Aizawl, Sep 4 : The state government today announced that the revived Mizoram Health Care Schemes came into effect from September 1.
''Patients admitted to the hospital on or after September 1, 2010 can claim medical re-imbursement under the health care schemes,'' a government official statement said today.
The facility does not apply to those who have not enrolled for the scheme.
The Mizoram Health Care Scheme (MHCS) aims to provide health care cover of Rs one lakh floater for one family per year and also families who are not entitled to state medical reimbursement for government employees and their dependents.
In addition, the state government had also introduced the centrally-sponsored Rastrya Swastha Bhima Yojana that aims to provide health insurance cover to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families at Rs 30,000 floater per family per year.
Both the MHCS and RSBY will function under one third party administrator and one insurance company.
The major portion of funds required for the MHCS will be made available from Asian Development Bank.
The funds earmarked for the scheme, which is 25 million US dollars, will be converted into corpus fund by the Finance Department and the interest will be utilized for payment of MR Bills of the beneficiaries.
The medical reimbursement is available at all government hospitals and six private hospitals - Presbyterian Hospital, Aizawl; Christian Hospital, at Serkawn and Lunglei; Adventist Hospital, at Aizawl and Champhai; Lairam Christian Medical Center and Christian Hospital, Lawngtlai and Evangelical Church of Maraland, Saiha.
The other private hospitals are yet to accept the government-offered rates.
