CENTRAL GOVERNMENT CONTEMPLATES TO INTRODUCE NEW HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME...

Central Government contemplates to introduce new Health Insurance Scheme for the serving employees and pensioners in non CGHS areas...

The Central Government has once again declared, the New Health Insurance Scheme for Central Government employees and Pensioners is on consideration to extend on non CGHS cities.

Now, the serving Central Government employees in non CGHS places are provided medical facilities under CS(MA) Rules, 1944. Pensioners are not covered under these Rules. They are getting very little amount of Rs.300 per month as Fixed Medical Allowance in lieu of medical facility. Whereas the pensioners residing in non CGHS areas have the option to become a CGHS member in any CGHS covered city of their choice to avail the medical facilities under the scheme.
