Health and Family Welfare department has informed all the Chief Minister Health
Insurance Scheme (CMHIS) government employees and pensioners (EP) that the

The department, in the update, further mentioned that in
cases where treatment is undertaken after the deduction of the medical
allowance from the beneficiary, irrespective of whether the treatment was
carried out in a hospital empaneled under CMHIS or under the old MR scheme,
