CGHS Updates Photo Rules for Hospital Submissions

CGHS Updates Photo Rules for Hospital Submissions

The government has changed the photo rules for people using the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS).

Now, if you have a referral for a hospital stay, you don't need to submit photos.

If you don't have a referral, you'll need to take photos when you're admitted and discharged, and every week if your stay is longer.

For those visiting the doctor without a referral, only certain groups need a photo, like people over 70.

There is a one-time break on previous daily photo uploads.

All photos must be geo-tagged and submitted within 24 hours.
