The empanelment guidelines ensure BSKY beneficiaries have consistent access to quality healthcare services that adhere to established care standards. These guidelines also promote accountability and transparency among EHCPs by establishing clear contractual obligations, performance standards, and monitoring mechanisms. This focus on transparency is vital for maintaining high healthcare delivery standards, enhancing public trust, and minimizing the potential for corruption within the system. 

These guidelines have been designed to provide a comprehensive framework for the State Health Assurance Society (SHAS), the administrative entity overseeing the BSKY scheme. The primary aim is to guide SHAS in effectively Empanelling healthcare providers and establishing robust procedures for the ongoing oversight of these providers. The guidelines delineate performance standards and monitoring mechanisms to ensure consistent quality of care, patient safety, and effective healthcare delivery. It also includes the procedures for disciplinary actions and, if necessary, the de-empanelment of providers. Such measures are imperative for maintaining the integrity and quality of the healthcare services offered under the BSKY scheme
