I m a retired pensioner who has not availed CGHS facility, but I’ve just now been sanctioned Rs.1000.00 by way of fixed medical allowance instead of CGHS facility, but I’ve not yet drawn the allowance amount as on date since the sanction letter is received by me just few days ago.
Meanwhile a hospital with CGHS facility is opened just before 2 months ago at Raipur city, so I’d like to avail the CGHS facility at Raipur city now.
If I wish to avail CGHS facilitates at Raipur city instead of Fixed Medical Allowance, what will be the procedure
for the same. i.e. to surrender my fixed medical allowance and avail the CGHS facility
Kindly clarify.
Thanks in advance.
