Between them, the empanelled hospitals in Varanasi cover specialties such as Unspecified Surgical Package, Implants, Consultation, Laboratory Medicine, Radiology, Biopsies, Chemotherapy, Physiotherapy, ENT, Critical Care, Blood Component Charges and General Procedure — 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 Varanasi 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 Varanasi

1. Register with your CGHS card at your Wellness Centre in Varanasi.
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 Varanasi, 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 Varanasi

In a genuine emergency, a CGHS beneficiary can walk in directly to any empanelled hospital in Varanasi — 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 Varanasi that offers that specialty. The detail page for each hospital lists the exact specialties it is empanelled for.
