    What is you take on this?

    1. Such a scheme does not exist at the moment.

    This finds you well, I once took my child to a hospital at night and could not secure certain services due to limit exhaustion. on inquiry, I was informed later that job N and above do not actually depend on limit. The same trend repeated itself recently. What is the official position on this matter?

    it is very important to open the super cover for the self employed even if they have to pay more. currently the hospitals available for self employed lack very many facilities. those who can pay a bit more and be able to access additional and better facilities should be allowed urgently

    In patient cases are addressed well for one can be attended in any registered facility. Do the same for outpatient instead of one applying where he or she can be attended. It is easy and no losses can be incurred because the information is captured and transmitted immediately.

  8. How can get payment paid by employer
