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 specialities.
Private hospitals have been empanelled under CGHS only for
such specialities 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 specialities.
“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.
