EMERGENCY TREATMENT IN CGHS HOSPITALS
CGHS Hospitals – Getting treatment in emergency
conditions
Under emergency
conditions, the empanelled hospitals are expected to provide treatment of CGHS
beneficiaries in all available specialties…
Private hospitals
have been empanelled under CGHS only for such specialties for which
they are eligible as per the terms and conditions of empanelment. However under
emergency conditions, the empanelled hospitals are expected to provide
treatment of CGHS beneficiaries in all available specialties.
“Emergency” shall
mean any condition or symptom resulting from any cause, arising suddenly and if
not treated at the earliest opportunity would be detrimental to the health of
the patient or shall jeopardize the life of the patient".
CGHS beneficiary attending hospital in emergency: In such a
situation the Hospital shall intimate to BCA within 2 hours of admission and
BCA shall respond in 4 hours (however treatment shall not be denied to any CGHS
member and this is only an initiation of the e-workflow). Post discharge
hospital would upload bills and download documents as per requirements of CGHS
within 72 hours.
TREATMENT IN EMERGENCY
In emergency the hospital shall not refuse admission or demand an
advance payment from the beneficiary or his family member and shall provide
credit facilities to the patient whether the patient is a serving employee or a
pensioner availing CGHS facilities, on production of a valid CGHS card and the
hospital shall submit the bill for reimbursement to the concerned Deptt. /
Ministry / CGHS. The refusal to provide the treatment to bonafide CGHS
beneficiaries in emergency cases without valid ground would attract
disqualification for continuation of empanelment.
