Notice Issued to Sree Diagnostics Over High Lab Test Prices
A diagnostic centre is a place where people go for medical tests like blood tests.
Some people complained that a diagnostic centre in Wanaparthy town was charging too much money for these tests.
Officials decided to check if the complaint was true.
They sent a team to visit the centre.
The team looked at the prices the centre said it would charge when it registered.
They also looked at the prices the centre was charging now.
They found differences between the old and new prices.
So the officials sent a formal notice to the centre.
The notice asks the centre to explain why its prices changed.
The centre also has to show its old and new price lists and records.
This helps make sure patients are charged fairly.
Sree Diagnostics in Wanaparthy was inspected after a complaint alleged it charged high prices for laboratory tests.
The inspection was ordered by the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO), Wanaparthy.
Officials compared test prices disclosed at registration with the prices currently being charged.
A notice was issued to the centre seeking an explanation for the differences in test prices.
The management must submit price details, reasons for changes, amounts collected per test, and relevant records.
