Private hospitals and clinics in Maharashtra must now prominently display their treatment charges.

The public health department issued the Government Resolution on Friday to curb overcharging.

Rate lists must be shown in both Marathi and English in clearly visible places.

They cover services listed under Schedule III of the state’s 2021 nursing home rules.

Lists must be updated immediately whenever charges change, and staff must guide patients to them.

Hospitals treating medical or Ayush visa patients must display their special package rates.

Authorities will take administrative and legal action against hospitals that fail to comply.
