How to get an appointment at RBM Hospital, Bharatpur

OPD registration at RBM Hospital is handled in person at the hospital's registration counters. Bring a valid photo ID, and for follow-up visits, your previous prescription and test reports.

Because OPD schedules and token arrangements at government hospitals are periodically revised, it is worth calling ahead or checking the hospital's notice board on arrival to confirm current timings, whether a token system is in place for your department, and whether same-day appointments are available.

Patients holding a government scheme card — RGHS, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, or CGHS — should bring it to the registration counter for verification.

How long it takes to get seen

As a tertiary-care referral hospital for Bharatpur district, RBM Hospital sees a substantial daily OPD load. Arriving early within the OPD registration window generally improves the chances of being seen the same day.

Waiting time between registration and consultation can vary depending on the department and the day's patient volume, with general departments typically seeing longer queues.

For urgent conditions, proceed directly to the hospital's 24x7 emergency and trauma department rather than the routine OPD queue.

What treatment costs and financial help

As a Rajasthan state government hospital, RBM Hospital provides OPD, diagnostic, and inpatient services at rates considerably lower than private hospitals in the region. The exact OPD registration fee is not published online; confirm the current amount at the counter.

Rajasthan state government employees, pensioners, and eligible dependants can access cashless treatment under RGHS, based on CGHS package rates, across government hospitals statewide. Families covered under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY can separately access cashless inpatient and day-care treatment, up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year, at empanelled hospitals.

Patients who do not hold a scheme card and face financial hardship should approach the hospital's medical social welfare or enquiry counter to ask about any fee concessions that may apply.

RBM Hospital, the teaching hospital for Government Medical College, Bharatpur, runs OPD and inpatient services across General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Dermatology, Psychiatry, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Anaesthesiology, along with diagnostic departments such as Radiodiagnosis, Pathology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Forensic Medicine.
