The primary aim of EHS is to cover the treatment expenses of the beneficiaries of the scheme. Therefore, there is no claim process as such that the employee/pensioner or their family members need to follow.
The claim is raised by the network hospital 10 days after the patient is discharged and settled by the Trust Portal. In other words, retirees, pensioners, or their family members do not need to be involved in the claim process.
Here’s how you can contact relevant authorities in order to clear your doubts and grievances surrounding this scheme.
