In addition to the packages decided under AB-PMJAY, performance-linked payment system has been designed to incentivize them to continuously improve quality and patient safety, based on successive milestones.
Hospitals qualifying for the certification will receive numerous benefits for the improvement of overall facilities offered by hospitals. Hospital qualifying for Silver certification will receive an additional 10% financial benefit, while those qualifying for Gold certification will receive an additional 15% financial benefit.
”NABH’s Entry-Level/ NQAS certified hospitals can apply for AB PM-JAY Silver quality certification and hospitals with NABH’s Full Accreditation/JCI accreditation can apply for AB PM-JAY Gold quality certification directly.
