I am a retired govt servant and live at Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. I am a patient of acute hypertension. On 30th Jan,2012, I suffered chest pain and epigastric uneasiness and went to the nearest hospital on CGHS panel i.e. Fortis, Vasant Kunj. After treating me in the Emergency Ward, I was admitted in the CCU ward. The cardiologist prescribed certain tests including endoscopy. But I was asked to deposit Rs. 5,000/- for this test because under the CGHS rules, the hospital is recognised only for cardiological problems and not for gastro-related diseases. I refused to undergo this test on the ground that I will get it done from the recognised hospital for the purpose. But I was charged Rs. 900/- as consultation fee by the endoscopy-conducting doctor. Out of about Rs. 10,000/- for one night stay, I had to shell about Rs. 5,000/- because even under the cardiology treatment, some treatment was not covered under the rules. This is ridiculous. Hospitals in emergency should be recognised for all purposes and not only for a particular disease. There is no general purpose hospital in Vasant Kunj area. Even there is no CGHS dispensary and we have to go to about 5 kms to RK Puram. For pensioners it is a great deal of hassle.
