How CGHS Package Rates Work

A CGHS "package rate" is an all-inclusive amount covering admission, surgeon and anaesthetist charges, operation theatre, nursing, routine investigations, medicines and accommodation for the standard length of stay.

Under the Office Memorandum effective 13 October 2025, a non-NABH hospital is paid 15% below the NABH rate, and for the specialities the memorandum names, a super-speciality hospital is paid 15% above the NABH rate.

The published rate is the semi-private ward figure: a general-ward entitlement is 5% lower and a private-ward entitlement 5% higher. Hospitals in Tier II cities are paid 10% less and in Tier III cities 20% less than in Tier I, with the North-East and the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at Tier II rates.

Referral and Prior Permission

For planned (non-emergency) procedures, a CGHS beneficiary needs a referral from the CGHS wellness centre and prior permission from the competent authority. Emergency treatment at an empanelled hospital is reimbursed up to CGHS rates without prior permission.

• Carry a valid CGHS card and follow your ward entitlement (based on pay/pension)
• Use an empanelled hospital for cashless treatment up to CGHS rates
• Obtain prior permission and referral for planned surgery

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery cheaper than open surgery under CGHS?

Under the rates effective 13 October 2025 the position is reversed: laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is Rs 36,550 (non-NABH) and Rs 43,000 (NABH), while the open laparotomy package is Rs 29,750 and Rs 35,000. The surgeon decides the approach on medical grounds, not on the rate.

Hysterectomy and maternity/delivery have their own CGHS packages — see our separate CGHS hysterectomy and CGHS maternity rate guides.
