Comrade,
As discussed with you at Bangalore I am bringing to your kind knowledge the present status of procudure for admission of CGHS benificaries to CGHS recongonised hospitals for needful action at your end.

Before the issue of recent guidlines issued by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare on 11th June 2010. The beneficiaries were required to go to State Govt. hospitals or in some cases they were directly refered by CMO of wellness clinic to private recog. hospitals

Now with the issuance of this order has done away cumbersome procedure of waiting in state govt hospital queue., how ever now they are supposed to go to polyclinic for referal they have to spend a few days at polyclinic for specialist advise for getting referal for hospitilsation.
Hence there needs an improvement to the order.

a) The Chief Medical Officer incharge of wellness clinic should be authorised to refer beneficiaries to private hospitals.

b) first para needs a modification as CGHS Polyclinic/CGHS doctor who has a specialised PG Degree that will solve most of the difficulties faced by the beneficiaries who are regularly visiting CGHS

c) To be more liberal in giving medicines received from GMSD [remember, now a days GMSD supplies only the best brands and not local manufacturers] and those 272 items being directly procured from top companies like cipla, ranbaxy etc

Comradely yours

(P.S.Prasad)
General Secretary

With yesterdays news in leading papers "no cashless facility for Insurance" CGHS appears to be the best option for central government employees & Pensioners. There is lot of scope for improvement of the scheme and better facilities. A serious discussion among beneficiaries should go on. COC must make efforts to form beneficiaries Association each dispensary wise who will have a say in the regular affairs of the dispensary and ensure better services to the consumers.

Liberalization in referral system ofcourse is one solution, but efforts should be for a centralized fund with AD,CGHS who will be able to pay to all hospitals so that even serving employees can have cashless facilities.
