Imphal, August 12: The Association of Healthcare Providers of India (AHPI), Manipur Chapter, has announced the resumption of cashless treatment for PMJAY cardholders with immediate effect following an assurance from the Manipur Government.

AHPI had earlier, on August 5, suspended cashless PMJAY services citing financial distress due to delayed reimbursements. With the government’s commitment to clear the dues at the earliest, the association has decided to withdraw the suspension and continue providing cashless services to beneficiaries as before.
AHPI reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the government to uphold patient welfare and maintain high standards of healthcare in Manipur.
