<h1>928 Hospitals Join Preferred Provider Network for Cashless Healthcare Services Across Major Indian Cities.</h1> 928 hospitals have joined the Preferred Provider Network (PPN) to offer cashless healthcare services, an initiative launched by four Public Sector General Insurance Companies in July 2010. The PPN aims to provide affordable healthcare and optimize insurance benefits by standardizing hospital empanelment and procedure rates. Initially implemented in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore, the network expanded to Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, and Kolkata. The expansion followed successful negotiations with hospitals that initially hesitated to join. The initiative's growth was reported by the Minister of State for Finance in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
