Letter addressed to CEO, GKNM Hospital Coimbatore by Divisional Secretary for information on Recognition


To
Chief Executive Officer
G. Kuppuswamy Naidu Memorial Hospital,       
Nethaji  Road, Pappanaickenpalayam,
Coimbatore-641037

Sir,
Sub:        Medical Treatment of Central Government Employees-reg.

I would like to discuss about the admissibility of Medical Claim at Central Government Departments for Medical treatment taken at your hospital.

We are one of the three employees unions of Department of Post, recognized by the Government of India. We know you, as one of the best hospitals in Coimbatore. More officials from our Department were taking treatment at your hospital. Our employees, even far from Kozhikode, are coming to your hospital.

But it was informed by our higher authorities that your hospital’s name was removed from the “The list of private hospitals recognized under Central Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944”.(i.e. from the list of empanelled hospitals) from July-2016. One of our colleague, who had his heart operated upon from your hospital, during Aug-2016, could not get his re-imbursement (Around Rs. 2 Lakhs) due to this problem.

Due to this problem, two officials from our Coimbatore office alone, moved out to another hospital in the last two months. The scenario exists in another central Government Departments in Coimbatore, also.

Hence It is kindly requested to clarify

(1)     Whether your hospital was recognized under Central Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944, so that our employee colleagues could get their re-imbursement.
(2)     If so, kindly provide the certificates/Gazette Notification etc in this regard to us, which will enable us to take treatment at your hospital and get re-imbursement from our Department.
(3)     If not so, kindly take necessary action to enroll your hospital in the above list, which will be helpful to us.

            A word of reply will be appreciated.

Thanking you,


Yours sincerely,

(V. M. Sivakumar)
