Subject:- Extension of CGHS facilities to retired BSNL
employees.
Sir,
Reference is invited to BSNL’s letter
Nos.BSNL/Admn-I/14-15/9(pt.) dated 09.04.2012 and dated 11.1.2013 regarding
extension of CGHS facilities to retired BSNL employees. The matter has been
examined in consultation with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and
it has been decided that :-
i) The retired employees, who are in receipt of Central Civil
Pension/Pro-rata pension only from Central Civil Estimates are eligible for
joining CGHS, other retired employees of BSNL are not eligible for CGHS.
ii) Since CGHS is in operation only at 25 select locations in
the country, the retired employees of BSNL who are in receipt of Central Civil
Pension and therefore eligible for CGHS facilities, may also be considered for
providing with an option to choose either CGHS or BSNL-MRS post retirement as
per their convenience, in recognition of their services rendered to DoT / BSNL.
2. However, it may be noted that the retired BSNL employees who
opt for CGHS would have to pay the requisite fee to CGHS as applicable to
Government retirees.
3. This issues with the approval of Secretary (T).
Yours faithfully

CGHS – Cashless Medical Treatment to continue – Health Ministry’s Clarification

Press Note
There have been reports in the Media that
private hospitals on the panel of CGHS are denying credit facilities
to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries for delay in settlement of hospitals bills.
Lower package rates and inadmissible deductions etc. have also been reported to
be the other reasons for withdrawal of agreed cashless /credit facilities.
In this regard, the
CGHS beneficiaries are advised not to be guided by such misleading
information. Delay in payments in the last quarter of the financial year due to
budgetary constraints is not a new phenomenon and the hospitals are aware of it. Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare has taken special steps and the pendency is
likely to be cleared within a week.
CGHS has already invited bids for revision
of package rates through a transparent tender process. The last date
for submission of bids is 10th March, 2014. Measures have also been taken to
streamline the payment related issues in the ensuing empanelment process.
The Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare will ensure that the CGHS empanelled private
hospitals continue to extend cashless /credit facilities to the
eligible CGHS beneficiaries in compliance with the terms and
conditions as laid down in the Memorandum of Agreement signed by them with
CGHS. As per the information received by the Ministry, most of
the private hospitals are continuing to extend the cashless
facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries.
