CGHS rate revision 2025: The fortunes of central government employees and pensioners have brightened. After a long wait, the central government has now made a major change in the treatment rates under the Employees’ Health Scheme. This change will directly impact millions of central government employees, pensioners, and their dependents. This will improve the quality of treatment and ensure transparency.
The new treatment rates have come into effect from today. Employees and pensioners will benefit from this. According to the government, the rates for approximately 2,000 medical procedures will now be determined based on the city’s category and hospital accreditation.
Rates in Tier-II cities will be 19 per cent lower than the base rate, and in Tier-III cities, rates will be up to 20 per cent lower. Furthermore, base rates will be implemented in NABH-accredited hospitals. Rates in non-NABH hospitals will be 1 per cent lower than the base rate. This change will prove to be a booster dose.

According to the new guidelines of the Modi government at the Centre, treatment ratessuper-specialityalty hospitals will be 15% higher than those at NABH-accredited hospitals. The Central Government Health Scheme will prove to be a boon. This is being considered a significant initiative by the government.
This scheme, launched by the Central Government, provides medical services to the public at affordable rates. It covers various medical costs, including daily tests, consultations, and surgeries. The CGHS package will provide an all-inclusive lump sum.
This will cover the entire treatment from admission to discharge. This scheme is considered particularly beneficial for central government employees and pensioners and their dependent family members. According to the portal, this scheme covers approximately 4.26 million beneficiaries in 80 cities across the country.
Apply again
According to the government, the MoAsl issued before October 13, 2013, will no longer be valid. You may be surprised to hear this. The implication is that all hospitals participating in the Central Government Health Scheme will need to reapply under the new guidelines. Failure to apply according to the established guidelines will result in further difficulties.
