In surge of corona infected cases in Andhra Pradesh, State Government has issued orders to hospitals that made fixation of price for test land lab detection. Let us share here that Government ordered to hospitals and labs to cap the rates of CT/HRCT scan (computerised tomography/high-resolution computed tomography) at a maximum of Rs 3,000, including consumables like PPE, mask etc. on Sunday.

Here it is to be noted that the state medical and health department has warned that stringent action will be taken if patients were overcharged. The government has also directed that the details of those who get CT scan and COVID positive should be registered online. Hospitals and diagnostic centres providing CT scans to diagnose COVID-19 have been directed to register on the state government’s COVID-19 web portal and upload details of each scan performed, which will be available to hospitals so they can admit patients based on the scan image and report.

To be noted that on April 17, the AP state government has issued orders fixing the maximum price of Remdesivir injection at  Rs 2,500 for the 100mg Remdesivir offered by various brands.
