CGHS Officials/Pensioners on Tour or Out-of-Station

Medical facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries in various cities across India in the hospitals recognized under CGHS and CS (MA) Rules, 1944, while on tour, leave or in unforeseen emergency

Keeping in view the difficulties being faced by the CGHS beneficiaries-both the serving government employees and pensioner in availing medical facilities while on tour, leave or in unforeseen emergency out-of-station, it has been decided to liberalize the CGHS rules with respect to both -serving government employees and pensioners, so as to enable such individuals to avail of the medical facilities and services on production of their CGHS cards as enlisted below:

S.No	Category of CGHS Beneficiary	Availing of Medical Services	Mode of Reimbursement
1.	Serving Employees	During tour or visit, in any CGHS dispensary/recognized hospital or in case of a non-CGHS area, A.M.A. and recognized private hospital	By the concerned Head of Office after following the necessary procedures.
2.	Pensioners	During visit to any other CGHS covered city in the concerned dispensary/recognized hospital or in case of a non-CGHS area, A.M.A. and recognized private hospital	By the CGHS where the individual has been registered.
