On Thursday, Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha brought attention to an alleged system of kickbacks between medical practitioners and diagnostic centers. He pointed out that referral commissions have evolved into a secondary economy that is driving up healthcare costs for the public. Chadha explained that these payments, which labs categorize as marketing costs, cause patient bills to rise by 15% to 20%. He called on the government to intervene and curb the practice of prescribing redundant medical tests.
