Hospitals should not bill patients for Covid treatment, says NHSO
Private hospitals cannot charge Covid-19 patients for treatment, the National Health Security Office (NHSO) said.
NHSO secretary-general Jadet Thammathat-Aree held a video conference with private hospitals nationwide on Wednesday. He said later that the NHSO had asked private hospitals not to charge Covid-19 patients.
Private hospitals attending the meeting said they had to charge Covid-19 patients previously due to the NHSO’s delayed reimbursement for Covid-19 treatment costs.
