Raipur is the tertiary centre; Bilaspur serves the north of the state. Both carry heavy scheme volume relative to private pay.
Where hospitals here lose money
A viability question that has to be answered before admission, not discovered at settlement.
Every claim between a revision and the update is affected.

Check this week
Confirm which package list version your billing runs on today, and when it was last updated against the published list.
What does not change at the state border
Room-rent proportionate deduction, pre-authorisation notification clocks, tariff drift against contract, and package-with-component billing work identically in Chhattisgarh and everywhere else in India. They vary by contract, not by geography. What the state changes is the scheme layer sitting on top — which cases are viable, and what evidence the payer expects.
Worked through in detail: the nine ways an Indian payer reduces a claim, how scheme claims differ from private ones, and the ₹8,000 upgrade that costs ₹43,000.

Do the payer rules change between states?
The scheme layer does — package lists, empanelment and eligibility are state-specific. The mechanics underneath do not. Room-rent proportionate deduction, notification clocks and tariff drift work identically everywhere in India; they vary by contract, not by geography.
Is Drapto available across Chhattisgarh?
Yes, anywhere in the state. Deployment is remote and takes one to five weeks depending on size, with your payer tariffs loaded before go-live rather than after.
What does the free audit involve?
Twenty claims you have already settled. We show what was disallowed, how much was predictable, and how much the payer never explained. About an hour of your team's time, and you keep the findings whatever you decide.

What is not on this page. We do not publish hospital directories, rank hospitals, or list which facilities sit on any insurer’s or scheme’s panel. Empanelment is product-specific and changes constantly — a stale list published by a third party sends a family to a hospital believing they are covered when they are not.
