poll among all the hospitals on 100% cashless and produce the result to them. Dr. A.K. Ravikumar, Chairman-Hospital Board of India: We, myself and the National President IMAHQs. is planning to meet the Chairman-IRDA. Costings are done as per the standards of CEA. Dr. K.M.Abul Hasan, State President Elect: They are not taken up our costings yet. What is the reaction to our scientific costings? The discussion is not taken place yet. We have to break the ice and push our costings across the table on dialogue. We need not anticipate the members and hospitals to come together to achieve what we demand. Dr. T. SenthamilPari, State President: GIC is particular about 100% Cashless, which is attraction to the public. IRDAand Govt. also going support the 100% cashless. In such case, if we oppose, we don't get public support. We need to give the detailed reasons for not accepting 100% cashless. State President requested NHB office bearers to invite all the speciality organisations to the press meet, on the day we publish out our demands to Insurance companies and spread out our demand to the public. th 318 SCM resolved that, the 100% Cashless can be agreed in our viable scientific costing rate only. No discount is allowed. Renewal of MOU every two years. We need common redressal tribunal. Dr. C.N. Raja, Past State President: The Scientific Costings can be put it in the public domain to see the public and the Insurance companies. Sensitising the members who are not in IMAfold also. MINIMUM WAGES: Dr. S.Karthick Prabhu, NHB Chairman said, The period of the Committee formed for Minimum wages has expired and the revision committee also expired and the new committee is to be formed. We have represented our demand to include our members in the Minimum Wages Committee. Dr.V.N. Alagavenkatesan, State Finance Secretary: The members nominated by the Government is in the name of the post and not by the name. Dr.K.
