The Corporation has effected certain modifications in the scheme of
Reimbursement of expenses in case of High Cost/Protracted Treatment vide
circular CO/PER/ER-A/012/2012 dated 4.12. 2012. The modifications are as
follows:-
A. Addition of 5 more
major diseases to the list of 30 major diseases hitherto covered under the said
scheme. The diseases are:-
1. Messeric
Venous Thrombosis—Protein Deficiency.
2. Christmas disease.
3. Cerebral Palsy.
4. Myasthenia Gravis.
5. Pancreatitis.
B. Removal of
restriction of time limit of 180 days for re-imbursement of post-hospitalisation expenses for 4 more diseases in addition
to cancer & kidney transplant (for which the restriction was not applicable
already). The diseases are:-
1. Thalassemia
Major.
2. Coronary Artery Disease.
3. Chronic renal failure where transplant
is not done & require dialysis.
4. Brain surgery.
You may recall that NOINO has been
continuously striving to bring about changes / modifications in the said
scheme. We would like to reproduce the relevant part of the letter submitted by
us on 27.3.2012 to ED(P), Shri B Manivannan as well
as MD Shri Thomas Matthew T:-
“Removal of condition of time
restriction of 180 days :- At present, there is a time restriction of
180 days for claiming post-hospitalization expenses except for Cancer &
kidney transplant. We demand that this limit of 180 days should be removed for
all diseases/illnesses& the re-imbursement should be made till the full
amount of ex-gratia is exhausted”.
After submitting this letter, we have been
continuously raising this issue in our later meetings with the management. We
have followed up this issue as follows:-
1. With ED(P) Shri B Manivannan on 2.4.2012.
2. With MD Shri Sushobhan Sarker on 13.4.2012.
3. With ED(P) Shri M R Kumar on 2.7.2012 & 24.7.2012.
We
are aware that some more modifications are required. NOINO will strive to
bring about those modifications.
