GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUOUS EMPANELMENT SCHEME FOR EMPANELMENT OF PRIVATE
HOSPITALS, DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORIES, EXCLUSIVE EYE CENTRES AND DENTAL
CLINICS WITH CGHS.
Background
With a view to ensuring comprehensive health
care to CGHS beneficiaries, CGHS has been, apart from the Government Hospitals,
empanelling private hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, exclusive eye centres
and dental clinics by floating tenders periodically. The last tender
process in this context commenced in the January 2014 and
through this process package rates for different treatment procedures and
investigations have been notified in 2014. As a part of this
process, certain hospitals and diagnostic laboratories exclusive eye centres and
dental clinics which participated in
e-tender process and accepted these rates and also signed
MOAs with CGHS have been notified in all CGHS cities except Mumbai.
However, it has been noticed that the number
of hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, exclusive eye centres and dental clinics
notified in certain cities through the current tender process is not adequate
to provide a satisfactory level of Healthcare to CGHS beneficiaries. Also,
there has been little or no response in certain other cities, with the result a
situation has arisen where CGHS is not in a position to provide to its
beneficiaries the requisite healthcare due to lack of adequate number of
hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and exclusive eye centres and dental clinics
.
Accordingly, it has become necessary to
introduce continuous empanelment scheme, under which more hospitals, diagnostic
laboratories and imaging centres could be empanelled to take care of
inadequacy.
In this background, it is proposed to invite
willing hospitals, diagnostic laboratories exclusive eye centres and dental
clinics to apply for empanelment under CGHS if they fulfill the same
eligibility conditions and accept the rates notified by CGHS in 2014.
Empanelment shall be for a period of 2 years
or as applicable to other HCOs empanelled earlier through e-tender in 2014
whichever is earlier.
The continuous empanelment scheme would be in
force initially upto 28th February, 2015 for all CGHS cities except Mumbai.
