Health and Family Welfare (G) Department

CIRCULAR

No. 24623/G2/2012/H&FWD. Dated, , 11th July 2012.

Sub:—Medical Reimbursement—Further Instructions—Issued—Regarding.

It has been brought to the notice of Health & Family Welfare Department that many Administrative Departments in Government Secretariat recommend and forward proposals for Medical Reimbursement in respect of Government employees to this Department even though the hospital where treatment was undergone is a recognized one by the Government and the patient has been referred by an Authorized Medical Attendant. Such a procedure results in undue delay in settling the Medical Reimbursement Claims even in deserving cases. In order to reduce the Administrative delay and to make the procedure much easier the Administrative Departments in Government Secretariat including Law and Finance are directed to examine the cases of Medical Reimbursement Claims properly on the basis of the following before forwarding the files to Health and Family Welfare Department for concurrence:—

(1) The cases of Medical Reimbursement claims in which treatment is undergone in Government approved private hospitals can be settled by the AD themselves as per KGSMA rules, 1960, in consultation with DHS and Finance Department, as per the ceiling limit fixed in this regard if the patient is referred by an Authorized Medical Attendant. 2 (2) Only those proposals for which special sanction is required for reimbursement (ie. for the treatment in unapproved private hospitals with or without proper reference) need be forwarded to this Department. In such cases specific recommendation at the level of Secretary is required.

A list of approved hospitals and list of diseases for which Medical Reimbursement is admissible is appended herewith. Which is available in the Website of this Department also.

V. V. V INAYAKUMAR, Special Secretary to Government.

To All Departments including Law, Finance and Legislature. All Head of Departments. Information and Public Relations Department. 3
