CGHS : all the services will be available through the new portal from today http://www.cghs.mohfw.gov.in
new CGHS mobile app has also been launched for Android and iOS users, which has better interface and digital services.
CGHS: What are the new changes?
Now CGHS beneficiaries will be identified through PAN number. This will eliminate the need to re-check documents and make it easier to confirm eligibility.
Contribution payments will now be directly linked to the Bharat Kosh portal. This means that there will be no need to make manual entries, which will also reduce problems related to errors and refunds.
In the new system, on applying for a card, first full information about eligibility and contribution amount will be given. Only after that payment will have to be made. This will eliminate the problem of depositing money without information.
Facilities like card transfer, adding dependents or other changes in the card will now be available completely online. This will save time and beneficiaries will not have to visit the office.
Beneficiaries will now keep getting updates through SMS and email at every step of the process of every application. This will increase transparency and reduce the need to follow-up at any stage.
Keeping cybersecurity in mind, all existing users will have to reset their password when logging in for the first time. This step has been taken to protect the system from threats like hacking.
Apart from this, now the departments will be identified by their DDO (Drawing and Disbursing Officer) and PAO (Pay and Accounts Officer) codes, as recorded in the salary slips of the employees. This will also strengthen the backend records of the officers.
