Jamshedpur: Tata Main Hospital (TMH) is encouraging patients and their families to make greater use of its digital payment facility to simplify hospital transactions, reduce waiting time and ensure a more convenient healthcare experience.
The facility allows patients to pay for OPD consultations, diagnostic tests, investigations and hospital bills directly through their mobile phones, without having to visit billing counters. Payments can be made using UPI, debit cards, credit cards and net banking.
According to the hospital, many patients are still unaware of this facility, which enables them to complete payments through the TMH digital platform in just a few steps and proceed directly to the required medical services.
For OPD patients, digital payments can help avoid long queues at billing counters and provide quicker access to consultations and investigations. Patients requiring diagnostic tests can also make payments immediately after receiving a doctor’s prescription, without having to return to the billing counter.
The facility is particularly useful for admitted patients and their attendants. Hospital bills can be settled digitally from the ward, making the discharge process more convenient and reducing the need to visit multiple counters.
Other benefits include secure transactions, instant payment confirmation, reduced crowding at billing counters and less time spent on administrative formalities. The hospital believes wider adoption of digital payments will help create a smoother and more patient-friendly environment.
TMH continues to promote technology-enabled services aimed at improving patient convenience and healthcare accessibility. Patients and their families are encouraged to use the digital payment facility to make hospital transactions simpler, faster and more comfortable.
The hospital’s message to patients is clear: healthcare should not be delayed by billing queues, and digital payments can help make the hospital experience more seamless.
