ECHS – Guidelines for Oncology-Related Claims Settlement

March 13, 2023 Eliza

The Central Organisation ECHS (Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme) has issued an advisory to all Regional Centres regarding the settlement of claims related to oncology treatment. The organisation has observed a rise in the proportion of expenditure on investigation and treatment for oncology-related cases at empanelled hospitals. This increase may have an impact on bill settlement for other health conditions, considering the fiscal limitations. The advisory suggests measures to check unnecessary investigations and chemotherapy, such as uploading vial wrappers, using Aprepitant Inj for multi-drug chemotherapy, and obtaining approval from Sr Adv (Oncology) for cancer-specific investigations above 2 Lakh that are unlisted and not only SEMO. The Regional Centres are requested to forward the advisory to all healthcare organizations under their jurisdiction for implementation regarding oncology-related bills processing. The advisory has the approval of MD ECHS.
