Delhi High Court Directs Insurance Companies To Communicate Their Approval To Hospitals Within 30 To 60 Minutes To Ensure Discharge Of COVID Patients In Time

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued slew of directions on the availability of Remdesivir in an online portal, providing information on the availability of vacant beds capable of providing oxygen treatment and approval by insurance companies during discharge of covid 19 patients. Approval by Insurance companies during discharge of COVID-19 patients The Court directed Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India to issue immediate instructions to insurance companies/their agents to ensure that whenever requests are received for approval for discharge of patients who were affected by COVID-19 and are covered by insurance policies, no delay occurs in giving the approvals. Hospital Admissions and Availability of Oxygen Beds During the course of hearing, it was submitted by the petitioner before the Court that the GNCTD portal www.delhifightscorona.in could be misleading as the patients are unable to obtain admissions due to large number of people already being in queue for obtaining ICU admissions. Noting that it would be useful it the hospitals indicate as to whether the beds vacant are capable of providing oxygen treatment or not, the Court observed that the data on the portal has to be on "much more real time basis" which need to be updated every one or two hours.
