How the scheme actually works here
Aarogyasri and Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva operate with defined surgical packages and a long-established empanelment network. The packages are surgical-heavy, which shapes which specialties can participate profitably.
The payer mix in Telangana & Andhra Pradesh
Hyderabad runs a large tertiary private sector with cardiac and orthopaedic volume. Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Warangal carry heavier scheme dependence.
Where hospitals here lose money
In cardiac and orthopaedic volume, the supplier invoice not being attached is the most preventable loss there is. A claim carrying an implant line and no invoice should not be submittable.
Aarogyasri packages are defined per procedure. Complications that extend theatre time or ICU stay are absorbed.
Endoscopy and minor ENT work routinely admitted for the clock rather than the list.
Check this week
Audit last quarter's implant claims for a matching supplier invoice on file. Every gap is a deduction the payer is entitled to make.
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 Telangana & Andhra Pradesh 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.

Questions from Telangana & Andhra Pradesh
Does Drapto work with Aarogyasri in Telangana & Andhra Pradesh?
Yes. Package rates are held per scheme, so a case can be checked for viability before admission rather than at billing. Aarogyasri and Dr.
What do hospitals in Telangana & Andhra Pradesh lose the most money to?
Implant and consumables billing. In cardiac and orthopaedic volume, the supplier invoice not being attached is the most preventable loss there is. A claim carrying an implant line and no invoice should not be submittable.
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 Telangana & Andhra Pradesh?
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.
