Understanding what medicines you can get cashless, what requires reimbursement, and what isn't covered.
Gini Hospital Mohali is accessible from across the CGHS Chandigarh zone. Patients travel from Amritsar (2.5 hrs), Jalandhar (1.5 hrs), Shimla (3 hrs), Ambala (1 hr), Patiala (1 hr), and Jammu (4 hrs) for specialist care not available locally. As a central government hospital Tricity destination and CGHS hospital Punjab, we see beneficiaries from every district of the zone.
We function as the primary CGHS empanelled hospital Ambala referral destination for complex orthopaedic cases. As the nearest fully-equipped CGHS empanelled hospital Panchkula for joint replacement (just 20 minutes away), many Panchkula beneficiaries choose Gini for CGHS knee and hip surgeries. We are also a recognized CGHS hospital Haryana referral centre for Ambala and Panchkula districts.
Beneficiaries from Punjab who cannot find a CGHS empanelled hospital Jalandhar or CGHS empanelled hospital Amritsar with the required specialist — particularly for advanced knee replacement (GiniVision™ AR augmented reality guidance) or for seeing Dr. Bhansali — travel to Gini with their zone-issued CGHS card. We see CGHS patients from as far as CGHS hospital Patiala catchment areas and CGHS hospital Shimla zone.
We'll help you navigate the referral process, pre-auth, and scheduling — from any city in the Chandigarh CGHS zone. Mon–Sat, 10 AM–6 PM.
