No. S.11011/29/2019-EHS
Government of India

Dated: the 13th September, 2019
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Emergency treatment in CGHS empaneled Hospitals.
The extant instructions under CGHS provide that under emergency conditions, a CGHS beneficiary can get admission in any CGHS empaneled Hospital without any prior permission. It has, however, been brought to the notice that the Hospitals deny admission or insist on referral memo from CGHS Wellness Centre even in emergency conditions.
2. In accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the CGHS empaneled Hospital and the Government of India, refusal to provide treatment to bonafide CGHS beneficiaries in emergency cases and other eligible categories of beneficiaries on credit basis, without valid ground, would attract disqualification for continuation of empanelment.
3. It is, therefore, reiterated that in emergency the empaneled hospitals will not refuse admission or demand an advance payment from the CGHS beneficiary or his family member and will provide credit facilities to the patient.
