IT IS A BIG BLOW TO THE 50 LAKH SERVING CENTRAL GOVT.
EMPLOYEES AND 30 LAKH PENSIONERS. THE CENTRAL GOVT.HEALTH SERVICES HAS ANNOUNCED WITHDRAWAL OF CASHLESS MEDICAL FACILITIES IN EMPANELLED PRIVATE HOSPITALS FROM MARCH 7,2014.
WHEN THE ELIGIBLE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ADDED,THE NUMBER
OF AFFECTED PERSONS COULD WELL BE OVER TWO CRORE.
THE DECISION IS IN THE WAKE OF REFUSAL OF THE PRIVATE
EMPANELLED HOSPITALS FOR TREATMENT AS CGHS OWES RS.200
CROR TO THEM.
WE DEMAND THAT THE SCHEME BE RESTORED BY DISCUSSING AND SETTLING THE MATTER WITH THE EMPANELLED HOSPITALS.
