Note: The government
has fixed very nominal charges for the various investigations. For
poor patients
these charges can be waved off on the recommendations of the treating
doctor by the
Deputy Medical Superintendent/Medical Superintendent. For some costly
investigations like
CT scan and MRI, the provision for waiving off the charges directly
by the Medical Superintendent
is not kept. For poor and unattended patients, the charges for such
tests can only be
waived off once the Head of the Unit recommends that the patient
is poor or unattended, the
head of the department forwards it to the Principal, Govt. Medical
College Jammu and after
the permission from the Principal, the Medical Superintendent of
the hospital gets the free
investigation done for that patient.
