The prices of these 2000 medical procedures have increased from today, after 11 years CGHS rates have increased, see the new rate list..

Millions of central government employees and pensioners will now have to spend more on medical treatment, as changes to the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS Rates Revised) rates have come into effect today. For the first time in 11 years, the government has revised the prices of 2,000 medical procedures. These changes in treatment costs are based on the type of hospital, city classification, and ward eligibility.

The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), an insurance scheme for central government employees, provides subsidized charges for various medical expenses, including diagnostic tests, consultations, surgeries, and hospitalization, among other benefits.
