Nearly 700 accident victims have been registered under Karnataka’s cashless treatment scheme, but fewer than half have actually received the promised benefits, reports Deccan Herald.
The Karnataka government’s cashless treatment scheme for road accident victims has recorded registrations of close to 700 individuals, according to a recent Deccan Herald report. The scheme, intended to provide immediate medical care without out-of-pocket expenses, appears to be underutilised, with official data indicating that less than 50% of those enrolled have actually accessed the benefits.
Health officials attribute the low uptake to procedural bottlenecks and limited awareness among beneficiaries about the documentation required to claim treatment. The shortfall raises concerns about the scheme’s effectiveness in delivering timely care to those most in need.
The state health department has been urged to streamline the claim process and conduct outreach programs to ensure that registered accident victims can fully benefit from the cashless provision.
