ECHS Empanelled Hospitals in Maharashtra — 183 Across 10 Cities

Which ECHS Regional Centre covers Maharashtra?

ECHS is run through 30 Regional Centres across India, and they do not follow state boundaries. Your Regional Centre decides where your ECHS Smart Card is administered, which polyclinic you are attached to, and where a referral or a reimbursement claim is processed — so it is worth knowing before you need treatment, not after.

Maharashtra is split across 3 Regional Centres, which is the part veterans most often get wrong. The largest share is administered by RC Pune (51% of the 183 empanelled facilities here), but the centre that covers you depends on your district and the polyclinic you are attached to — not on which hospital you happen to visit.

Shares are calculated from the empanelled facilities we list for Maharashtra and indicate which centres are active in the state — they are not a district-by-district jurisdiction map. Your polyclinic will confirm your parent centre.

What kind of ECHS facilities are empanelled in Maharashtra?

Not every empanelled facility is a general hospital. Of the 183 ECHS empanelled facilities in Maharashtra, 130 are hospitals , 34 are dedicated eye centres, 10 are dental clinics, 8 are diagnostic and imaging centres, and 1 are AYUSH facilities (Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha or Homoeopathy). The distinction matters at the referral stage: a referral to an eye centre or a diagnostic lab covers only that treatment, and walking into a dental clinic expecting general admission will not work.

ECHS coverage across Maharashtra

ECHS empanelment in Maharashtra is spread across 10 cities rather than concentrated in one, with Nagpur the largest at 23% of the state's 183 facilities. For most veterans in Maharashtra that means an empanelled facility within reasonable reach — check your own city below first.

How to get cashless ECHS treatment in Maharashtra

1. 1. Start at your polyclinic. For anything planned, report to the ECHS polyclinic you are attached to in Maharashtra. The polyclinic examines you and issues a referral to an empanelled facility. Going straight to a hospital for planned treatment is the single most common reason a claim is refused.
2. 2. Carry a valid Smart Card. The 64-KB ECHS Smart Card is what proves entitlement. If yours has expired or is still pending, sort it out before you need treatment — an expired card turns a cashless admission into a reimbursement claim.
3. 3. Check the MOA is current. Empanelment runs on short Memorandum-of-Agreement cycles that lapse on fixed dates. Every facility on this site shows its MOA validity; if it has lapsed, reconfirm on www.echs.gov.in before admission.
4. 4. In an emergency, go straight there. For a genuine emergency you may report directly to any empanelled hospital in Maharashtra without a referral — but inform your parent polyclinic within 48 hours, or the cashless claim can be rejected.
5. 5. Keep every document. Referral letter, discharge summary, investigation reports and bills. Even under cashless treatment, non-admissible items are billed to you directly.
