CGHS guidelines revised! THESE pensioners can’t avail fixed medical allowance facility
The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has extended CGHS benefits to pensioners and family pensioners of the Union Territory of Puducherry, discontinuing Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA) for those residing in CGHS-covered areas. Pensioners in non-CGHS areas have the option to receive FMA or opt for both outpatient and inpatient benefits under CGHS.
