Highlighting the
scheme, Tuki said that it would help provide quality healthcare to all the
beneficiaries which will help bring down the mortality rate.
He also informed that
the service providers, the Royal Sundaram Alliance Insurance limited
had already signed MoU with the state government and would provide health
insurance cover under the government sponsored RSBY to the BPL families in the
state.
Initially ten
districts out of total 17 have been selected for the scheme, while the rest
would be included at a later stage, Tuki said.
RSBY is a unique
scheme which empowers the card holder to get cashless treatment from all RSBY
network hospitals across India. The scheme covers hospitalization expenses of a
BPL family of five members for up to thirty thousand rupees.
The company has
empanelled 9 hospitals in the state including Papumpare, East Siang, West
Siang, Lower Subansiri, West Kameng, East Kameng, Changlang, Lohit and Tirap.
The beneficiaries of
RSBY can choose to go to any network hospitals in any districts in India and
the benefits can be availed by producing the smartcard at the hospital.
Approximately forty thousand BPL families are expected to get benefitted by the
scheme in the state.
