 HANDBOOK OF CGHS    COMPILED BY  CHANDRA KANT BAPAT  EC MEMBER CGHS BENEFICIARY WELFARE ASSOCIATION. |

PREFACE
The book has been compiled keeping in mind the difficulties faced by the members of CGHS specially the pensioners in getting information about CGHS . Many members do not know about facilities available at CGHS and its functioning. The difficulties are specially faced in matters of getting medicines, referral procedure, investigation and treatment procedures, treatment in case of emergency, list of empanelled hospital and most important reimbursement of medical claims .How to present their grievances and to whom is also a problem.
All the information about CGHS is available on site https://cghs.gov.in/index.php and https://cghs.nic.in/ and other related links. However many senior citizen are not aware of use of computers and specially online work like login , OTP, password etc. Though most of them now know use of Smartphone but find it difficult to operate due to small fonts and vision problem and use is limited to Whats App Group or Facebook .
To overcome this problem I felt necessity of getting information about CGHS in the form of HANDBOOK which can be accessed by all the CGHS members’ offline and in readable fonts. This handbook can be downloaded on their Laptop, Mobile and saved in documents for reading any time without any Network . If one wants, Printout can be taken and bound in a book form for reading even for those who cannot operate smartphone. The Handbook can be used as ready reckoner in meeting with authorities to show what is the rule given on CGHS website.
To keep the authenticity I have used cut and paste method and not inserted any words of my own. It is just a compilation of authentic information.
We have a group in the name of CGHS BENEFICIARY WELFARE ASSOCIATION on FACEBOOK. All CGHS members are requested to become members of this association which is having strength of more than 5000 members. The association gives authentic information and helps the members to get their problems resolved by taking up the matter with concerned authorities.
I hope the Handbook will be useful to the members . Any suggestions and additional information to include are welcome.
Please do write your comments to me on my mail id .

It is an accepted fact in general CGHS is boon to all central Govt employees and pensioners in particular and even better than health insurance as it is cashless. However it has been observed that members face several problems specially at old age . The major problems are
1 Getting proper treatment and facilities from CGHS empanelled hospitals and some wellness centres.
2. Many cities do not have CGHS dispensary and /or enough empanelled hospital.
3 Patients have to make several trips to wellness centre to get referral for specialists treatment and intended medicines making it time consuming and extra financial expenditure on transport.
4. Reimbursement claims for treatment taken in emergency from private hospitals not empanelled are not made timely and unnecessary deductions are made from the claimed amount .
5. Wellness centre do not issue medicines prescribed by specialists .
A group has been formed in the name of CGHS BENEFICIARY WELFARE ASSOCIATION on Facebook.
