On ECHS Online Portal How to Claim Cost of Not Available Medicines

NA Medicine Reimbursement in ECHS Online Portal : Detailed Process

by

The Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) in India provides comprehensive healthcare facilities to retired armed forces personnel and their dependents. ECHS allows its beneficiaries to claim reimbursement for expenses incurred on purchasing medicines not available at ECHS polyclinics or empanelled hospitals. 

To avail of this facility, beneficiaries need to submit a reimbursement claim online for non-availability (NA) medicines. These are medicines prescribed by an ECHS doctor but are not stocked in ECHS dispensaries. The process usually involves submitting the prescription along with the original bill and a non-availability certificate from the ECHS dispensary to the respective ECHS regional centre. Upon verification, the reimbursement is provided to the beneficiary.
