Tariffs have been reduced from 4,500 to 2,200 rupees. (File)
Mumbai:
Maharashtra Minister of Health Rajesh Tope said on Saturday that the government had reduced the rate of COVID-19 tests performed by private laboratories from Rs 4,500 to Rs 2,200.
Speaking to PTI, Tope said lowering test rates would help people.
“Rs 2,200 will be charged for collecting swabs through hospital viral transport media (VTM), while it would cost Rs 2,800 to collect swabs at home. Earlier, the fees were respectively Rs 4,500 and Rs 5,200, “he said.
The revised rates are the maximum that these laboratories can charge. District collectors can negotiate with private labs to further reduce rates, said Tope.
“If the private labs charge more than the upper limit, legal action will be taken against them,” he said, saying the new rates will be the lowest in the country.
The minister said that at present there are 91 laboratories in the state for COVID-19 testing and about four to five are also in the pipeline.
He said the government formed a four-member committee last week to set rates for COVID-19 testing by state-licensed private laboratories.
State Health Assurance Society CEO Sudhakar Shinde chaired the committee, which included Deputy Director of the Medical Education and Research Branch Ajay Chandanwale and Professor Grant Government Medical College and Hospital, Amita Joshi, as members and the director of health services as member secretary.
The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has authorized 44 governments and 36 private state laboratories to conduct coronavirus tests.
While testing is free in government-run laboratories, the ICMR had fixed costs in private laboratories at Rs 4,500.
The committee was formed as the ICMR had indicated to negotiate with private laboratories and review the rates. The kits necessary for carrying out the tests were imported earlier when the costs of the tests in the private laboratories were fixed by the ICMR.
However, as the kits are manufactured in the country itself, the ICMR had convened interviews with private laboratories and the setting of test rates.
