The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has revised its Health Empanelment Policy to make medical services simpler and more accessible for employees, pensioners, senior citizens and other eligible beneficiaries.
Under the new policy, regular employees and dependents will get cashless indoor treatment at empanelled hospitals at CGHS rates. Contractual employees and their dependents have also been covered for the first time. Pensioners and family pensioners will continue to get cashless treatment, while those aged 70 and above can consult specialists without a referral and avail cashless indoor treatment. Eligible beneficiaries living outside Delhi can seek treatment at government hospitals, with reimbursement subject to prescribed CGHS rates. Mayor Pravesh Wahi said the revised policy would give beneficiaries wider healthcare options and directed officials to ensure its timely implementation. Meanwhile, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Saturday continued its ongoing city-wide enforcement drive against dangerous buildings, unauthorised constructions and violations of the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD) and Building Bye-Laws.
