JIPMER Puducherry
Memorandum of Agreement
signed between Central Government Health Scheme(CGHS) and Three Institutes of
National Importance (INI)
CGHS beneficiaries will have direct access to state-of-the-art treatment
facilities available in these medical institutions, without the hassle of
making upfront payments and seeking reimbursements from CGHS

of the patients: Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary
Posted On: 27 JUN 2023 6:52PM by PIB Delhi
Through a significant
and people centric move, cashless treatment facilities will now be available to
CGHS beneficiaries (both serving and pensioners) at AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER
Chandigarh, and JIPMER Puducherry. The Memorandum of Agreement to this effect was
signed between the three medical institutions- AIIMS, New Delhi, PGIMER,
Chandigarh, and JIPMER, Puducherry, and CGHS, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, in the presence of Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary, here
today.
This initiative builds
upon the six previously signed MoAs on May 20, 2023, between CGHS and various
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) located in Bhopal, Bhubaneswar,
Patna, Jodhpur, Raipur, and Rishikesh
“The extension of patient care facilities at
AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, and JIPMER Puducherry to CGHS beneficiaries
on a cashless basis will be particularly beneficial for pensioner beneficiaries
of CGHS. It eliminates the need for them to submit individual reimbursement
claims and follow up for approvals. With this new initiative, CGHS
beneficiaries will have direct access to state-of-the-art treatment facilities
available in these medical institutions, without the hassle of making upfront
payments and seeking reimbursements from CGHS. This streamlined process will
save time, reduce paperwork, and expedite the settlement of individual claims.
Previously, CGHS pensioner beneficiaries availing treatment at these
institutions were required to make payments upfront and claim reimbursement later
from CGHS.” This was stated by Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary, Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare at the signing of the MoA today.
The Union Health
Secretary appreciated this development highlighting that CGHS is a significant
service-oriented vertical of the Health Ministry through which existing and
retired employees can avail medical services. He further stated, “The
government aims to expand the number of hospitals empaneled under CGHS to
provide excellent tertiary care facilities aligned with the rising requirements
of the patients.”
Shri Bhushan further
emphasized that this agreement will benefit a large segment of the population
by simplifying lengthy formalities and expediting access to medical care. He
also noted that this agreement will help expand the reach of CGHS services
across the nation, allowing beneficiaries to avail CGHS facilities at the INIs
institutions in their respective states. Additionally, CGHS has revised certain
rates of treatment and medical care, further facilitating access to treatment
facilities for patients.
The sailent features
of this initiative are as under:
- Cashless
treatment will be available in outpatient departments (OPD),
investigations, and indoor treatment for CGHS pensioners and other
eligible categories of beneficiaries.
- The
three institutions will raise credit bills for CGHS pensioners and other
eligible beneficiaries, and CGHS will preferably make payment within 30
days of receiving the bills.
- CGHS
beneficiaries will be admitted only upon the production of a valid CGHS
Beneficiary ID Card for treatment at these institutions.
- Separate
Help Desks and accounting systems will be created for CGHS beneficiaries
at AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, and JIPMER Puducherry.
- Medicines
prescribed by the doctors at these institutions, whether for OPD treatment
or at the time of discharge, will be collected by beneficiaries through
CGHS.
- CGHS
beneficiaries will no longer require referrals to access healthcare
facilities at these institutions.
The
MoA signing ceremony was attended by Officer on Special Duty, Minister of
Health and Family Welfare, Shri Sudhansh Pant, Additional Secretary, Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare, and Smt. V. Hekali Zhimoni, among other senior
government officials. Directors of AIIMS New Delhi, Dr. M Srinivas, Medical
superintendent, PGIMER Chandigarh, Dr. Vipin Kaushal, and Director, JIPMER
Puducherry, Dr. Rakesh Agrawal were also present at the MOA signing event.

Dated the 15th June, 2023
To,
The Chief Secretaries of all
the States / UTs,
Subject: Clarification under Rule
3(2) of AIS (D&A) Rules, 1969 – reg.
Sir/Madam,
I am directed to refer to Rule 3(2)
of AIS (D&A) Rules, 1969 and to say that this Department has been receiving
a number of queries regarding the issue of deemed suspension and the
requirement of confirmation of suspension by the Central Government.
2. In this
context, reference is invited to Rule 3(2) of AIS (D&A) Rules, 1969, which
provides that ” a member of the Service who is detained in official
custody whether on a criminal charge or otherwise for a period longer than
forty-eight hours, shall be deemed to have been suspended by the Government
concerned under this rule”
3. The matter
has been examined in light of 3(2) of AIS(D&A) Rules, 1969, Accordingly, it
is clarified that in the cases of deemed suspension under Rule 3(2), the
confirmation of suspension by Central Government is not required for the period
that the Government Servant remains in detention/custody.
The question of confirmation of
suspension would arise only when, after release from detention/custody, the
Government intends to continue with suspension. In this event, if period of
suspension exceeds 30 days, the confirmation of suspension order by Central
Government as envisaged under Rule 3(1) will be required within 30 days from
the date of release or the date on which the fact of his release comes to the
knowledge of the Government.
4. The aforesaid
clarification may kindly be brought to the notice of all officials /
authorities concerned for necessary action.
5. This issues
with the approval of Competent Authority.
Yours faithfully,
(Ram
Lakhan)
