Hospital Revenue Cycle Management

Government Panel Billing Management

CGHS, ECHS, DGEHS, ESIC, PSU, PMJAY and state schemes — billed accurately, settled fully.

Government healthcare schemes account for a significant share of in-patient revenue at many hospitals — but they're also where the highest billing complexity, the strictest audit risk and the longest settlement cycles live. CGHS, ECHS, DGEHS, ESIC, PSU panels, PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat) and state schemes each have their own rate cards, eligibility rules, pre-authorisation processes and audit-recovery clauses. Our Government Panel Billing service runs all of them end-to-end with scheme-specific expertise.

Business Challenges

Where Hospitals Lose Revenue

Government scheme billing is where hospitals most often leak revenue without realising it:

  • Outdated rate cards

    Scheme rate cards change but the hospital's billing master doesn't catch up, leaving money on the table.

  • Eligibility verification gaps

    Beneficiary eligibility, dependency status and policy validity not verified at admission — leading to claim rejection.

  • Pre-authorisation lapses

    Each scheme has its own pre-auth process; missing steps cause downstream deductions or rejections.

  • Documentation under scheme rules

    Scheme-specific document formats — referral letters, dependency certificates, ID validations — not collected on time.

  • Long settlement cycles

    Many government schemes settle in 90–180 days; weak follow-up extends this further.

  • Post-payment audit risk

    Many schemes can audit claims years later and recover payment if documentation is weak — silent contingent liability.

  • Empanelment renewal lapses

    Empanelment renewal cycles missed, leading to temporary loss of eligibility to bill the scheme.

Scheme billing done right protects current revenue and removes future audit-recovery risk — both are equally important.

Our Solution

Scheme-Specific Billing Discipline — Across Every Government Panel

We run separate scheme-specific workstreams for each government panel your hospital is empanelled with — CGHS, ECHS, DGEHS, ESIC, PSU panels (BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, IOCL, BSNL, Railways, Defence and others), PMJAY and state-level schemes (RGHS, MJPJAY, YSR Aarogyasri, Karunya, Mukhyamantri Amrutum and others).

Each scheme has its own rate card, package definitions, pre-authorisation process and documentation requirement embedded in our workflow. Eligibility is verified at admission — beneficiary card validity, dependency status, referral validity where required. Pre-authorisation is initiated under the scheme's defined process and tracked.

Bills are constructed against the current scheme rate card with package versus itemised decision per claim. Documentation is assembled to the scheme's specification before submission. Settlement is followed up through the scheme's defined process — and aged scheme AR gets focused recovery effort given the longer normal settlement cycle.

Empanelment renewals are tracked and managed proactively, so no scheme drops out of active status. Post-payment audit risk is mitigated by maintaining audit-ready documentation in scheme-prescribed format, available on demand for years after settlement.
