What Does "IMP" Mean in the ESI Portal? Understanding Your ESIC TIC Card Options

Understanding IMP Under the ESI

What is "IMP" under the ESI? When taking the ESIC TIC card in the ESI Portal, it shows "Dispensary or IMP."

IMP - Insurance Medical Practitioners

Yes, it will show where the dispensary is or IMP.

"IMP" means Insurance Medical Practitioner. When a private doctor is engaged by ESIC for providing medical treatment to the insured persons and their families residing in an area, he is called an Insurance Medical Practitioner (IMP).

So far as I know, the engagement of such private doctors is limited to very few states, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal.
