Understanding ESIC Benefits: Can Employees Get Treatment at Any ESIC Hospital?

Dear Sir,

Under the ESIC Act of 1948, ESIC-covered employees can receive treatment at any ESIC hospital or ESIC dispensary other than an IP-linked hospital.

Thanks,
Narender

IP needs to get treated only in ESI-linked hospitals. Otherwise, IP needs to obtain permission from the ESI Office to get treated in hospitals other than ESIC Hospitals, and only then can IP claim reimbursement.

Dear Prashant Sir,

Thank you for your valuable advice. My question pertains to my ESIC IP form where the dispensary name provided is Gaytri Sharma. I am seeking clarification on whether I can receive treatment at any ESIC hospital across India, other than the Gaytri Sharma dispensary.

Thank you.

Dear Narender,

To answer your question, we need some more information:
1. Why do you want to go to another ESI dispensary? There must be a reason behind it. Please share the same.
2. There is a possibility to receive treatment other than at the given ESI dispensary.

Regards,
