Good news! ESIC relaxes norms for availing health services in private hospitals in emergency cases

Good news! ESIC relaxes norms for availing health services in private hospitals in emergency cases

The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on Monday allowed its beneficiaries to avail health services directly in any nearby private hospital in case of emergency. As per the existing practice, the insured persons and beneficiaries are required to go to an ESIC dispensary or hospital to obtain referral for hospitalization in empanelled as well as non-empanelled private hospitals.

S P Tiwari, general secretary, Trade Union Coordination Committee (TUCC) said “The pre-condition of getting referral for hospitalization from the ESIC dispensary or hospital has been done away in emergency cases in the board meeting held on Monday”.

Tiwari, who is also on the board of ESIC, said the decision was taken as emergencies like heart attack or cardiac arrest require immediate hospitalization.

ESIC subscribers would be able to visit empanelled as well as non-empanelled private hospitals for emergency treatment.

The only difference is that treatment will be cash-less in the empanelled private hospitals. There would be reimbursement as per Central Government Health Services (CGHS) rates in non-empanelled private hospitals.

Subscribers are allowed to get health services in non-empanelled private hospitals in case there is no ESIC or empanelled private hospital within 10 km range.

Tiwari added it was also decided that ESIC would run its upcoming hospitals itself in order to maintain the quality of health services for its subscribers and beneficiaries and it would not hand over the facilities to states to run them.

The states run 110 hospitals for which the ESIC pays service charges. They would continue services as per the existing arrangement.

Tiwari further said the board on Monday also approved a proposal to extend till June 30, 2021 the timeline for availing unemployment benefit under the Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana run by ESIC.

The existing deadline was December 31, 2020.

Earlier in August this year, the board had relaxed norms to double payment of unemployment benefit under the scheme to 50 per cent of average wages of three months in order to help those who lost their jobs from March 24 onwards in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, all those ESIC subscribers who lost jobs during the pandemic would be able to avail the benefit till June 30, 2021.
