Mokokchung, November 22 (MExN): The District Pensioners’ Association (DPA) today informed that it has reliably learnt that Chief Minister's Health Insurance Scheme (CMHIS) card would be issued to pensioners or government employees etc only after one year or more whereas medical card holder is entitled for treatment in the empanelled hospital by submitting the aforesaid card to the hospital where admitted for treatment.
On the other hand, medical insurance money of 50% of the medical allowance is to be deducted with effect from November 2022 from each incumbent while subscriber’s right is created w.e.f. November 2022 as per existing provision, it said.
Accordingly the DPA stated that in case of an incumbent CMHIS card holder is treated or expires within the period before the issuance of the CMHIS card, such patient should be paid arrear after receiving the said card.
Otherwise, non-payment of that period of one year or more if treated in the empanelled hospital starting from November 2022 shall be a breach of fundamental right, added a press release from the DPA President, L Tia Amri.
