OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Guidelines
to be followed by Ministries/Departments while referring cases to Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare on CGHS matters — reg.
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) was introduced in 1954
to provide comprehensive medical care for serving/retired Central Government
employees and their family members. Instructions have been issued from time
to time to regulate this medical facility to ensure that Ministries and
Departments of Government of India including the CGHS beneficiaries have a
clear idea on different aspects of CGHS.
2. Various instructions on eligibility, dependency, CGHS
contributions, issue of CGHS cards, medical advance, settlement of medical
claims and medical facilities provided under CGHS have been issued. These
instructions are by no means exhaustive but an effort has been made to ensure
that most cases are settled at the beneficiary’s own Ministry / Department.
3.
Despite issuing a number of guidelines on settlement of reimbursement claims
and delegation of powers for referral and approval cases, it has been observed
that cases are being referred to this Ministry in a routine manner without
adequate examination. Instances of cases have come to notice where despite
the lack of documentary evidence, cases have been recommended and referred to
this Ministry for examination, with or without the approval of the concerned
Joint Secretary/Head of Department.
4. In
such cases, it becomes difficult to examine the legitimacy of the claims and
much time and effort is spent in collating and verifying the facts of the
case. Accordingly, it is impressed upon all the Ministries/Departments
of the Government of India to ensure that cases are examined thoroughly as
per the CGHS guidelines and instructions. If any clarification on CGHS policy
matter/relaxation of rules is required, the Administrative Ministry /
Department may, if they are satisfied with the justification/merit of the
case, refer it to this Ministry with the specific recommendation of the
concerned Joint Secretary /Head of Department along with all supporting documents.
5. This
issues with the approval of Additional Secretary & Director General
(CGHS).
