KATHMANDU: Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Maharajgunj will resume outpatient department (OPD) services under the government’s health insurance program from today.
According to a notice issued by the hospital’s Health Insurance Branch, OPD services under the Nepal Government’s Health Insurance Program will restart from today.
The hospital has also announced the schedule for the distribution of health insurance OPD tickets. Tickets will be available at the insurance counter from 7:00 am to 11:00 am and again from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.
TUTH suspended health insurance services on January 22 after the Health Insurance Board failed to reimburse pending insurance claims for an extended period.
The suspension lasted for about five and a half months, during which the hospital said its financial condition deteriorated due to millions of rupees in outstanding reimbursements.
The hospital decided to resume the service after the Health Insurance Board recently cleared the pending dues.
