While replying to a question in
Parliament today, Minster of Health & Family Welfare Shri Jagat
Prakash Nadda said that to ensure that the terms and conditions of the
Memorandum of Agreement are followed scrupulously by the empanelled
hospitals, a monitoring cell under the aegis of a senior officer of CGHS
has been established to check irregularities including exploitation of

Treatment by CGHS empanelled hospitals in emergency cases
Recently, the Government has amended the
terms and conditions for empanelment of private hospital under the
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS). Now, the hospitals are
empanelled as a whole, meaning that all facilities available in the
hospital would be provided to CGHS beneficiaries. Disease – specific
empanelment has now been stopped.
To ensure that the terms and conditions
of the Memorandum of Agreement are followed scrupulously by the
empanelled hospitals, a monitoring cell under the aegis of a senior
officer of CGHS has been established to check irregularities including
exploitation of patients. There are provisions in the MoA including
issue of Show Cause Notice, issue of warning, recovery of amount charged
illegally from the beneficiaries, also confiscation of part or whole of
PBG (Performance Bank Guarantee), and ultimately removal from the CGHS
list, that can be resorted to in appropriate cases
