District Hospital Khargone, on Sanawad Road in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, is a 300-bed government hospital serving Khargone district in western Madhya Pradesh (part of the Nimar region). Per the official district health page, it operates a trauma centre, services, a Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU), a 12-bed COVID-19 ICU, and a 100-bed maternity and child health centre, alongside 56 primary health centres and 364 sub-health centres across the wider district network.
The official district government website confirms the hospital's scope and contact details but does not publish OPD timings, a fee schedule, or an online appointment system. This guide describes the standard registration process honestly, along with cost expectations and government schemes that can help.
Registration and OPD fees at District Hospital Khargone
No OPD fee schedule or exact timing is published on the official district website. Confirm current fees and hours at the hospital's registration counter.
- OPD registration fee — District hospitals in Madhya Pradesh typically charge a small nominal registration fee at the counter. The exact current amount for District Hospital Khargone is not published online; confirm it on arrival.
- Trauma, dialysis, and maternity services — The hospital's trauma centre, dialysis unit, SNCU, and 100-bed maternity/child health centre operate at government rates. Ask at the billing counter whether your scheme card covers these specific services.
- Admission and inpatient care — As a 300-bed facility, inpatient care is billed at subsidised government rates. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY beneficiaries may have eligible procedures billed directly to the scheme — verify at admission.
Government schemes that help cover treatment
- Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY — As a government hospital, District Hospital Khargone is expected to accept Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, giving eligible families cashless inpatient and day-care treatment up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year. An Ayushman Bharat helpline (14555) is listed on the district health page; also check hospitals.pmjay.gov.in and pmjay.gov.in.
- Ayushman Bharat Niramayam (Madhya Pradesh) — The official Khargone district scheme page describes CMHO-administered financial assistance for BPL families, provided in tiers approved at the district, division, and state level for treatment costs. Apply at the Chief Medical & Health Officer's office (07282-235702) with a hospital treatment estimate and BPL documentation.
- CGHS and ECHS — CGHS Wellness Centres are concentrated in larger cities and are not confirmed to be present in Khargone. Check cghs.mohfw.gov.in for the nearest covered facility. Ex-servicemen under ECHS should confirm current empanelment with the nearest ECHS polyclinic.
- Ayush (traditional medicine) services — Khargone district also runs Ayurveda and Homeopathy services under a District Ayush Officer (dist.ayushkgn@gmail.com), alongside standard allopathic government care.
Rates shown are as per the District Khargone, Government of Madhya Pradesh — official district portal (2026) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
How to get an appointment at District Hospital Khargone
District Hospital Khargone does not appear to run a dedicated online OPD booking portal on the official district website. Patients register in person at the OPD counter on the day of their visit.
Carry a government photo ID such as an Aadhaar card, along with any previous prescriptions or reports for follow-up visits. If you were referred from one of Khargone district's 56 primary health centres or other health facilities, bring the referral slip.
For scheme-related queries, the Civil Surgeon's office at the District Hospital (07282-243454) and the CMHO office (07282-235702) can direct you to the right desk for Ayushman Bharat, BPL, or other assistance.
How long it takes to get seen
No specific OPD timing is published on the official district website for District Hospital Khargone, so this guide will not assert an exact hour-by-hour schedule. As with most Madhya Pradesh district hospitals, OPD registration counters generally operate on weekday and Saturday mornings, with daily token counts that are limited — arriving early improves the likelihood of same-day consultation.
As a 300-bed hospital with a trauma centre and dedicated maternity/child health centre serving a wide district network of 56 primary health centres, patient volumes can be significant, particularly for maternity, trauma, and dialysis services.
For emergencies, the trauma centre and hospital emergency department operate independently of routine outpatient registration; dial 108 for ambulance services anywhere in the district.
What treatment costs and financial help
As a government-run district hospital, District Hospital Khargone provides care at rates substantially lower than private facilities in the district. The exact OPD registration fee is not published online; expect a nominal charge, confirmed at the counter.
Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY beneficiaries can access cashless inpatient and day-care treatment for covered procedures, up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year, billed directly to the scheme. Madhya Pradesh's Ayushman Bharat Niramayam scheme, administered through the CMHO office, additionally provides tiered financial assistance for BPL families needing help with hospital treatment costs beyond routine OPD care — applications require a treatment estimate and BPL documents.
Patients without a scheme card facing financial hardship should speak with the hospital administration or the Khargone CMHO office (07282-235702) about district-level assistance.
