Doctors and Hospitals working under Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) may soon breathe a sigh of relief, as the Union Health Minister has assured representatives on the revision of the CGHS rates.
Medical Dialogues has repeatedly written about the abysmal rates under the CGHS scheme, the un-viability of which has forced many doctors and hospitals to withdraw from the scheme itself. The rates set in 2014 were Rupees 300 as a indoor consultation and rupees 150 as a outdoor consultation. Not just for consultation, the rates for popular procedures are also very low. Normal delivery is paid Rs 9200 ( to NABH Hospitals) under CGHS which includes all the services of the hospital as well. This is in sharp contrast to Rs 50,000 plus being charged currently in Tier 1 cities from private patients.
