CGHS Extends Timeline for Ayush Day Care Centers in Delhi/NCR

 

Important Update: CGHS Extends Timeline for AYUSH Day Care Centers in Delhi/NCR

The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) has issued a crucial extension for existing empanelled AYUSH Day Care Therapy Centers and Hospitals in Delhi/NCR region. This development brings relief to healthcare providers who were working under tight deadlines to comply with revised guidelines.

Key Details of the Extension

Original Deadline vs New Timeline
The AYUSH Day Care Therapy Centers and Hospitals that were already empanelled under CGHS in Delhi/NCR were initially given a 45-day period to accept revised Terms & Conditions and submit new Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) as per the Office Memorandum dated August 11, 2025.

However, the timeline has now been extended until December 31, 2025, or until further orders, whichever comes first.

Background and Context

Revised Guidelines Implementation
The extension stems from the revised guidelines for empanelment of private AYUSH Day Care Therapy Centers/Hospitals that were introduced through Office Memorandum No. 25-1/2018/CGHS/JD AYUSH dated August 11, 2025. These guidelines aimed to streamline and update the empanelment process for AYUSH healthcare facilities.

Industry Representations
The decision to extend the timeline came after several representations were received from healthcare providers requesting relaxation in certain parameters outlined in the revised guidelines. These requests are currently under review by CGHS and the Ministry of AYUSH.

What This Means for AYUSH Centers

Compliance Requirements
Existing empanelled AYUSH Day Care Therapy Centers and Hospitals in Delhi/NCR must:

  • Accept the revised Terms & Conditions

  • Submit new Memorandum of Agreement (MoA)

  • Complete all requirements before the new deadline of December 31, 2025

Continued Operations
During this extension period, the existing empanelled centers can continue their operations under CGHS, providing uninterrupted healthcare services to central government employees and their families.

Recent CGHS AYUSH Empanelment Activities

The healthcare landscape under CGHS has been quite active in 2025, with several significant developments:

New Empanelments in 2025

  • Multiple AYUSH Day Care Therapy Centers have been renewed for empanelment from August 2025 to June 2026

  • 16 new Healthcare Organizations (HCOs) were empanelled under CGHS Delhi & NCR in August 2025

  • Extension of AYUSH Hospitals/Centers empanelment was granted until July 31, 2026

Enhanced Requirements
Recent empanelments include new requirements such as:

  • Geo-tagging implementation with Geographic Information System (GIS)

  • Mandatory submission of geo-tagged photographic details during bill submissions

  • Both online (NHA portal) and offline submission requirements

Impact on Government Employees

This extension ensures that central government employees continue to have access to AYUSH healthcare services without any disruption. The 11 AYUSH Day Care Centers that were renewed in August 2025 include facilities offering Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy treatments across Delhi/NCR region.

Available Services
The empanelled centers provide various AYUSH treatments and therapies, supporting the government's initiative to integrate traditional Indian medicine systems with modern healthcare delivery under CGHS.

Looking Ahead

While the extension provides immediate relief, AYUSH healthcare providers should use this additional time effectively to:

  • Review and understand the revised guidelines thoroughly

  • Prepare necessary documentation for MoA submission

  • Ensure compliance with new requirements including geo-tagging systems

  • Address any concerns through proper channels before the December deadline

This extension reflects the government's commitment to maintaining quality AYUSH healthcare services while ensuring proper compliance and standardization across all empanelled facilities under the Central Government Health Scheme.

The development is particularly significant as it demonstrates the government's responsive approach to industry feedback while maintaining healthcare service continuity for central government employees and their families across the Delhi/NCR region.
