How the scheme actually works here
PMJAY-MA gives Gujarat a broad beneficiary base with state-administered package rates. Empanelled hospitals typically carry substantial scheme volume alongside a strong private-pay segment.
The payer mix in Gujarat
Ahmedabad and Vadodara run large tertiary private sectors. Surat carries unusual corporate cover density from the textile and diamond trades, with policies that behave differently from standard group cover.
Where hospitals here lose money
Large tertiary volume means dozens of advices a month. Reconciling by hand is too expensive, so the unexplained portion never surfaces.
Surat's employer policies often carry non-standard caps. Treating them as ordinary group cover produces surprises at settlement.
Vadodara units commonly carry four or more payer contracts. Each revision that does not reach the rate card is a silent deduction.
Check this week
Take last month's settlement advices and split each shortfall into predicted and unexplained. The unexplained total is usually far smaller than expected, and it is the only part worth querying.
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 Gujarat 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.

Questions from Gujarat
Does Drapto work with PMJAY-MA in Gujarat?
Yes. Package rates are held per scheme, so a case can be checked for viability before admission rather than at billing. PMJAY-MA gives Gujarat a broad beneficiary base with state-administered package rates.
What do hospitals in Gujarat lose the most money to?
Hand reconciliation of settlement advices. Large tertiary volume means dozens of advices a month. Reconciling by hand is too expensive, so the unexplained portion never surfaces.
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 Gujarat?
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.

Tariffs are held per payer and per contract in Drapto, so a claim is never priced under the wrong one.
