Pick your city above to see well-known ECHS empanelled hospitals and polyclinics with a Google Maps link. For the official, always-current list, log in to echs.gov.in and check the empanelled facilities mapped to your parent polyclinic. Treatment at an empanelled hospital normally needs a referral from your polyclinic.

Can I go directly to an empanelled hospital?

For planned treatment you first visit your ECHS polyclinic and get a referral to an empanelled hospital. In a genuine emergency you can go straight to any empanelled hospital for cashless care and inform your polyclinic within 48 hours.

Is treatment at ECHS empanelled hospitals cashless?

Yes. Once you are referred (or admitted in an emergency), the empanelled hospital provides cashless treatment at approved ECHS rates and bills ECHS directly — you do not pay for covered treatment. Carry your valid ECHS 64Kb Smart Card and the referral.

Who is eligible for ECHS treatment?

ECHS covers ex-servicemen pensioners, disability and family pensioners, War Widows and their eligible dependants who hold a valid ECHS Smart Card. Serving personnel are covered under the armed forces medical system, not ECHS.

How do I confirm a hospital is still ECHS empanelled?

Empanelment is reviewed periodically and hospitals can be suspended or de-empanelled. Always verify the current status of a hospital for your polyclinic on the official portal echs.gov.in before seeking treatment — the list on this page is indicative.
