Pt Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences launches Medical Reimbursement Cell

He mentioned that superannuated employees of the UHS and PGIMS were living in various districts across the state, with some residing in other states as well. Previously, these retirees had to visit the UHS in person to get their medical bills reimbursed. However, with the new system in place, they no longer need to make such visits. Retirees can now submit their bills online and receive reimbursement within the designated three-week timeframe. The introduction of this streamlined process and online system addresses the significant delays that have occurred due to the lack of an efficient mechanism.

“The cell will be manned by additional staff, including a Deputy Superintendent, a pharmacist and a clerk, who will settle all pending medical claims within two months. The cell will provide regular updates on the status of the medical bills to the beneficiaries through email. The officials will submit the progress report of the cell to my office every month,” said Dr Aggarwal.
