How CGHS Package Rates Work
A CGHS package rate is all-inclusive of admission, surgeon and anaesthetist charges, operation theatre, nursing, routine investigations, medicines and accommodation for the standard length of stay. A non-NABH hospital is paid 15% below the NABH rate, and for the specialities the memorandum names, a super-speciality hospital is paid 15% above it.
The figures on this page come from the Office Memorandum effective 13 October 2025. The published rate is the semi-private ward figure: a general-ward entitlement is 5% lower and a private-ward entitlement 5% higher, and hospitals in Tier II and Tier III cities are paid 10% and 20% less than in Tier I.

Planned major procedures need a referral from the CGHS wellness centre and prior permission. Emergency treatment at an empanelled hospital is reimbursed up to CGHS rates without prior permission.
