New Delhi: BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, operated by the Lahore Hospital Society, has withdrawn from the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) panel. 

According to an Office Memorandum issued by the Office of the Additional Director, CGHS Headquarters, on June 4, 2026, the hospital's request for withdrawal from the CGHS panel has been approved. The exit has been made effective retrospectively from May 22, 2026.

To ensure that patients are not adversely affected, CGHS has clarified that beneficiaries who were already undergoing treatment at the hospital before the issuance of the order will continue to receive services at CGHS-approved rates until their ongoing treatment is completed. The hospital will submit claims related to such treatments to the National Health Authority (NHA) or the concerned government departments for reimbursement. 

Special provisions have also been made for patients undergoing long-term therapies. Beneficiaries undergoing chemotherapy, dialysis, or radiotherapy at the hospital will be allowed to continue their treatment there until their existing referral expires. 

The memorandum, issued by Dr Pushp Lata, Additional Director, CGHS Headquarters, has been circulated to various government ministries, departments, CGHS offices, and other stakeholders. The National Health Authority and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) have also been informed and directed to update the CGHS portal accordingly.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that, criticising the delay in clearing a retired employee’s medical reimbursement, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) to put in place a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for processing such claims. Taking a tough stand, Justice Harpreet Singh Brar imposed a cost of Rs 1 lakh on the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for what the court described as an "inordinate, unreasonable and undignified" delay in settling a retiree’s medical claim.
