SILK Surgery for CGHS Card Holders with HexaHealth

HexaHealth itself does not directly conduct surgeries. Instead, we are a healthcare platform that helps patients access a wide network of hospitals and experienced doctors for various treatments, including advanced eye surgeries.

Understanding CGHS Coverage for SILK Surgery

• CGHS Empanelment : CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) typically covers treatments at hospitals that are empanelled under the scheme.
• Procedure Specifics : Coverage for advanced elective procedures like SILK surgery can sometimes vary. It often depends on whether the specific procedure is listed and approved under CGHS guidelines for a particular empanelled hospital.
