NABH Fee Architecture & Governance Insights

Clear, auditable answers regarding how official board fees, Adequs professional consulting, and transition rules operate.

Why are NABH Official Fees kept separate from Adequs Consulting?

NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) is a constituent board of the Quality Council of India (QCI). Official fees (Application, Annual, Assessment) are prescribed by NABH and payable directly to the board. Adequs provides independent clinical QMS implementation, documentation, and mock audit advisory. We never mark up or bundle official board charges.

What is the 30 September 2026 Entry-Level Discount?

NABH announced restructured Entry-Level Certification fee slabs with an effective concession valid until 30 September 2026. For example, 21–50 bed hospitals currently pay a discounted official fee of ₹48,000 (standard ₹80,000). Our calculator dynamically reflects these published reductions.

What is the rule for hospitals above 300 beds?

NABH has stated that Entry-Level certification for hospitals above 300 beds is not available after 1 October 2026 subject to its stated transition rules. Facilities with >300 beds are advised to pursue Full Hospital Accreditation directly. Our calculator automatically generates an eligibility notice if >300 beds is selected under Entry-Level.

What is included in Adequs Healthcare Consulting?

Adequs consulting includes gap analysis, complete departmental SOP drafting, statutory license verification (Fire NOC, AERB, Bio-Medical Waste), committee formation, hospital-wide staff quality training, clinical indicator tracking, pre-assessment mock audits, and full support through assessor non-conformance (NC) closure.
