CGHS covers hormonal disorder management at Gini Hospital across consultation, diagnostics, and medicines — with a few important conditions and exceptions explained below.
OPD consultation with Dr. Anil Bhansali (Endocrinology) at Gini is reimbursable under CGHS with a referral letter from your CGHS Wellness Centre. Pay at visit (₹1,500), claim back with original receipt + prescription + referral.
With a CGHS Wellness Centre prescription, all hormone tests are covered cashlessly at CGHS notified rates at Gini's in-house NABH-accredited lab. A full referral letter is NOT required for tests — only a wellness centre prescription. This includes thyroid panel, PCOS panel, menopause panel, testosterone panel, adrenal panel, and bone health markers.
Levothyroxine (hypothyroidism), Carbimazole (hyperthyroidism), Metformin (PCOS/diabetes), Clomiphene (PCOS/fertility), Calcium + Vitamin D, and Bisphosphonates (osteoporosis) are all on the CGHS approved drug formulary. Standard HRT medicines have partial coverage — some formulary, some require prior approval.
A clear breakdown of what CGHS covers for each major hormonal disorder at Gini Hospital Mohali.
CGHS beneficiaries should note that OPD consultation directly at Gini requires going through your wellness centre for a referral. However, all blood tests and investigations can be done cashlessly at Gini's NABH lab with a wellness centre prescription — without a full referral letter. For emergencies, CGHS covers directly without pre-auth.
This means: you can bring a hormone test prescription from your wellness centre (e.g., "TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Anti-TPO, FSH, LH") and get all tests done cashlessly at Gini on the same day — even without a prior consultation appointment at Gini.
Tell your wellness centre doctor about your symptoms — fatigue, weight changes, irregular periods, thyroid concerns, hot flushes, or low energy. Request a referral to Dr. Anil Bhansali (Endocrinology) at Gini Advanced Care Hospital, Sector 69 Mohali, plus prescriptions for hormone tests. Both the referral and test prescription should be on the same wellness centre letterhead.
At Gini, proceed to the CGHS desk. Bring: original CGHS card, wellness centre referral letter, test prescription, and Aadhaar card. For tests only (no consultation), bring CGHS card and test prescription. Gini's CGHS desk (0172-4120100) can answer questions before your visit.
Tests are done cashlessly — no payment needed at the lab. For the consultation, pay ₹1,500 at the time of visit, then claim reimbursement from your wellness centre with the original receipt, prescription (with ICD code and Dr. Bhansali's MCI registration number), and referral letter. Gini provides all required reimbursement documentation.
Dr. Anil Bhansali was Head of Endocrinology at PGIMER Chandigarh for 20 years — the same institute that trained most endocrinologists currently practicing in North India. His expertise in thyroid, PCOS, menopause, and adrenal disorders is unmatched in the Tricity.
Gini's in-house lab processes all hormonal tests at CGHS rates — TSH, Free T3/T4, Anti-TPO, Anti-TG, TRAb, FSH, LH, AMH, oestradiol, testosterone, SHBG, cortisol, ACTH, DEXA, and more. Results within 24–48 hours. Home collection available for immobile patients.
For women with PCOS, menopause, or HRT needs, Gini offers a unique joint endocrinology + gynaecology approach. Dr. Bhansali manages the metabolic and hormonal assessment; Dr. Deepika Gupta (Gynaecologist) manages the gynaecological aspects — together in one appointment. CGHS patients see both specialists under a single referral.
Gini's dedicated CGHS desk provides all documentation needed for reimbursement claims: ICD-10 coded prescriptions, MCI registration numbers, itemised bills, and discharge summaries. We know exactly what CGHS requires — you won't have to chase paperwork after your visit.
CGHS patients: get a wellness centre referral, bring your CGHS card, and access North India's most experienced endocrinologist. Tests cashless. Consultation reimbursable. CGHS desk: Mon–Sat, 10 AM–6 PM.
