No specific time frame can be given for introduction of New Health Insurance Scheme for CG Employees and Pensioners...
Central Government has a proposal to introduce a new Health Insurance
Scheme for the CGHS beneficiaries, is there any time frame to implement
the scheme to Central Government employees and Pensioners..?
The below answer was given by the Minister of Health and Family Welfare
Shri.Ghulam Nabi Azad to the question above mentioned in the Lok Sabha
as follows...
"It has been a constant endeavour of the Government to improve the
health care facilities for the Central Government employees and
pensioners under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) and Central
Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944. In addition, Government has
mooted a proposal for introduction of a Health Insurance Scheme for the
Central Government employees and pensioners with special focus on
Non-CGHS areas.
Proposals were invited from the Insurance companies in March, 2010.
However, it was subsequently decided to initiate the process afresh
after obtaining the approval of Planning Commission and inclusion of the
scheme in the 12th Five Year Plan (FYP). "No specific time frame can be given for introduction of the health insurance Scheme".
