2. The rates of PPE kit to be levied by the empanelled hospitals for covid or suspect covid cases have been laid down as per the above letters. In the case of non-covid patients, no additional PPE is authorised.
3. It has been observed with concern from the feedback received from the envt that Empanelled Hospitals are charging from Non Covid cases of ECHS beneficiaries for Patient Safety kits / PPE kits, which is against the prevalent orders. It is once again reiterated that no cash charges will be levied upon the ECHS beneficiaries by empanelled Hospitals,
