Special registration counter for CGHS beneficiaries opened at AIIMS Bhubaneswar

AIIMS Bhubaneswar executive director Ashutosh Biswas on Sunday inaugurated a special registration counter at OPD foyer in the hospital to make cashless treatment facilities hassle-free for all Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries.
Official sources said senior citizens (retired pensioner beneficiaries of CGHS), will be benefitted.
Through this special facility, CGHS pensioners and other entitled categories of CGHS beneficiaries will have the advantage of accessing treatment facilities at the AIIMS Bhubaneswar without the hassle of first making payments and then seeking reimbursements from CGHS.
Till now, CGHS pensioner beneficiaries, availing treatment at AIIMS, are required to first make payment and claim reimbursement later from CGHS. The pensioners and other entitled categories of CGHS beneficiaries will be eligible for cashless treatment in OPD, investigations and indoor treatment at AIIMS.
Admission of the CGHS beneficiary shall be made only against production of valid CGHS beneficiary ID card for the treatment at this hospital, said the official sources.
