In the wake of social distancing norms due to COVID pandemic, the central government said on Friday that CGHS beneficiaries need not visit their wellness centres to buy their medicines for chronic diseases and can make purchases from any pharmacy on doctor’s prescription.

The cost of purchase will be reimbursed through a medical claim that the beneficiary can make later through their CGHS centre to their concerned government department.

“CGHS beneficiaries can buy medicines from any pharmacy till April 30 irrespective of the non availability certificate from CGHS. The objective is to ensure beneficiaries do not visit CGHS wellness centres till April 30,” a government communication said.
