Provider Verification Programme

Physical verification of Jio's
provider network, at national scale.

Practo Assured proposes to verify Jio's 10,000+ empanelled and prospective providers on-site — against Jio's Provider Verification scope and the Practo Hospital Excellence Score.

Your Objective
The problem to solve

Eliminating three risks from the provider network.

Risk 1

Infrastructure misrepresentation

Every facility physically visited and its infrastructure confirmed against declarations — ending "paper empanelment."

Risk 2

Ghost consultants

Consultants and specialties verified on the ground, full-time versus visiting, to remove practitioners who are not genuinely present.

Risk 3

Sub-standard clinical quality

Infrastructure, safety and sterility assessed against a defined, uniform standard applied to every provider.

The three high-risk areas identified in Jio's Provider Verification scope.

Why Practo
Capability

An operational verification engine — not a build.

Practo already conducts on-site hospital audits at scale through the Hospital Excellence Score, led by qualified biomedical engineers. Jio gains a running programme, applied uniformly, from day one — not a capability that takes years to stand up.

Scope of Verification
What we verify

Premises, data and equipment — in a single visit.

Premises

Physical infrastructure

Facade & entrance, OPD, waiting & lobby, IPD wards, OT complex & labour room, pathology labs, radiology, CSSD, and emergency & critical care with central oxygen.

Data

Your Hospital Information Sheet

Registration, GST & ownership, bed-mix by category, certifications (NABH / JCI / NABL), diagnostics, clinical facilities and manpower — every field on your HIS.

Equipment

Confirmed & serial-recorded

Key devices confirmed present and operational, with serial numbers recorded — CT, MRI, cath lab, dialysis, ventilators.

Evidence Standard
How we prove it

Objective, geo-tagged and counter-signed.

Geo-tagged operation theatre
Operation theatre · geo-tagged, timestamped
Geo-tagged equipment
Surgical equipment · geo-tagged, timestamped
  • Geo-tagged photographs of every required area, location- and time-stamped.
  • Walkthrough video of the premises as specified.
  • Equipment serial numbers recorded for verification.
  • Counter-signature from the hospital authority on the inspection form.

Actual field evidence from a completed Practo audit. Facility identity withheld; location detail masked.

Clinical Talent
Verifying the people

Confirming the consultants, not only the premises.

Availability

Full-time vs visiting

Each specialty confirmed on-site, distinguishing full-time consultants from visiting consultants.

Registry

Consultant data verified

Associated consultant data collected and verified against the hospital's records.

Emergency

24×7 staffing model

The emergency medical staffing model confirmed for round-the-clock readiness.

Directly addresses the "ghost consultant" risk in Jio's scope.

The Output
Score & portal

An objective score, and the data behind it.

Every verification resolves into a score for each pillar and a single composite rating from 1 to 5, with all evidence delivered through an online portal.

National Coverage
Coverage & prioritisation

10,000+ providers, sequenced for impact.

Every provider on your list is mapped to State, City and Pin Code and sequenced by rank bucket, so the highest-priority facilities are verified first and progress is reported by geography.

Scope Boundaries
Out of scope

What the programme does not cover.

  • Empanelment and pre-authorisation decisions — Jio's prerogative; we provide data and scores.
  • Authenticity checks on financial or bank credentials — HIS financial fields collected as declared.
  • Claims audit, medical-records audit or clinical-outcome assessment.
  • Fraud investigation or legal action beyond documented findings.
  • Statutory approvals or licences on the provider's behalf.
  • Repeat visits due to provider non-cooperation beyond agreed attempts (chargeable).

Facility access and permission to photograph are arranged with the provider, within Jio's counter-signed protocol.

Delivery Timeline
Bottom-up plan

Built from a hiring ramp, not a headline promise.

Timelines are modelled from a weekly hiring ramp and realistic field productivity of 2.5 verifications per engineer per day, including travel, counter-signatures and re-visits.

Delivery planField teamWeekly run-rateCompletion
Recommended — steady rampRecommended~25 engineers~300 / weekMar 2027
Faster~40 engineers~500 / weekDec 2026
Fastest~60 engineers~750 / weekNov 2026

Jio's October 2026 target would require 70+ engineers mobilised almost immediately. We recommend the ~25-engineer plan for consistent, defensible evidence quality, with faster options available on request.

In summary

Your three requirements, answered.

  • Quotation (per unit) — ₹15,000 per provider; ₹5,000 per year maintenance; plus 18% GST.
  • Timeline — a bottom-up plan completing ~March 2027, with faster options available.
  • Manpower — senior biomedical-engineer-led field teams; sample profile enclosed.

Recommended next step: a paid pilot cohort of ~500 providers to validate the protocol, evidence quality and portal before national rollout.
