Frequently Asked Questions — CGHS Rates

Can Gini Hospital charge more than CGHS rates for empanelled procedures?+
No. For covered procedures, Gini Hospital accepts the official CGHS package rate — you pay nothing for covered components. The only extras are: premium implant differential, ward upgrade above your entitlement, and non-covered items. Our CGHS desk provides a written pre-admission estimate so there are no surprises.
What does a premium implant differential cost for knee replacement?+
The standard implant is fully covered in the CGHS package. If you choose a premium implant (gender-specific, high-flex, revision, or GiniVision™ AR computer-navigated), you pay the difference — typically ₹30,000–₹80,000 depending on the implant type. This differential is confirmed in writing before admission. Call 0172 4120100 for current implant options.
Are CGHS rates the same at all empanelled hospitals in the zone?+
Yes. CGHS rates are uniform across all empanelled hospitals — whether you're admitted at a CGHS empanelled hospital Ambala, a CGHS hospital Punjab, or Gini Hospital Mohali as the central government hospital Tricity option. The rate is set by the Ministry of Health, not the hospital. What varies is the specialist quality, technology, and care.
How are CGHS rates determined and when were they last revised?+
CGHS rates are fixed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare after consultation with medical associations. The schedule is revised periodically — most recently in 2014 with subsequent updates for specific procedures. Rates may change — always verify with the official CGHS rate schedule (available at cghs.nic.in) or call our CGHS desk for the current rate applicable to your procedure.
Do CGHS rates apply to both serving employees and pensioners?+
Yes. The same CGHS package rates apply to both serving central government employees and pensioners. The difference between them is in the monthly subscription rate (pensioners pay a lower rate based on pension grade) and ward entitlement level. The procedure cost covered by CGHS is the same for both categories.

CGHS Rates Apply Zone-Wide — Reaching Gini from Across Punjab & Haryana

Whether you're a CGHS beneficiary from Chandigarh, Ambala, or anywhere across the zone, the same CGHS package rates apply at Gini Hospital. As the leading CGHS hospital Punjab option for orthopaedic surgery and endocrinology, Gini draws patients from CGHS empanelled hospital Amritsar zone, CGHS empanelled hospital Jalandhar zone, CGHS hospital Patiala catchment, and CGHS empanelled hospital Ambala district.

For central government hospital Tricity access, Gini is the strongest specialist option. Patients from CGHS hospital Haryana districts (Ambala, Panchkula) drive 45–60 minutes. Patients from CGHS hospital Himachal Pradesh (Shimla zone) travel ~3 hours for specialist orthopaedic and diabetes care not available locally. The CGHS rate is identical regardless of where you travel from within the zone.

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. Our CGHS desk coordinates with out-of-city patients to ensure referral letters and pre-auth approvals are in order before the journey.
