Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has reviewed the issue of outstanding CGHS dues of around Rs 1,400 crore and ordered officials to clear those within a month, official sources said.
According to officials, there are complaints of over 11 lakh bills pending for the last few months, forcing many empanelled hospitals to discontinue cashless treatment of Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries.
At the three-hour-long review meeting on Monday, Mandaviya ordered the health secretary, the CGHS director and the CEO of the National Health Authority to present a detailed report on the matter and the solutions to it, a source said.

Great news, comrade. Our sincere efforts are bearing fruit. Out 11 lakh bills pending, 9 lakh are going to be cleared within 15 days and the rest in the next 15 days. What an achievement! Our letter No. BPS/SG/CGHS/022/09 dated 25-06-2022 played the trick for which our letter to you turned to be instrumental. We are really overwhelmed with joy, dear comrade. I repeat what I said yesterday. You are the true leader! Pledging our support on all your efforts to lead the BPS to new heights 👏👏👏👏
