Consumption-based billing needs a reconciled statement in the notice; hospitals run by trusts or companies are then pursued by notice, Samadhaan for Udyam suppliers, and summary suits. Government hospitals fall under the MSMED Act like any department.
Hospital, diagnostics and medical suppliers in Kochi
Kochi’s seafood exporters, spice traders in Mattancherry and shipping agents around the port deal with both domestic and overseas buyers, and dues from hotels and resorts rise and fall with the season. Kerala’s Facilitation Council handles MSME claims, and the Ernakulam courts are experienced with Section 138 matters from the trading community.
60 to 180 day terms, consignment stock, and payment tied to insurance and scheme reimbursements the hospital is waiting for.
Proof to collect
Typically rate contracts, consignment records and consumption reports, GRNs, invoices and the hospital’s acknowledgements.
- Avoid: consignment stock with no signed consumption records
- Avoid: implants used without a PO
- Avoid: billing the hospital brand instead of the legal owner
