1. Government issued orders in the G.O. 9th read above, by notifying the ‘Input Code Book’, ‘Standard Schedule of Rates for 2012-13’, and the ‘Final Therapy Prices ’, for being adopted by the Aarogyasri Health Care Trust for determining the package rates for treatment of patients in empanelled hospitals, for Rajiv Aarogyasri Scheme.
2. In the letter 10th read above, the Chief Executive Officer, Aarogyasri Healthcare Trust has submitted the ‘Final Therapy prices for Employees Health Scheme’ which include additional therapies in addition to the existing Aarogyasri therapies, prepared basing on the ‘Input Code Book’ and ‘Standard Scheduled of Rates (SSR 2012-13)’ already notified in the G.O. 9th read above. These final therapy prices are inclusive of OP evaluation.
3. In the G.O., 9th read above, Standard Schedule of Rates for 2012-13 are approved according to which Rs.900/- per day is the rate prescribed for General Ward. Government have decided to consider Rs.1200/- per day for stay in semi-private ward and Rs.1500/- per day for private ward in the non-NABH accredited hospitals. In so far as the NABH accredited hospitals are concerned, the rates would be Rs.1500/- per day for semiprivate ward and Rs.2000/- per day for private ward. This would be an incentive to the NABH accredited hospitals for promoting quality of health care. The APIMA Rules adopt CGHS norms and the CGHS prescribes incentives to the NABH accredited hospitals for promoting quality of health care. Hence, NABH hospitals are considered for higher tariff so far as hospital stay is concerned. Moreover, the scheme will be reviewed after obtaining the actual data for six months, the rationalization of the above prices for semi-private ward and private wards would also be considered in the review. The Chief Executive Officer, Aarogyasri Health Care Trust will carefully monitor the implementation of the Scheme and after obtaining the actual data for six months, will place the same before the Steering Committee for considering rationalization of the above prices for semi-private ward and private wards.
4. Government after careful examination hereby issue the following orders:-

• a. List of therapies and the package prices are placed in the Annexure. These shall be adopted by Aarogyasri Health Care Trust for treatment of patients in empanelled hospitals, under the Employees Health Scheme.
• b. The Chief Executive Officer, Aarogyasri Healthcare Trust is authorized to include any additional inputs, which may be required during the course of implementation of the scheme, code them, finalise the prices and append the same in the Medical Input Code Book and Standard Schedule of Rates (SSR) subsequently.
• c. The following standard schedule of Rates are hereby approved 
• i. Stay in Semiprivate ward Rs.1,200/- per day in non-NABH accredited hospitals and Rs.1,500/- per day in NABH accredited hospitals.
• ii. Stay in Private ward Rs.1,500/- per day in non-NABH accredited hospitals and Rs.2,000/- per day in NABH accredited hospitals.
