Hospital Software for CGHS-Empanelled Hospitals
CureNearMe HMIS includes built-in workflows for Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) empanelled hospitals — card verification, fixed-rate package billing, claim documentation, and faster reimbursements from the Ministry of Health.
CGHS-Specific Features in CureNearMe HMIS
- CGHS card verification — beneficiary card number verified at registration. Entitlement, pensioner/serving status, and dependent details confirmed before admission.
- Fixed-rate package billing — CGHS approved rates pre-loaded. Billing auto-applies the correct package rate without manual lookup.
- Claim documentation checklist — all required documents (discharge summary, investigation reports, bills) tracked against CGHS requirements.
- Referral management — CGHS requires referral from CGHS dispensary for most procedures. Referral number captured and linked to the patient file.
- NABH-aligned records — CGHS empanelment requires NABH accreditation for many hospitals. CureNearMe's documentation supports both.
- MIS reports for CGHS — scheme-wise patient count, package utilisation, claim status, and revenue from CGHS — in one dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CGHS and which hospitals need CGHS software?
CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) provides healthcare to central government employees, pensioners, and their dependents. Hospitals empanelled under CGHS need to handle CGHS card verification, fixed-rate package billing, and claim submission to the Ministry of Health.
How does CureNearMe handle CGHS billing?
CureNearMe pre-loads CGHS approved package rates. When a CGHS patient is registered, the system verifies their card, applies the correct fixed rates automatically, tracks referral requirements, and prepares claim-ready documentation.
Can CGHS and private patients be managed in the same system?
Yes. CureNearMe handles CGHS, PMJAY, ESI, TPA, and private patients in the same workflow. The billing engine switches rules automatically based on the patient's scheme.
Does CGHS empanelment require NABH accreditation?
For certain hospital categories, yes. CureNearMe's NABH-aligned documentation supports hospitals seeking or maintaining both CGHS empanelment and NABH accreditation simultaneously.
Which cities have the highest CGHS patient volume?
Delhi NCR, Nagpur, Bhopal, Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad have the highest concentration of CGHS beneficiaries due to large central government and defence presence.
