District magistrate Alok Tiwari, on Tuesday, ordered to file an FIR against the hospital when its management failed to give a satisfactory reply.
According to the district magistrate, the administration has appointed static magistrates and sector magistrates to check overbilling issues in private panel hospitals.
Moreover, the administration had already floated mobile numbers for the public to lodge any complaint of overbilling.
Despite warning of strict action for overbilling, the private panel hospitals are not missing any chance to overcharge patients.
