How OPD appointment booking works in Rajasthan

Booking an OPD appointment at a government hospital in Rajasthan can be done in a few ways. Central government institutions like AIIMS Jodhpur use the national Online Registration System (ORS) portal at ors.gov.in. Many state-run medical colleges and hospitals also offer online registration through their specific web portals. For all hospitals, there is the option of on-site registration at the hospital's OPD counters on the day of the visit.

Whether booking online or in person, you will typically need a valid mobile number and a government-issued photo ID like an Aadhaar card for patient verification. A nominal one-time registration fee is usually charged for a new OPD card, which is valid for a set period for follow-up visits in the same department. It is useful to carry your old OPD card for any subsequent visits.

For follow-up appointments, the process may differ. The consulting doctor often provides a date for the next visit on the prescription slip or OPD card. Patients may need to show this at a specific counter or directly in the department on the scheduled day, rather than going through the new registration process again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to visit an OPD in a Rajasthan government hospital?

For most general OPDs, such as General Medicine or General Surgery, a referral is typically not required. Patients can register directly. However, to consult a super-speciality department like Cardiology or Neurology, you may first need to be examined in a general OPD and then be referred internally by a doctor from that department.

How can I use my health scheme card, like the Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Yojana, at these hospitals?

Government hospitals in Rajasthan have dedicated help desks or counters for beneficiaries of schemes like the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY and the state's Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Swasthya Bima Yojana. Patients should carry their scheme card and Aadhaar card and approach these desks for information on availing cashless services for consultations, diagnostics, and treatments as per scheme guidelines.

What are the general OPD hours in Rajasthan government hospitals?

OPD timings often vary between hospitals and may change with the season, with different schedules for summer and winter. Generally, registration counters open in the morning, around 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM, and close by early afternoon. It is always a good practice to check the specific hospital's schedule before your visit to avoid any inconvenience.
