BHOPAL: Amid reports of black marketing of Remdesivir injections and claim rejection by insurance companies to the Covid affected families, former vice-president of Mineral Development Corporation, Govind Maloo has sought the intervention of Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to rectify the lapses in the interest of the policyholders.
Maloo has also urged chief minister Chouhan to impose NSA (National Security Act) against those involved in the blackmarketing of oxygen cylinders, injections and other medical essentials to curb malpractice.
"During Covid pandemic, many instances have been reported where the insurance companies are rejecting the claims or are making unnecessary deductions from the Insurance claims. The companies have stopped giving cashless facilities. Even if they allow, the hospital management is seeking 50 per cent or more of the bill amount as deposit. I raised this issue before Union Finance Minister Nirmala Nitharaman and instructions have been issued thereon," Maloo told TOI.
