How ECHS cashless treatment works

1. Register your ECHS 64Kb Smart Card at your parent polyclinic in Kochi.
2. Visit the polyclinic for consultation; the medical officer refers you to an empanelled hospital if needed.
3. Carry the referral and ECHS card to the empanelled hospital of your choice from the list above.
4. The hospital bills ECHS directly — you pay nothing for treatment covered under ECHS rates.
5. For emergencies, go straight to an empanelled hospital and inform your polyclinic within 48 hours.

Empanelment in Kochi runs under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with fixed validity dates — the facilities in the list above carry MOAs valid into 2026. Because the network is reviewed periodically, always reconfirm current empanelment and MOA validity on echs.gov.in before you travel for treatment.
