MEDICAL TREATMENT IN EMERGENT CIRCUMSTANCES

Question: TREATMENT IN EMERGENCY 
The following ailments may be treated as emergency which is illustrative only and not exhaustive, depending on the condition of the patient:
                                              Acute Coronary Syndromes (Coronary Artery Bye­pass Graft / Percutaneous, Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) including Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina, Ventricular Arrhythmias, Paroxysmal Supra Ventricular Tachycardia, Cardiac Temponade, Acute Left Ventricular Failure I Severe Congestive Cardiac Failure, Accelerated Hypertension, Complete Heart Block and Stoke Adam attack, Acute Aortic Dissection. Acute Limb Ischemia, Rupture of Aneurysm, Medical and Surgical shock and peripheral circulatory failure Cerebro­Vascular attack­Stokes, Sudden unconsciousness, Head injury, Respiratory failure, decompensated lung disease, Cerebro­Meningeal infections, Convulsions, Acute Paralysis, Acute Visual loss, Acute Abdomen pain, Electric Shock Road Traffic Accidents 1 with injuries including fall. Severe Hemorrhage due to any cause, Acute poisoning, Acute Renal Failure. Acute abdomen pain in female including acute Obstetrical and Gynecological emergencies Any other life threatening condition.

 Reply:­                               In emergency the hospital will not refuse admission or demand an advance payment from the beneficiary or his family member and will provide credit facilities to the patient whether the patient is a serving employee or a pensioner availing CGHS facilities, on production of a valid CGHS card and the hospital shall submit the bill for reimbursement to the concerned Deptt./Ministry/CGHS. The refusal to provide the treatment to bonafide CGHS Beneficiaries in emergency cases and other eligible categories of beneficiaries on credit basis, without valid ground, would attract disqualification for continuation of empanelment.

                                          The nature and appropriateness of the emergency is subject to verification, which may be verified, inspected or medically audited by the nominated authority on random basis at its own discretion. The Hospital will intimate all instances of patients admitted as emergencies without prior permission to the CGHS authorities / BCA appointed by CGHS within the prescribed time.
