While replying to a question in Parliament today, Minster of
Health & Family Welfare Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda said that to ensure that
the terms and conditions of the Memorandum of Agreement are followed
scrupulously by the empanelled hospitals, a monitoring cell under the aegis of
a senior officer of CGHS has been established to check irregularities including
exploitation of patients”,
Treatment by CGHS empanelled hospitals in emergency cases
Recently, the Government has amended the terms and
conditions for empanelment of private hospital under the Central Government
Health Scheme (CGHS). Now, the hospitals are empanelled as a whole, meaning
that all facilities available in the hospital would be provided to CGHS
beneficiaries. Disease – specific empanelment has now been stopped.
To ensure that the terms and conditions of the Memorandum of
Agreement are followed scrupulously by the empanelled hospitals, a monitoring
cell under the aegis of a senior officer of CGHS has been established to check
irregularities including exploitation of patients. There are provisions in the
MoA including issue of Show Cause Notice, issue of warning, recovery of amount
charged illegally from the beneficiaries, also confiscation of part or whole of
PBG (Performance Bank Guarantee), and ultimately removal from the CGHS list,
that can be resorted to in appropriate cases
