OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Clarification regarding demarcation of CGHS covered areas under CGHS Wellness Centre.
With reference to the above subject the undersigned is directed to state
that in some of the CGHS Cities the areas covered under CGHS were not
specified resulting in inconvenience to the beneficiaries. The matter
has been reviewed and it is now decided that hereinafter the coverage of
CGHS shall be limited to the areas within 5 km (approx.) radius of the
CGHS Wellness Centres, in all CGHS covered Cities, where such
demarcations were not specified. The Additional Director, CGHS concerned
City shall notify such areas covered under CGHS Wellness Centres.
The serving Central government employees residing outside the CGHS
covered areas shall be covered under CS(MA) Rules. However, in all CGHS
covered cities the serving Central government employees residing within
the Municipal limits of the city, shall be given a onetime choice to opt
for CGHS (instead of CS(MA) Rules) from the nearest CGHS Wellness
Centre.
