What Central Government Employees Need to Know
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries in Kanpur have been informed of the de-empanelment of Family Hospital and Research Center, Kanpur, effective midnight on 25 September 2025. This decision follows a vigilance-driven audit that found the hospital submitted fraudulent medical bills on multiple occasions.
Key Points
- 1. Reason for De-empanelment
A committee appointed by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) and Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) audited CGHS bills of several empanelled hospitals in Kanpur. It discovered that Family Hospital and Research Center had uploaded fabricated bills for two beneficiaries on three separate occasions, violating its agreement with CGHS. - 2. Effective Date
The hospital’s de-empanelment takes effect at 12:00 AM on 25 September 2025. From this timestamp:- The hospital cannot admit new CGHS-covered patients.
- No diagnostic, OPD, or IPD services will be approved for CGHS beneficiaries at this facility.
- 3. Instructions for the Hospital
A penalty of 15 percent of its security deposit has been imposed. The hospital must refund ₹44,696 (amount paid against fraudulent bills) by demand draft in favor of “AD, CGHS, Kanpur.”
Existing in-patients may continue treatment until discharge; their claims must be submitted within 15 days on the NHA Portal or they will be disallowed. - 4. Impact on CGHS Beneficiaries
Immediate Action: Beneficiaries currently receiving treatment at this hospital can continue until they are stable.
Alternative Facilities: New patients must seek treatment at other CGHS-empanelled hospitals in Kanpur. A full list of CGHS hospitals is available on the CGHS Kanpur website.
Claims Submission: Already admitted patients’ claims must be uploaded within 15 days to avoid rejection.

Why This Matters
Central government employees rely on CGHS for cashless treatment and reimbursement of medical expenses. De-empanelment of a major hospital ensures fund safety and fraud prevention but requires beneficiaries to adjust their treatment plans promptly.
