Govt Launches new Medical Scheme for Employees, Know about Paripoorna Mediclaim Ayush Bima for CGHS Beneficiaries
The Paripoorna Mediclaim Ayush Bima has been launched by the Department of Financial Services (DFS) under the Ministry of Finance, bringing a major healthcare boost for Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries.
This new health insurance plan focuses on cashless treatment, modern medical procedures, and AYUSH therapies, while giving beneficiaries access to a wide network of hospitals across India.
Who can apply and what does it cover?
The policy is exclusively for CGHS beneficiaries, allowing coverage for up to six family members under one policy. It offers in-patient hospitalization coverage within India with two sum insured options — ₹10 lakh or ₹20 lakh.
Beneficiaries can choose a co-payment model:
- 70:30 or
- 50:50,
where the insurance company and the subscriber share treatment costs accordingly. This choice helps reduce premium costs.
