In view of the practical problems faced by the employees in the cashless health cover plan issued by the government, the secretary health Amit Singh Negi would hold discussions with the representatives of different associations of employees on February 20.
The meeting would be held at the office of the Golden Card, at IT Park. The general secretary of the Uttaranchal (parvatiya) Karmchari Shikshak Sangathan, Pancham Singh Bisht said that the state administration has already been informed about the problems faced by the employees in the Golden Card scheme. He said that the number of hospitals in panels should be increased and renowned super speciality centres like Max hospital and Kailash hospital should be included in the panel. Bisht added that the panelled hospitals are treating only one disease under the scheme which is wrong.
He demanded that the compulsion of referral should be removed in the scheme. He added that a similar premium is being charged from the pensioners and serving employees which is creating problems for the pensioners.
