Director, CGHS,

 Sir,

Sub: –    Denial of eligible ward entitlement to BSNL pensioners switched over from BSNL MRS to CGHS by Wellness Centre, Vijayawada- intervention sought- reg.

Ref: –     Department of Telecommunications Office Memorandum No.4-12(12)2018-PAT-Part (1) dated 1st July, 2019.

The above referred Office Memorandum, prepared with the approval of CGHS authority, in its Annexures, has specifically classified ward entitlement for the indoor treatment according to pay scales of each retired BSNL employee.

But we are constrained to bring to your kind notice that the Wellness Centre, Vijayawada has issued CGHS cards to all the BSNL pensioners switched over from BSNL MRS, with General Ward entitlement, without considering their pay scales. It is needless to say that CGHS card is an important document and any discrepancy in it will put the pensioners to unnecessary difficulties.

The issue was promptly brought to the notice of Additional Director, CGHS, Hyderabad by our Andhra Pradesh Circle Branch, but of no avail.

Therefore your kind intervention is requested in the matter for urgent settlement by issuing new CGHS cards in all cases wherever semi private and private wards are eligible.

A line in reply shall be much appreciated.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

K G Jayaraj

General Secretary.
