The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) is a comprehensive health insurance program initiated by the Government of India. Established to provide medical care to central government employees, pensioners, and their dependents, CGHS aims to ensure that beneficiaries have access to quality healthcare services.
Cashless Facility: CGHS offers a cashless treatment facility in empaneled private hospitals. Beneficiaries can receive treatment without worrying about upfront costs, as expenses are settled directly between the hospital and the scheme.
Comprehensive Coverage: The scheme covers a variety of medical services, including outpatient consultations, hospitalizations, surgeries, diagnostic tests, and even certain Ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments.
Preventive Health Services: CGHS emphasizes preventive healthcare through regular health check-ups.
