The list of CGHS Bhopal empanelled hospitals just got longer. In an office order dated 3 July 2026, the Additional Director, CGHS Bhopal, approved the fresh empanelment of two private Health Care Organisations (HCOs) — giving CGHS card holders in Bhopal and Indore two more NABH-accredited hospitals to choose from. Here is the full break-up of the order, the effective dates, and what it means for beneficiaries.
CGHS Bhopal Empanelled Hospitals — July 2026 list
The two newly empanelled Health Care Organisations are:
| Hospital | City | Accreditation | Effective date | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silverline Hospital | Bhopal | NABH | 2 July 2026 | Multispeciality |
| ASG Eye Hospital | Indore | NABH | 1 July 2026 | Ophthalmology |
Both hospitals are NABH-accredited — a core eligibility condition for CGHS empanelment — and are now part of the CGHS network for the region.
Details of the office order
- Issued by: Office of the Additional Director, Central Govt. Health Scheme (CGHS), Bhopal.
- Order No.: 2(28)/Estt/CGHS/BPL/2025-26, dated 3 July 2026.
- Reference: Ministry's O.M. F.No. 5-34/CGHS/HEC (HQ)/2025 dated 22 December 2025.
- Validity: the empanelment is valid for three (3) years from the date of issue of the order.
- Signed by: Dr. Sangeeta Sikarwar, Additional Director, CGHS Bhopal.
The order also makes clear that the empanelled HCOs must strictly comply with all the terms and conditions of the Ministry's Office Memorandum dated 22 December 2025 — any deviation or non-compliance can invite action, including de-empanelment.
What this means for CGHS beneficiaries
For CGHS card holders — both serving Central Government employees and pensioners — empanelment matters because it decides where you can get treated on CGHS terms. Once a hospital is empanelled:
- You can avail cashless treatment (for pensioners and specified categories) or credit/reimbursement treatment at CGHS-approved package rates.
- Treatment is taken on a valid referral from your CGHS Wellness Centre, except in emergencies.
- The hospital agrees to CGHS rates and billing rules, protecting beneficiaries from over-charging.
With Silverline Hospital (multispeciality) in Bhopal and ASG Eye Hospital (ophthalmology) in Indore added, beneficiaries in Madhya Pradesh now have a wider choice for both general and eye care.
How to use an empanelled hospital
- Confirm the hospital is currently empanelled on the official CGHS portal, cghs.mohfw.gov.in.
- Get a referral from your CGHS Wellness Centre for the treatment or specialist you need.
- Carry your CGHS card and referral to the hospital; pensioners are generally entitled to cashless treatment.
- For emergencies, you can approach an empanelled hospital directly and complete the paperwork afterwards.

Why CGHS empanelment updates matter
CGHS hospital empanelment is not permanent — hospitals are added, and sometimes de-empanelled, through orders exactly like this one. That is why beneficiaries should always check the current empanelment status before planning treatment, especially for a planned surgery or a major procedure. A hospital that was on the panel last year may have exited it, while a newly empanelled one — such as Silverline or ASG Eye — may have just joined. Relying on an outdated list can mean losing the cashless facility or the fixed CGHS package rate. The safe habit is to confirm on the official CGHS portal or with your Wellness Centre a day or two before you go.
