PRAPOSED RESOLUTION ON CGHS PROBLEMS OF AP STATE TO BE  SUBMITTED IN WEB CMC OF CHQ ON 12-7-20 FOR APPROVAL.

                  

                                           We on behalf of postal pensioners of AP STATE submit this RESOLUTION on the problems we are facing  particularly in ANDHRA STATE due to delay in taking decisions in r/o maintenance of RECENTLY CONVERTED P& T DISPENSARIES AS CGHS WELL NESS CENTERS AND OTHER PROBLEMS MENTIONED BELOW.

1.     IMMEDIATE ESTABLISHMENT OF ADDL. DIRECTOR OFFICE IN A.P. STATE.

                                  

                                             Even though nearly 5 years completed in forming A.P. STATE till date no action was taken by the ministry to establish separate ADDL. DIRECTOR Office in A.P STATE even though there are 6 well ness centers in the state after conversion of P&T Dispensaries. Even accommodation is also available in VIJAYAWADA in BSNL OFFICES AND THEY WILL GIVE THAT ACCOMODATION IF PERSUED AND AIIMS IS ALSO GOING TO OPEN AS CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED,IF PERSUED IT CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN THE SAME ACCOMODATION. AS SUCH WE REQUEST TO PERSUE THE MATTER WITH UTMOST PRIORITY WITH HON’BLE MINISTER AND SEE THAT EARLY DECESION WILL BE TAKEN TO ESTABLISH ADDL.DIRECTOR OFFICE IN AP STATE AND HELP PENSIONERS.

2.    RECOGNITION OF EMPANELLED HOSPITALS & DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS IN NEWLY CONVERTED P&T DISPENSARY TOWNS.

                                              even after conversion of P&T Dispensaries in Visakhapatnam,Rajahmundry,Vijayawada,Guntur & Nellore towns only one or two hospitals were empanelled except in Visakhapatnam and no diagnostic center was empanelled because of which patients, particularly pensioners are facing much trouble to get treatment. we request the CHQ to take up the issue with the Hon’ble Minister to take steps to empanel more hospitals and immediate orders may be issued to empanel all HOSPITALS & DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS  RECOGNISED UNDER CSMA RULES.

3.    EMPANELLMENT OF HOSPITALS & DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS WILLING FOR EMPANELMENT IN NON CGHS AREA TOWNS.

                                          

                                            At present the rules restrict empanelment only in CGHS well ness centers located towns/cities. But due to our prolonged struggle and apex court directions POSTAL PENSIONERS LIVING IN NON CGHS AREA ALSO PERMITTED TO BECOME MEMBERS OF CGHS AND ALL 33 POSTAL DISPENSARIES WERE CONVERTED AS CGHS WELLNESS CENTERS. DUE TO THIS NUMBER OF POSTAL PENSIONERS LIVING IN NON CGHS AREA ARE BECOMING MEMBERS AND THEY ARE SCATERRED IN MANY TOWNS. NUMBER OF HOSPITALS LOCATED IN OTHER TOWNS ARE WILLING FOR EMPANELLMENT. EVEN HON’BLE KERALA HIGH COURT ALSO DIRECTED TO ESRABLISH ATLEAST ONE WELL NESS CENTER AND ONE EMPANELLED HOSPITAL IN EACH DISTRICT.

AS SUCH WE REQUEST the CHQ TO PERSUE THE MATTER WITH  HON’BLE MINISTER TO TAKE STEPS TO ESTABLISH ONE WELLNESS CENTER IN EACH DISTRICT AND RECOGNISE WILLING HOSPITALS FOR EMPANELLMENT IN ALL IMPORTANT TOWNS IN A.P LIKE,SRIKAKULAM,VIZAYANAGARAM,ANAKAPALLI,KAKINADA,BHIMAVARAM,ELURU,GUDIVADA,MASULIPATNAM,NARASARAOPET,TENALI,ONGOLE,CHIRALA,KAVALI,GUDUR,TIRUPATHI,CHITTOR,CUDDAPAH,PRODDUTUR,MADANAPALLI,KURNOOL,NANDYAL,ANANTAPUR & HINDUPUR ETC.

4.    RESTORATION OF CASHLESS TREATMENT TO PENSIONERS IN EMPANELLED HOSPITALS IN VISAKHAPATNAM.

                                                     

                                                   OUT OF 33 EMPANELLED HOSPITALS IN VISAKHAPATNAM ONLY PRADHAMA,GAYATRI & KIMS hospitals are allowing cashless treatment to pensioners AND OTHER HOSPITALS ARE NOT ENTERTAINING PENSIONERS FOR CASHLESS TREATMENT STATING THAT THEIR BILLS ARE LONG PENDING,WHICH IS AGAINST RULES. AS SUCH CHQ IS REQUESTED TO PERSUE THE MATTER WITH DIRECTOR CGHS,NEW DELHI TO INTERVENE AND SETTLE THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY SO THAT PENSIONERS WILL FEEL HAPPY AND GET TREATMENT.

5.    PROVISION OF SUFFICIENT STAFF IN NEWLY CONVERTED WELLNESS CENTERS.

                                           

                                                   AT PRESENT SUFFICIENT STAFF ARE NOT AVILABLE IN NEWLY CONVERTED WELLNESS CENTERS BECAUSE OF THIS PATIENTS PARTICULARLY PENSIONERS ARE FACING MUCH TROUBLE. EVEN FOR SMALL DIAGNOSIS THEY HAVE TO GO TO EMPANELLED HOSPITALS AND WAITING FOR RENEWAL OF MEMBERSHIP AND OTHER PROBLEMS.. AS SUCH CHQ IS REQUESTED TO TAKE UP THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY WITH DIRECTOR CGHS,NEW DELHI TO EXAMINE THE ISSUE AND TAKE STEPS TO PROVODE SUFFICIENT TECHNICAL/NON TECHNICAL STAFF TO THESE WELLNESS CENTERS.

6.    DELAY IN SANCTION OF MEDICAL BILLS

EVENTHOUGH THERE ARE SPECIFIC ORDERS FROM MINISTRY OF HEALTH & FAMILY WELFARE TO CLEAR THE MEDICAL BILLS WITHIN THREE MONTHS AFTER SUBMISSION THE SAME IS NOT BEING IMPLIMENTED SINCEARLY AND NUMBER OF BILLS ARE PENDING IN AP/TELANGANA CIRCLE FOR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS.

AS SUCH CHQ IS REQUESTED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER SERIOUSLY WITH CONCERNED AUTHORITIES TO CLEAR ALL BILLS IMMEDIATELY AND TO IMPLIMENT THE MOH ORDERS IN TRUE SPIRIT IN FUTURE.
