Hospitals, Empanelled Private Hospital/ Dental and Diagnostic
Centers. These referrals can also made by authorised staff of the
Polyclinics. |
|
3. In
emergencies and life threatening conditions, when patients may not
be able to follow the normal referral procedures, they are permitted
to be admitted to any / nearest hospital. In case of admission to an
empanelled facility, the member would be required to produce his /

empanelled hospital is required to inform the Polyclinic that
station, or the nearest Service Hospital/ Station Headquarters, in
case the polyclinic cannot be contacted, within a period of 48
hours, regarding the particulars and the nature of admission. The
OIC Polyclinic may take arrangements for verification of the facts
and issues of a normal referral. Details of ECHS Polyclinic in
