GIPSA, a group of 4 PSU general insurance companies, decided to standardise rates for around 42 medical procedures across various categories of over 4000 hospitals for settling cashless claims but is looting and cheating patient by GOOF-up with hospital and TPA. GIPSA in package is almost 4 times the rate that any patient can do a procedure under cash payment in same hospital or ends up paying 3 times than when patient is insured with pvt. insurer company. Thus it seems that GIPSA is to promote PVt. company business which was earleir negligible but now has already reach to 50% market share after GIPSA came into effect on July 2010. There is no GIPSA website. GIPSA common monopoly rates for 4 PSU is against the original policy because of which it was necessary to create 4 PSU for competition.

Following information is available on below link, that GIPSA has not been registered under any act or rule with any statutory authority.
The association gets lakshs of rupees from the members,that is Govt bodies.
The association states that it is a voluntary association and coordinating body on behalf of its members.
The association has no website nor it accepts communcation by post from a citizen of India.
Is such association lawful merely because some govt of india bodies are its members?
The act of members paying such association lakhs of rupees from public money lawful? If u feel above issues need some more information to establish this associations is nothing but a big fraud on public money and to steal public by manipulating exorbitant medical charges, than please file some more RTI and also please share the information.
