The Haryana Government has decided that all those persons and their spouses, who have been identified as sufferers during the Emergency imposed by the Congress Government, would get the facility of reimbursement of their medical claims on the pattern of employees of the State Government.
Health Minister Anil Vij on Friday said that a proposal to this effect has been approved by the Chief Minister, Manohar lal.
Vij said that all such sufferers and their spouses would be identified in the State and Deputy Commissioner concerned would issue them photo identity cards as this incentive would only be admissible to those having photo identity cards.
The Deputy Commissioner of the concerned district would designate such an agency which would receive the medical claims from eligible beneficiaries and get these reimbursed, said he.
Vij said that for indoor treatment, full reimbursement would be allowed on the expenditure incurred for the treatment taken from the Government hospital.
In case of approved private hospitals and for treatment in private wards, the reimbursement would be allowed as per Government rules. Besides, in case of un-approved private hospitals, the medical bill would be reimbursed on issuance of an emergency certificate by the Civil Surgeon of the concerned district, said he.
The Minister said that in case of outdoor treatment, the reimbursement would be allowed from government and approved hospital subject to the condition that the person would obtain a chronic disease certificate from the concerned Civil Surgeon and bill would be worked out as per the instructions applicable to the hospitals as in case of indoor treatment.
