There is another good news for central employees. If they are taking advantage of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), they will also get a treatment in hospital outside the panel. In fact, the Supreme Court has said that the scope of treatment cannot be limited to central government employees and pensioners. This means that central employees and pensioners will also be able to get treatment in hospitals outside the CGHS panel.
A retired central government employee demanded payment of the medical bill but the government was refusing to give mediclaim as the pensioner underwent treatment outside the CGHS panel at the hospital. The Supreme Court said that in case of emergency, mediclaim should be provided for treatment in private hospitals outside the CGHS panel.
This decision of the Supreme Court will benefit the central government employees and pensioners because in case of serious illness treatment, many times the patient has to be treated in private hospitals outside the CGHS panel. This decision will provide relief to many other people who have been forced to get treatment outside the panel.
Let us know that the government has given the facility of free treatment to the central employees and their families in selected private hospitals. The number of central government employees and pensioners is around 1.1 crore. With this plan they have started getting good treatment.
What is the scheme
A central employee will have to get a CGHS card to take advantage of this scheme. With this, he can get free treatment in government hospitals. There will be a discount on fees for treatment in private hospitals.
