CGHS beneficiaries: Hospital claims to be rejected without geo-tagged photo upload in these cases, revised rules issued

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has eased geo-tagging rules for CGHS, offering hospitals a one-time waiver on daily photo uploads until 2025. Revised guidelines now require geo-tagged photos only at admission and discharge for non-referral IPD cases, with additional photos every 7 days for longer stays.
