Cashless treatment facilities will now be available to all Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries (serving and pensioners) in six All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) located at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Jodhpur, Raipur and Rishikesh.
This decision was taken May 20, as Memorandum of Agreement were signed between these six AIIMS and CGHS, Union Health Ministry.
According to a release issued by the Health Ministry the facility will be particularly beneficial for the senior citizens (retired pensioner beneficiaries of CGHS) who find it difficult to submit individual reimbursement claims and follow up approvals.
