CGHS Rule Change: 5 big changes in Central Government Health Scheme for central government employees, check before going to the hospital

Central Government Health Scheme: If you or someone in your family is a beneficiary of CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme), then now it has become easier to get treatment under the scheme. The central government has made 5 major changes in 2025 to make CGHS completely digital and more convenient. After the new changes, there will be no need to stand in line for treatment, carry payment slips or show documents repeatedly.

1. New HMIS portal and mobile app

The Ministry of Health has launched a new HMIS portal (www.cghs.mohfw.gov.in) and my CGHS mobile app. With this, you can avail the facility of appointment booking, e-card download, viewing medical reports on your mobile from home.

2.PAN based unique CGHS ID

Now the beneficiary will get a unique CGHS ID linked to the PAN card, which will eliminate the possibility of fraud and all the records of the family will be available at one place. Earlier, old documents had to be shown every time to renew the card, with the new ID there will be no need to show documents again and again.

3. Digital payment facility

Now CGHS fees or renewal will be available only on the new HMIS portal. The old Bharatkosh portal has been closed. This will lead to verification immediately after payment. There will be no need to take the slip to the CGHS office after payment.

4. Online approval of life saving medical device

In the new changes, the facility of online application and approval has started for essential machines like oxygen concentrator, CPAP, BiPAP. Earlier, for its approval, one had to go to the wellness center and apply several times. Now approval can be obtained in 5 days instead of 20 days.
