New Rates for Undergoing Angioplasty
The Government has revised the CGHS package rates for coronary angioplasty and angioplasty with balloon w.e.f. 7/2/2013 as per the following details:
Coronary Angioplasty and Angioplasty with Balloon
Coronary Angioplasty - Rs. 50,000/-

Meanwhile, the continuous empanelment scheme has been revived on 14th February, 2013 to empanel more number of eligible private hospitals under CGHS to provide inpatient healthcare facilities to CGHS beneficiaries.
