CGHS Ayush Hospital Room Rent and IPD Empanelment

CGHS Empanelment & Room Rent for AYUSH HCO, IPD

The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) is considering a revision of the room rent for empanelled AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) Healthcare Organizations (HCOs). This revision aims to ensure that the room rent charges are fair and in line with the services provided by these organizations. Additionally, the CGHS is also in the process of empanelling IPD (In-Patient Department) AYUSH Hospitals to expand the range of healthcare options available to its beneficiaries. This step will allow individuals to access AYUSH treatments and therapies during their hospital stays, promoting a holistic approach to healthcare.
