https://www.esic.nic.in/reimbursement
In case of you have visited any super specialty hospital or any other hospital in case of a medical emergency
A List of Types of cases for which reimbursement is permitted is given below:-
Reimbursement is permissible in case of failure of the mobile dispensary van due to technical defects or otherwise to adhere to its schedule timings or where IP attached to such a dispensary sustained serious injuries or suffered from serious illness during off hours of the dispensary.
IPs and their family members had to resort to private treatment during the off hours of ESI dispensary/Emergency Centre due to unavoidable circumstances.
Medicines prescribed by IMO/Specialist were out of stock in the ESI Dispensary/Approved Chemist thereby compelling the IPs to make purchases from the market.
Medicines prescribed by Specialist and not provided by the IMO/IMP and where specialist considered such special Medicines absolutely necessary for the treatment of the beneficiaries as no substitute medicine was considered equally efficacious whether as an out patient or in patient.
Special appliances prescribed by Specialist such as Spinal supports, Cervical Collars, Walking Callipers, and Crutches, etc. if considered necessary as part of the treatment.
Where an IMO/IMP failed to make domiciliary visit requested by an IP thereby compelling the IP to make private arrangement for treatment. Under the panel system such cost is recoverable from the IMP if recommended after investigation by the Medical Service Committee.
Serious cases of accident or illness admitted directly into recognised hospitals where owing to the clinical condition of the patient, being unconscious or otherwise, it was not possible to reveal his identity as an ESI patient and the hospital authorities recovered hospital expenses directly from the patient or the employer.
Serious cases of accident/illness where a beneficiaries was admitted directly at a private hospital or in a non-recognised hospital where admission in a hospital recognised under the scheme would have seriously jeopardised his health like sudden heart attacks, fracture of the spine, cerebral haemorrhage, etc.
Expenditure incurred on investigation for blood transfusion.
Mental cases that may have incurred expenditure either as an out patient on specialised Therapy such as ECT etc.
Serious cases of accident and illness admitted to recognised hospitals where all the reserved ESI beds were occupied.
Reimbursement of conveyance charges incurred by IP where ambulance or any other transport under the scheme is not available owing to some reason or the other and where in the opinion of the IMO/IMP such a patient was non-ambulatory.
In respect of Specialised examination, laboratory test, X-ray, other imaging services etc., recommended by specialist, but where the IP either due to the break down in the machinery or where the nature of the examination of the Laboratory Tests was such that it was beyond the scope of the facilities available in the recognised laboratory/hospital.
In addition to above types of cases, reimbursement may also be allowed in other cases depending upon the merits of each case and the circumstances under which expenditure was incurred.
Reimbursement of Conveyance Charges
In the absence of availability of an ambulance and where needed in an emergency, any other quick form of transport may be used and amount so spent subject to the maximum rate prescribed by the Government/Transport authority (both ways) is reimbursed to IPs.
To avoid hardship to IP and his family who have to go to any hospital or medical institution for admission, specialist consultation or investigation, but whose condition is not such as to need an ambulance, provision has been made for the payment of conveyance charges, if hospital/medical institution to which the case is referred to, is at an out-station or is at a distance of more than 8 kms from the ESI Dispensary or the clinic of the panel doctor. The charges are restricted to actual IInd class railway fare or cost of a single seat in public conveyance both ways whichever is feasible.
If the beneficiary is not in a fit condition to travel without escort for reasons to be recorded and so certified by IMO/IMP, the conveyance charges are also allowed for an escort.
The IMO/IMP should keep a separate account of such payments in the prescribed Register and send a quarterly statement of this expenditure to the Director/AMO by the 15th of the month following the quarter ending in March, June, Sept. and December. The returns received from different areas in the State may be consolidated area-wise by the Director/ AMO and quarterly statement sent to the Corporation.
The expenditure on conveyance charges forms part of the Medical Care under the E.S.I. Scheme and hence shareable between the Corporation and the State Government in the usual ratio within ceiling prescribed.
I hope this will be a helpful information for those who are trying to find some financial aid under ESI scheme after the critical medical situation over.
good luck
