Streamlining of functioning of CGHS dispensaries

Department of Health & Family Welfare

Dated : November 22 , 2010

OFFICE MEMORANDUM (Circular No. 1/2010)

Subject : Streamlining of functioning of CGHS dispensaries.

The question of streamlining the functioning of CGHS dispensaries has been engaging the attention of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for some time now. After considering the suggestions received from various quarters and after discussing the matter with officials of CGHS, it has been decided, as an initial measure, to streamline the functioning of CGHS dispensaries as below :-

(i) There is a need for officers and staff in CGHS dispensaries to further improve the delivery of service to CGHS beneficiaries. There should be a constant and conscious effort to redress most of the grievances and problems of these beneficiaries at the dispensary level so that there is no inconvenience caused to them forcing them to approach higher authorities for redressal of their grievances. The entire staff at the dispensary level have to ensure a polite, positive and responsible attitude to make the service delivery better. The CMO In-charge must make every effort to ensure this user friendly environment. Complaints of rude/impolite behavior need to be checked and stern action taken by CMOs (Incharge).

(ii) It is well established that CGHS beneficiaries need to be provided better service. Senior citizens/pensioners among the CGHS beneficiaries deserve special attention and response. It is re-iterated that senior citizens/pensioners need to be given out of queue treatment and service at each activity level. Despite repeated instructions in this regard, this system is generally not being enforced at the dispensary level. CMOs incharge must ensure compliance of these instructions.

(iii) CMOs In-charge of the dispensaries shall personally make rounds of the dispensary particularly during peak hours to ensure that there is proper environment and beneficiaries particularly pensioners/Senior Citizens are being treated promptly;

(iv) The Zonal Additional Directors/Joint Directors shall convene the meetings of Pensioners Associations once in two months alongwith CMOs (Incharge) without fail.

(v) A complaint/suggestion/feedback Box with details like number of complaints received and disposed etc. under a seal and lock will be kept at each dispensary and will be opened by the CMO In-charge in the presence of at least two members of the Advisory Committee when the Advisory Committee meeting is being held and necessary action taken by the Advisory Committee with regard to complaints/ suggestions/feedback thus received and, wherever required, the matter will be referred to higher authorities for necessary action.

(vi) All Zonal Additional Directors and Joint Directors shall conduct at least five surprise inspections of the dispensaries in Delhi and at least two in other cities in a month and report the outcome of the inspection indicating the areas such as punctuality, availability and behavior of officers/staff, special care for pensioners/Senior Citizens, deficit areas/complaints and also the good work done in each of the dispensaries inspected, by way of a confidential monthly d.o. letter to reach AS & DG (CGHS) without fail on or before 10th of the succeeding month;

(vii) It is seen that a large number of beneficiaries go to the dispensaries for taking repeat medicines. Authorization of repeat medicines will hereinafter be done by any of the CMOs, apart from the CMO In-charge, available in the dispensary;

(viii) The Zonal Additional Directors/Joint Directors will personally monitor and ensure that the empanelled hospitals etc. do adhere to the terms & conditions of MOAs. They will also supervise the services, if any, being provided by the private parties in their zones such as dialysis, dental services etc.

2. Director, CGHS and all Additional Directors/Joint Directors and CMOs In-charge are hereby directed to fully comply with the instructions contained in this Office Memorandum in both letter and spirit. Noncompliance shall be viewed seriously.

Hospital list yet to come, CGHS pensioners may have to wait

Hospital list yet to come, CGHS pensioners may have to wait

Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) pensioners in the city may have to wait for a while till the government sends an order regarding the number of empanelled hospitals recognised under the scheme. Presently, Deendayal and Kotbagi hospital have agreed to the new rates while Ruby Hall Clinic has categorically refused.

Additional Director of CGHS S R Pashupatimath said that the last date for the shortlisted hospitals to accept the new rates of treatment and sign the memorandum of understanding with the government has been extended till October 29. So far Deendayal and Kotbagi hospitals have agreed to the terms and conditions while three hospitals selected for providing eye treatment – Inlaks and Budhrani hospital, Ameya Netralaya and Jadhav eye foundation have also agreed to the new rates.

It may be recalled that the government had last year invited tenders from hospitals for empanellment. Out of the 17 shortlised just three hospitals in the city were empanelled to provide general treatment to CGHS beneficiaries. This is against the present 27 hospitals which are providing treatment to the patients under the scheme.

While Pashupatimath had also admitted that it would be difficult to implement such a scheme with only three hospitals, he told The Indian Express that they would wait till October 29 and then send a report to the government. “Till such time that the government issues an order on the exact number of empanelled hospitals, the present system will continue as per the old rates of treatment,” he said.

At Ruby Hall Clinic , CEO Bhomi Bhote insists that the rates of treatment by the government are even lower than the earlier rates. “We also need to include more hospitals in the scheme as Ruby Hall Clinic will not be able to admit all the beneficiaries.”

CGHS Dispensary Shifting - 20,000 beneficiaries face uncertainty

CGHS Dispensary Shifting
20,000 beneficiaries face uncertainty
Anuja Jaiswal
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, September 25 Over 20,000 beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) in the region could be deprived of health care facilities until and unless either the Union Health Ministry takes urgent steps to find an alternative place to shift its lone dispensary in Sector 45 or the UT administration shelves its plan to evict them from there.

The CGHS dispensary, the only one in the northern region (up Delhi), which caters to Central Government employees and retired personnel working or settled in Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, faces eviction notice from the Administration and is presently functioning on an extended deadline. The initial deadline expired in June and the Administration has given six additional months to the CGHS to make alternative arrangements.

However, nothing much has been done till date and if the things continue at the same pace and the Administration doesn’t extend the deadline, the CGHS beneficiaries could be heading for trouble, vis-a-vis their health care.

Confirming the Administration’s move, SC Anand, Additional Director, CGHS, Chandigarh, said, the UT administration had served an eviction notice for June, but after the intervention of some members of the coordination committee of the Central Government Pensioners Association, the deadline was extended till December.

He said the building where the dispensary was located was taken on rent from the Administration in 2002.

Anand said though they had identified some alternative sites for shifting the dispensary, the approval was yet to come from the Administration. “If any of the given sites is approved in time, the work can be started and the deadline met,” he said. Else they would face the dilemma of what to do post-December, he added.

On the other hand, UT health officials say they need the site for converting it into standalone “labour rooms” for encouraging institutional deliveries in and around Sector 45. Though the reason may sound plausible, a senior official could not explain why this particular site was required when the Administration has many alternatives with it.

Central Government employees and pensioners are obviously concerned about these developments and feel that rather than just indulging in “babugiri” of issuing notices, the Administration should offer alternatives. “If the lone wellness centre is closed, the elderly pensioners will be at loss,” said one of the members of the pensioners’ committee.

Interestingly, most of the Central Government pensioners registered at the CGHS dispensary in Sector 45 are from Chandigarh and are not covered by any other health care scheme. In case the dispensary goes non-functional, they will be deprived of medical facilities, maintains another member of the coordination committee.

Pensioners To Get Smartcards For Health Scheme

Now, Pensioners To Get Smartcards For Health Scheme

It is a `smart' way to a healthy life. From April 1, Pune's pensioners will get smart cards for availing of medical benefits from the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), anywhere in the country.

While initially new pensioners who get enrolled under the CGHS will be provided the smart card from April, the computerised system will enable at least 84,999 beneficiaries from Pune to avail of this facility phase-wise. Dr S R Pashupati, Additional Director of CGHS told The Indian Express that the smart cards will first be given to the employees and new pensioners who have enrolled. "It will take time to feed data into the computer about the details of each person in the family, collect their photographs and other information and then issue a smart card. The process has been set rolling,''Dr S B Nadoni, senior regional director for health and family welfare for the Maharashtra, Goa and Daman and Diu regions.

CGHS is available in over 25 cities while the CGHS employees living outside the CGHS areas are entitled to reimbursement for medical attendance and treatment under the Central services (medical attendance) rules. The project of computerisation of CGHS dispensaries in Pune is being completed, Nadoni said and pointed out that this smart card can be used by any member of the family. Updated reports of the patients and details will be accessible at the Delhi Headquarters once the data is fed in and the computerisation process is over. The HQ will also subsequently be furnished with details of the need for medicines at various dispensaries, Nadoni said.

According to Pashupati the medical history of the patients, their record of the monthly supplies of drugs and importantly their identifications with photographs will be fed in the computers.

CGHS dispensary at Akurdi

CGHS dispensary at Akurdi

Beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), staying in Pimpri-Chinchwad and adjoining areas, now have a dispensary at Akurdi.

Employees of Central government have been urged to log into the website (cghs.nic.in) to get new identity cards.

For several years, government employees, both serving and retired, had been facing inconvenience as there was no dispensary in Pimpri-Chinchwad area. So they had to travel all the way to Pune city for treatment.

According to CGHS, of the 30,000 card holders in the district, about 50 per cent stay in Pimpri-Chinchwad. The proposal was under consideration since last two years. The new centre at Akurdi is convenient as it is near the railway station and is also well connected by bus.

The areas to be covered under the new dispensary include Akurdi, Chinchwad, Punawale, Rupinagar, Nigdi, Ravet, Dehu Road and Shelarwadi.

New Dialysis Center for Central Government Employees and Pensioners

CGHS-Apollo Dialysis Center to be a Precursor of Standalone Dialysis Units First of its kind PPP Initiative to be Inaugurated tomorrow

In a pioneering initiative and first of its kind in Central Government Health Scheme(CGHS), Minister of Health and Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad will inaugurate a standalone haemodialysis centre at Sadiq Nagar CGHS Wellness centre, here tomorrow. This pilot project shall be a testing pad in CGHS before such units are rolled out at District Level under the National Program for control of Diabetes. This is being started as a pilot project in collaboration with M/S Alliance Medicorp (India) Limited, Chennai a JV company of Apollo Health and Lifestyle Ltd. (Apollo Group of Hospitals) under Public Private partnership. Secretary (Health) Ms K Sujatha Rao, Director General Health Services Dr R K Shrivastava and Chairman Apollo group Sh Pratap Chander Reddy will be present on the occasion.

Currently in India dialysis units are set up within hospitals mainly due to shortage of nephrologists leading to scarcity of dialysis units. CGHS beneficiaries often suffer hardship for dialysis as demand far exceeds the supply. CGHS refers quite a few of its beneficiaries to private empanelled hospitals. In Delhi around 40 – 50 patients require dialysis per day. Further in years to come, need for dialysis is likely to go up in view of prevalent diseases like diabetes and hypertension which lead to chronic Kidney disease and renal failure. Therefore Public Health sector shall have to cater to significantly increased demand for dialysis and concept of standalone dialysis has been looked into for meeting this demand. In this model dialysis unit is not located in a hospital and therefore eliminating the need of availability of Nephrologist round the clock as Dialysis station is manned by trained medical and paramedical staff under the overall supervision of Nephrologists who ensure quality control as per laid down protocol. Without exploring the possibility of commissioning standalone dialysis units it may never be possible to meet this demand . While identifying a private partner Apollo Hospitals scored better in overall support mechanism of Nephrologist, Human Resources, Referral, Complications Management, Performance Report and Grievance Redressal. Chronic renal failure is a disease where patient’s kidneys are either compromised or stop functioning and are unable to clear toxic wastes from the body. Dialysis is regarded as a "holding measure" until a renal transplant can be performed, or sometimes as the only lifelong supportive measure in those for whom a transplant would be inappropriate.

A space of 2400 sq. ft. covered area has been renovated to suit the requirements for providing state of art dialysis facility .It shall have a capacity to dialyze up to 21 cases of Chronic Renal Failure per day with seven functional Dialysis machines (and an additional stand by machine) and shall be operational from 7 A.M. to 8 P.M. for 310 days in a year. If maximally utilized it shall be able to undertake 6510 dialysis per year.

Dialysis machine works on the principle of the diffusion (Waste removal) of solutes and ultra filtration(Fluid Removal) across a semi permeable membrane .a thin layer of material that contains various sized holes, or pores through which smaller solutes and fluid pass through but blood cells, and large proteins can’t). Substances in water tend to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration Blood flows by one side of a semi-permeable membrane, and a dialysate (dialysis fluid), flows by the opposite side .this counter current being beneficial for removal of urea and creatinine accumulation of which in blood are life threatening.

This joint venture would fruitfully cater to the need of maintenance haemodialysis of CGHS beneficiaries by in house management of such patients. This center would be extremely beneficial to CGHS patients of chronic renal failure by providing timely haemodialysis and mitigate suffering thereby improving the quality of life and productivity. This center shall also reduce dependence of CGHS on private empanelled hospitals and government hospitals.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Preventive Health-Check-up of CGHS beneficiaries above the age of 40 years.

The undersigned is directed to state that CGHS has been providing medical care facilities to all its beneficiaries through dispensaries in 25 cities; Government hospitals, polyclinics and through private hospitals and diagnostic centres empanelled under CGHS. A suggestion was made that the CGHS can play pro-active role in providing medical facilities to its beneficiaries by providing for preventive health check-up of its beneficiaries above specified age. The suggestion has been examined in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and it was decided to implement a preventive check-up scheme of all CGHS beneficiaries above the age of 40 years, with effect from 24th February, 2010.. Presently, the check-up has been introduced in two dispensaries in Ramakrishna Puram (in Sector XII and Sector IV). The scheme is voluntary to CGHS beneficiaries. To avail this facility, beneficiaries of these dispensaries can register themselves in their respective dispensaries. The following tests would be carried out:

Male	Female
Hb; Blood Sugar (Fasting & PP); LFT; KFT; T3 T4 TSH; Lipid Profile and ECG	Hb; Blood Sugar (Fasting & PP); LFT; KFT; T3 T4 TSH; Lipid Profile; ECG and PAP Smear

2. After investigations, the beneficiaries will undergo history taking, general examination, eye examination and gynecological examination. They are then examine by a medical specialist and based on the investigations, general, systemic, eye and gynecological examinations, the beneficiaries would be advised on the follow-up and further examination /treatment by specialists.

3. Beneficiaries intending to get the health check-up need not get prior permission from their respective Ministries / Departments. The cost of getting the health check-up is Rs. 800/- (Rupees Eight hundred only) in respect of male beneficiary and Rs. 900/- (Rupees Nine hundred only) in respect of female beneficiaries. The expenditure incurred by serving employees and their eligible members may be reimbursed by the Ministry / Department in which they are working.

Review of Functioning of CGHS

Review of Functioning of CGHS

The performance of the CGHS is regularly reviewed by the Government. The committee of secretaries has also been regularly reviewing the functioning of the CGHS since December 2008 and has been giving directions to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for making it beneficiary friendly. Some of the recent initiatives are listed below:

1. Computerisation: To keep pace with the modern times, a massive computerisation work has been taken up under CGHS in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre. Computerisation of the CGHS will result in lesser waiting period for beneficiaries at the dispensaries; online placement indents on local chemists, availability of patients profiles; availability of medicine, drugs usage pattern, which enable the CGHS to prepare a realistic of formulary drugs; reduction in use of paper; removal of jurisdictional restriction (as regard the dispensaries) for the beneficiaries, etc.

2. Introduction of Plastic cards: As part of the computerisation process, it has been decided to plastics cards individually to each beneficiary of the CGHS. This will enable beneficiaries to avail CGHS facility in any city should they happen to be in that city either on official work or on leave. Inter city treatment will be possible after all cities are computerised and networked.

3. Accreditation of hospitals with National Accreditation Board for hospitals and health care providers (NABH) and lapse with National Accreditation Board for Testing and Caliberation Laboratories (NABL): With a view to providing better quality treatment to CGHS beneficiaries, it was decided that only those private hospitals and diagnostic centres would be empanelled under the CGHS, as have been cleared by the quality Council of India after it carried out inspection of the facilities available at these hospitals and diagnostic centres. It may been decided all the hospitals and laboratories on the panel of CGHS have to get certificates issued by the NABH / NADL under the quality council of India.

4. Medical Audit of Hospital Bills is an important exercise to assess the quality of services offered and expenditure incurred. In order to be sure that the bills raised by private empanelled hospitals are genuine and that the beneficiaries were required to undergo only that treatment as was required and that the hospital has not forced the beneficiary to undergo unnecessary tests / treatment at the hospital. The job of the medical audit of Hospital bills has been outsourced to TPAs.

5. Holding of Claims Adalats: Complaints were received in the CGHS and in the Ministry that old cases of reimbursement of medical expenses incurred by pensioners were pending for settlement for long time. It was decided that claims adalats be held in each Zonal office of CGHS, Delhi under the chairmanship of the Additional Directors of the respective zones. Claims adalats were held annually, in each zone (East, Central, South and North Zones) in Delhi, during 2007 and 2008 and over 95% of the claims were settled in those adalats. Encorporated by the success in Delhi, all CGHS cities have been directed to hold claim adalats on annual basis.

6. Local Advisory Committees Local Advisory Committee meetings are held in each CGHS dispensary on second Saturday on the month attended by the Welfare Officer appointed by the Chief Welfare Officer, Department of Personnel & Training, representatives from pensioners associations, local chemists to resolve problems at dispensary level.

7. Decentralisation and delegation of powers: Ministries / departments have been delegated powers to handle all cases of reimbursement claims if no relaxation of rules was involved. Either they had powers to handle requests upto Rs. 2 Lakh and beyond that amount, the cases were referred to CGHS.

8. Rate contract for purchase of drugs: Dispensaries in Delhi have been permitted to place indent directly on the manufacturers on rate contract basis. The benefit of this arrangement is that dispensaries / CGHS do not have to carry huge inventory of medicines and indents can be placed on a monthly basis depending on the need.

INTERIM ARRANGEMENT FOR MUMBAI AND THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

It has been brought to the notice of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare that hospitals and diagnostic centres empanelled under CGHS, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram have been showing lack of interest in continuing with CGHS due to their perceived grievance of high amount of performance bank guarantee and the rates that were being offered. This has resulted in the ailing CGHS beneficiaries not being able to get treatment in private hospitals and diagnostic centres.

The matter has been examined in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and, as an interim arrangement, it has been decided that CGHS beneficiaries in Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram may be allowed to get their treatment / tests, etc., in any private hospital / diagnostic centre in their respective cities and claim reimbursement from their respective Departments / Ministries / CGHS, as the case may be, subject to the condition that the reimbursement would be limited to the CGHS rates that have been fixed for the city. There will be no change in the procedure for claiming of reimbursement of expenses.

The hospitals, not being in the list empanelled hospitals under the CGHS, may not provide treatment under CGHS package rates for the city and may charge their own prevailing rates. The hospitals will also not be extending credit facilities to pensioner CGHS beneficiaries. Hence the beneficiaries may have to spend for their treatment from their own resources and claim reimbursement from their respective Ministries / Departments / CGHS. Before they proceed to get treatment in a hospital, the beneficiaries are requested to get the permission from the concerned authorities.
