HoDs to sanction advance and medical bills

CHANDIGARH, JUNE 19
In yet another employee friendly decision, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today approved a proposal to simplify the procedure to sanction advance related to reimbursement of medical claims of government employees, pensioners and their dependents.  Therefore, now the Head of Department would be authorized to sanction the advance and the medical bills up to Rs. five lakh related to the government or government approved private hospitals. Similarly,  the Head of office in the district would be authorized to sanction an advance and the medical bill up to Rs. one lakh. The Administrative Secretary of the concerned Department would be authorized to sanction such bills of more than Rs five lakh.
          In case of Government hospital, an advance of 90 per cent of the estimate would be allowed. Also, in case of Government approved private hospital which are allowed at the rates of the PGIMER, Chandigarh plus 75 per cent of the balance amount, an advance of 75 per cent of the estimate on non package rates and 90 per cent of the estimate on the identified package rate notified by the State Government from time to time would be allowed. In case of Government approved private hospitals, which are allowed at  rates of the PGIMER, an advance of 50 per cent would be allowed because the reimbursement in such cases is less. However, 90 per cent of the amount would be allowed as advance in case of indentified package rates notified by the State Government. Other terms and conditions as mentioned in the reimbursement policy related to the advance would remain the same.
