January 31, 2019 at 4:55 pmI am going to retire in May, 2019. I am going to Stay in Madurai, being a non-CGHS station. I want to know after paying an amount of Rs.1,20,000/- for Life time Card, I will get a CGHS Card.
At the time of emergency, How can I take treatment?
Every time, coming to Chennai, will be very expensive.
How can I use this card in a city where there is no CGHS.
For going to empaneled Labs, how will I get a referrel from Doctor?
How will I get the medicine?
