The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has issued a new draft standard aiming to bring transparency in hospital billing, ensuring clarity and fairness in medical charges for patients across India.
Under this draft guideline, hospitals may soon be required to present bills in a uniform format showing individual service charges, diagnostic test costs, and doctor’s fees separately.
This move follows increasing complaints about opaque billing practices in private healthcare facilities. Experts say the new standard will empower patients with better understanding of their healthcare expenses and promote accountability among hospitals.
A transparent billing system will help restore patient trust and strengthen ethical medical practices in India’s healthcare ecosystem.
