In such cases, no TA/DA will be paid by the government. The government servant is allowed to take treatment from referral/recognised hospitals under CGHS in emergency. However, the term 'emergency' will be decided by the Additional Director, CGHS concerned whether the case is/was of real 'Emergency' before reimbursement is made by the parent department on the basis of rates fixed by the CGHS from time to time. Ex post facto permission for treatment in government referral hospitals like PGI Chandigarh etc. can be given by the parent department.

ii) In case of major illness like by-pass urgery, kidney transplant etc., the advance may be limited to 90% of the package deal wherever it exists or the amount demanded by the hospital concerned.

iii) The advance is paid directly to the hospital concerned on receipt of an estimate.

iv) For settlement of advance, the employee concerned may be required to submit the adjustment bills within a period of one month from the date of his discharge from the hospital. In case the entire advance has not been utilised for the treatment of the patient, the head of office concerned will correspond with the hospital for refund of the unutilised balance of medical advance.

Settlement of Claim -
The government servant is required to prefer claim/bill within 3 months, from the date of discharge from the hospital. If the claim gets time barred, relaxation of delay is allowed by the department depending on the circumstances of delay. The claim should have the following documents completed:
