ECHS Empanelment
What is ECHS Hospital Empanelment?
ECHS Hospital Empanelment involves process through which hospitals, clinics, & diagnostic centers are evaluated & enlisted as healthcare service providers under the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS). The empanelment process involves a thorough evaluation of the healthcare service provider’s facilities, services, & expertise, as well as an inspection by a team of experts.
The main aim of ECHS Hospital Empanelment is to ensure that the enlisted hospitals & clinics provide quality medical care to ECHS beneficiaries. The empanelment process includes a detailed evaluation of the healthcare service provider’s infrastructure, facilities, quality of medical care, & financial viability.
The hospitals & clinics seeking empanelment under ECHS must meet the eligibility criteria set by the scheme. These criteria include the following:
- The healthcare service provider should be registered with the relevant government authority & have a valid license to operate.
- The hospital should have adequate infrastructure, including medical equipment, beds, & qualified staff.
- The healthcare service provider should have a dedicated emergency department, laboratory, & radiology facilities.
- The hospital or clinic should maintain a high standard of medical care & adhere to the ECHS quality standards.
- The healthcare service provider should have a transparent billing system & not overcharge the beneficiaries.
- The hospital or clinic should have a patient grievance redressal mechanism in place.
Once the hospital or clinic has been evaluated & meets the eligibility criteria, it is empanelled as an ECHS healthcare service provider. Empanelment allows the hospital or clinic to provide cashless medical treatment to ECHS beneficiaries & receive timely reimbursement for the services rendered.
About ECHS
The Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) is a health insurance scheme launched by the Indian Government to provide comprehensive medical care facilities to retired armed forces personnel, their dependents, & widows. The scheme was introduced in 2003 & is funded by contributions from the armed forces personnel.
The ECHS covers a wide range of medical services, including consultations with medical specialists, diagnostic tests, hospitalization, & emergency medical services. The scheme also provides preventive health services, including health education, immunization, & family welfare services.
The scheme is managed by the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare & is implemented through a network of polyclinics, hospitals, & diagnostic centers across India. The scheme is available in more than 450 cities and towns across India, & the coverage includes more than 54 lakh beneficiaries.
The ECHS provides cashless medical treatment to its beneficiaries at empanelled hospitals & clinics.

The scheme also provides a reimbursement facility for beneficiaries who seek treatment from non-empanelled facilities.
