Comments on Central Government Health Scheme

CGHS / ESI are the benefits given the govt. I sincerely feel all these facilities are not really giving help to the patients, the long hours of waiting fro the doctors, to collect reports is very hectic. Its not like the work is completed within 1-2 hrs, its a day long process. The way the staff treat as if the patients are beggers. How can a patient alone can go from room to room, floor to floor in search of the doctor, its so indefinite that the doctors will be coming and no information is given. People working in private sector will not get leave if they have to wait for days together its difficult. The plight of the patients is very sad and pathetic. Anyway nothing will happen as long as these corrupted politicians are there but still I wanted to share my views. MY HUMBLE REQUEST IS PLEASE GIVE MERCY KILLING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING at they will die peacefully.

I am retd GOI officer.Card No. P1882 issued from Lucknow.I was in Mumbai with my son when I fell down on 04nov 12 and brocken FEMUR bone in two parts. Got treatment from Breach Candy Hospital which is nearest to me. Submitted the claim on cghs Lucknow on 4 dec 2012 via regd AD post.Thereafter sent many reminders by email/by post but claim has not been till date.I am not provided with details of my Claim number and date inspite of my repeated requests.Please send address/email of appealate authority.

CGHS has now decided my complaint regarding deletion of my dependent daughter's as she is recipient of scholarship of Rs.27,000/- per month. This was simply wrong doing of Dr R K Asthana, Ex Additional Director, CGHS, Lucknow. Now CGHS admits that scholarship irrespective of amount is not an income, its meant to cover study expenses only. My daughter's name is now re-included in my CGHS Card No. 6408.

Till now MOHFW/CGHS authorities has not clarified regarding loss of 'dependent'status of my wholly dependent daughter in receipt of scholarship for studying in France. Further set back is submission of feedback with option for 'Yes' in reply expected, it fails submission with Message: Submission Failed Following Supply of Invalid Data. For 'No' option in reply expected it is submitted with acknowledgement as "Thank you for providing Feedback...." I trust NIC will correct this snag.

Complaints and grievances seems to be of no concern to CGHS authorities.My grievance against Dr R K Asthana for not allowing medicines for six months as eligible for CGHS beneficiary visiting foreign country and deleting name as CGHS beneficiary from my card No.6408 at Dispensary no.2, Lucknow. My daughter's name is deleted as she gets scholarship for studying at France. Scholarship is not an income explicitly defined in Income Tax Rule. The CGHS authorities; Honorable Secy and D.G.,Director,Addl Dy Director General, HQ,Joint Director Grievance and Additional Director are tight lipped in spite of my repeated requests. I suppose I have to lodge online registered complaint through DARPG for this trivial issue.My query requires a line to suffice that my daughter is eligible for dependency or not.

I am a retired central government servant, in CGHS card beneficiaries are 1- self,2-wife and 3-Dependent daughter. My daughter is studying in France under exchange program. She gets scholarship. As per CGHS norm she is entitled to get medicines for six months in one go. Additional Director Dr R K Asthana has not allowed the due prescribed medicines and has also deleted her name as beneficiary. Scholarship is not an income still loss of her dependency status best known to CGHS authorities. They are tight lipped about this in spite of many requests.

The charges towards treatment will be as per new CGHS-2011 Pune and AIMS,. New Delhi and further amendment from time to time if any. In this regard I want to know what are the Fees to be charged for the pathology investigations done in a private Pathology laboratory?
