In Madhya Pradesh, the Ayushman scheme will be boycotted from October 8th due to a decision by the Private Doctors Association regarding outstanding dues. They have announced that they will march to Delhi with 1000 ambulances.

Private hospitals in Madhya Pradesh will indefinitely boycott the Ayushman scheme starting October 8th. This means patients will not be treated under the Ayushman scheme here. They also demanded that the requirement of an NBHS certificate be removed immediately. The government has decided that eligibility for treatment at a hospital will only be based on receiving an NBHS certificate. Most hospitals in Bhopal owe an average of ₹15 to 20 million rupees to the Ayushman scheme.
