7 CGHS Empanelled Hospitals in Kozhikode

CGHS empanelled hospitals in Kozhikode — full 2026 list

Our list of CGHS empanelled hospitals in Kozhikode is compiled from the official Central Government Health Scheme empanelment data and covers 3 hospitals and 3 eye centres — 7 facilities in all. Of these, 5 are NABH-accredited, the highest hospital-quality mark in India, and a further 2 hold NABH Entry Level certification — a pre-accreditation stage, so they are on the way to full NABH rather than already there. Under CGHS, central government employees, pensioners and their dependants get cashless or reimbursable treatment at these facilities, usually after a referral from their CGHS Wellness Centre. Well-known CGHS empanelled hospitals in Kozhikode include KMCT Medical College Hospital, MVR Cancer Centre & Research Institute and Metromed International Cardiac Centre.

Between them, the empanelled hospitals in Kozhikode cover specialties such as General Purpose and Oncology — so most planned surgeries, cancer care, cardiac procedures, orthopaedics, eye and dental treatment and diagnostics can be availed cashless at CGHS package rates within the city.

NABH vs QCI vs Non-NABH — what the badges mean

Each hospital in Kozhikode shows an accreditation badge. NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) is the top quality standard and can qualify a facility for the higher CGHS accredited-hospital package rate. QCI-recommended is an entry-level quality assessment. Non-NABH means the facility is empanelled with CGHS but is not currently NABH-accredited. All three can be used under CGHS — the badge simply helps you judge accreditation. Rates at non-accredited facilities follow the standard CGHS ceiling.

How CGHS cashless treatment works in Kozhikode

1. Register with your CGHS card at your Wellness Centre in Kozhikode.
2. Visit the Wellness Centre for consultation; the CMO refers you to an empanelled hospital if needed.
3. Carry the referral and CGHS card to the empanelled hospital of your choice from the list above.
4. Pensioners and eligible beneficiaries get cashless treatment; others may claim reimbursement at CGHS rates.
5. For emergencies, go straight to an empanelled hospital — the referral is regularised afterwards.

The same steps apply at every empanelled hospital in Kozhikode, whether you choose a large multispecialty hospital or a neighbourhood eye, dental or diagnostic centre. Cashless billing means you usually pay nothing up front for covered procedures within your ward entitlement.

Emergency & specialist care under CGHS in Kozhikode

In a genuine emergency, a CGHS beneficiary can walk in directly to any empanelled hospital in Kozhikode — cardiac events, accidents, strokes and similar situations do not need a prior referral, and the paperwork is regularised later. For planned specialist care such as cancer treatment, cardiac surgery, joint replacement, dialysis, cataract surgery or dental work, take a referral from your Wellness Centre and choose an empanelled hospital in Kozhikode that offers that specialty. The detail page for each hospital lists the exact specialties it is empanelled for.

Your ward entitlement — General, Semi-Private or Private — depends on your pay level / basic pay; see our CGHS ward-entitlement guide for the exact slabs. Beneficiaries in Kozhikode can use any empanelled hospital in the list above after the required referral. Always confirm live empanelment, CGHS package rates and your entitlement on cghs.gov.in.
