NABH vs QCI vs Non-NABH — what the badges mean
Each hospital in Visakhapatnam 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.
