“Residence” is the sole criterion to determine the eligibility of the central government employee for availing medical facilities under the CGHS. Thus, central government employees and their family members, etc. residing in any of the notified cities are covered under the Scheme. The CGHS facilities are available in as many as 80 cities in India. The revised rates for general surgery are applicable in all CGHS Cities, the Office Memorandum said.

To avail of CGHS services, a central government employee needs to submit the forms in the prescribed format enclosing photos of eligible family members and submit them to the ministry/ department/office where he or she is employed.

The central government pensioners can get a CGHS card made from the office of an additional director of the city. Forms are available in the office of the additional director of the city (additional director headquarters in the case of Delhi). They can also download the forms from the CGHS Website. In case the PPO is not ready for any reason, there is an option to get a provisional card based on the last pay certificate.
