Price Commission Sets Doctor and Hospital Limits
The Price Commission issued guidelines capping annual fee increases for doctors at 2.5 percent and hospital charges at 6 percent. Doctors average fees may rise up to 2.5 percent with possible exceptions, while hospitals may raise 2.5 percent without notice and higher with IRS and state board approval. The rules require posted base prices and IRS scrutiny, aiming to curb medical cost inflation. The move follows broader efforts to regulate costs across the economy and includes divisions for institutional and non institutional providers. The AMA said it would review the guidelines.
