VADODARA: You may have tested negative in the rapid antigen testing (RAT) and then RT-PCR, which is considered gold standard for testing, too. Still, chances are high that you could be Covid-19 positive.
Doctors across Gujarat are coming across an increasing number of cases where patients test negative in RT-PCR but their high-resolution CT (HRCT) reveals significant infection in the lungs.
The problem has become so acute that the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has issued a notification stating that the current strain of Covid-19 does not necessarily show a positive test on RT-PCR but the insurance companies and third-party administrators (TPAs) should treat them as Covid. “In cases where RT-PCR is negative but findings in HRCT and lab investigations are suggestive of viral etiology,the claim should be treated as that of Covid unless proved otherwise,” states VMC’s order issued under the Epidemic Diseases Act
As many as 20 approvals were put on hold by TPAs in last three days
Vadodara: At a time when hospitalizations have doubled during the ongoing second wave of Covid-19 across major cities of Gujarat, finding a bed is not the only difficulty that patients are facing. A majority of private hospitals in the state are declining cashless treatment facility for Covid-19 to mediclaim policyholders.
The hospitals on their part say that third party administrators (TPAs) are delaying authorization letters as well as final settlements which even if approved are done with haphazard cuts in the final bills.
As many as 20 approvals were put on hold by TPAs in the last three days in Vadodara citing admission protocol notification that was issued by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC).
