PM-JAY पुनर्भुगतान दावों में देरी और अस्वीकृति (PM-JAY Reimbursement Claim Delays and Rejections)
Definition
PM-JAY claims are verified against case-based bundled payment rates. Hospitals lacking standardized cost data struggle to support their claims with complete cost evidence. The Tracking Management System (TMS) used by PM-JAY requires detailed cost input, but manual data entry creates discrepancies and delays verification. Claims are flagged for manual review, re-submission requests, and extended approval timelines.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹10-30 lakhs monthly in delayed reimbursement (working capital impact); estimated ₹120-360 lakhs annually per large hospital; opportunity cost at 8% annual interest rate adds ₹10-30 lakhs
- Frequency: Monthly (ongoing reimbursement cycle); recurring delays for 30-90 days per claim batch
- Root Cause: Incomplete cost documentation in PM-JAY claims; manual verification by NHA teams; lack of real-time cost data validation in TMS; slow reconciliation between hospital submitted costs and NHA benchmark rates
