Order :-In the reference first cited, the Accountant-General, Andhra Pradesh, I Hyderabad has suggested amendments to the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, 1972 and has requested the Government to issue specific instructions to all the drawing and disbursing officers/all the Treasury Officers and the Pay and Accounts Officers to treat Medical Advance like advance of T.A. and Pay on transfer. 2. The matter has been considered carefully, keeping in the changed conditions the Drawing and Disbursing Officers, and the Treasury Officers and the Pay and Accounts Officers are hereby directed to treat the advance for Medical treatment as an advance of T.A. and Pay on transfer and efforts shall be made that such an advance for Medical treatment is adjusted within the time stipulated, avoid probable objections at a later date. 3. Advances for Medical Treatment [Memo. No. 39027/724/BG/82, F.& P. (Fin. Wing-B.G.), Dt. 21-9- 1982] Ref. :-G.O.Ms.No. 1274, M. & H., Dt, 29-12-1978. Order :-Under the revised accounting classification which has come into force with effect from 1-4-1974, the expenditure on Medical advances was being classified under "766. Loans to Government Servants-MH. 25 Other Advances, SH (03) Advances for Medical attendance and treatment. But in consultation with the Accountant-General, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad certain amendments were issued to the A.P. Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, 1972, through the reference cited. Among other things it was also ordered therein that the Medical advances shall be treated like advances of Travelling Allowance and pay on transfer and the recovery must be affected by adjustment from the claim for reimbursement of medical expenses. Even though orders have been issued to the above effect, it has been brought to the notice of the Government that the Medical advances are still being accounted for under "Loans and Advances". 2. The Director of Treasuries and Accounts is therefore requested to issue suitable instructions to all District Treasury Officers to adopt the revised classification debiting the expenditure on Medical advances to the Service head of account instead of Loans and Advances head of account. 4. Reimbursement of Medical expenditure - Instructions [U.O. Note No. 3142/K1/85-1, M. & H, Dt. 17-4-1986] Order :-According to Rule 5(3) (ii) of the Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, all claims for refund of expenses incurred on account of the purchase of the special medicines should be preferred in the manner indicated in Appendix-Ill. According to Para 2 (ii) of the said Appendix, the reimbursement bills arising in the Hyderabad City will be scrutinised and passed for payment by the Superintendents of the concerned Hospitals. According to Para 4 of the said Appendix, claims for reimbursement should be accompanied by an Essentiality Certificate from the Authorised Medical Attendant or from the Medical Officer in-charge of the case in the hospital. 2. With reference to the provisions referred to in Para 1 above, employees, of various departments of Secretariat are claiming reimbursement of expenditure incurred by them on medicines for treatment of self and family members on the basis of essentiality certificate and certificate of non-availability of the drugs given by the Authorised Medical Attendant of the concerned Hospital and sometimes certificate of non-availability of these drugs in the Secretariat dispensary, issued by the Medical Officer of Secretariat Dispensary. The Departments of Secretariat are referring such claims for reimbursement of expenditure to the Medical and Health Department for concurrence. Reference of such cases to this department has been on the increase resulting in avoidable work load in this department and delay in reimbursing the claims. The Secretariat departments are therefore informed that the proposals for sanction of reimbursement of expenditure incurred by Government Servants which are in accordance with the provisions of rules referred to in Para 1 above, Viz., the calims for reimbursement of expenditure for treatment in Government Hospitals within the State which are accompanied by an Essentiality Certificate and certificate of non-availability of medicines from the Authorised Medical Attendant and when they are satisfied that the claim is in accordance with the provisions in Appendix-III to Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, 1972, need not be referred to Medical and Health Department for remarks/acceptance. This applies to the cases referred by Heads of Departments to the Administrative Departments of Secretariat also. 3. However as provided in the note under Para 2 (ii) of the Appendix - III to the Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, 1972, all cases requiring Special sanction or relaxation ; clarification or interpretation of the State Medical Attendance Rules should be referred to this department invariably. 5.

In the reference third read above, Secretary, the Hyderabad Pensioners Association, Hyderabad has represented that pensioners are likely to fall sick frequently due to their old age and require medical attention and that due to meagre pension they cannot afford to spend huge amounts towards medical treatment. He has therefore requested that free medical aid, in all General Hospitals under the control of Government and Super Specialities Hospitals including Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, may be provided and necessary orders will be issued in this regard. 3.

Employees and their dependents - Reimbursement of expenditure - Simplification of procedure - Orders - Issued [G.O.Ms.No. 445, HM&FW(E2), Dt. 19-7-1991] Ref. :-G.O.Ms.No. 609, HM&FW, Dt. 21-11-1988. Order :-1. The Government have, for sometime, been considering simplification of the procedure for treatment of Government Servants at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences. The procedure has been outlined in the G.O. cited. Presently the Ni/am's Institute of Medical Sciences is regarded as referral hospital subject to the following conditions :- (a) The Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences will be a referral hospital other than for emergencies. (b) Referral of patients to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences should be from the teaching hospital with the approval of the Head of the Departments/Speciality concerned. (c) The referring hospital should ensure that facilities available in that hospital are fully utilised in the first instance ; and (d) The referring hospitals should refer the cases with all details including a referral summary. 2. Under the present procedure, the teaching hospitals in the State are referring cases of Government Servants requiring specialised treatment to the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences whenever facilities are not available with them for treatment of various ailments. The sanction of expenditure for treatment incurred at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences is being regulated in terms of the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules, 1972. These rules require that the bills of Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences should be scrutinised by the Director of Medical Education before sanction is accorded for payment by the concerned Heads of Departments. 3. The above procedure has been found to be cumbersome and there are some cases of delay in the referral of even emergency cases to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences by the teaching hospitals. The procedure of pre-scrutiny of bills by the Director of Medical Education is also causing delays. 4. After due consideration, it has been decided that Government Employees or their dependants can obtain treatment at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences directly for the following ailments ("earmarked categories"). In respect of these cases, referral by a teaching hospital will not be required. (a) Acute Mycardial Infraction (Cardiology Department) (b) Acute renal failure (Nephrology Department) (c) Severe cases of head and spinal injury (Neuro-Surgery Department) (d) Cases of Coma (Neurology Department) 5. With regard to the above earmarked categories, the following procedure shall be followed :- (a) The Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences need not insist on advance payment by the Government Servants and may commence treatment immediately taking into account the seriousness of the case. (b) The Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences should prepare an estimate of the approximate expenditure for the treatment and hand it over to the concerned Government Employee who, in turn may apply for advance to the concerned Head of Department. The estimate of expenditure shall be calculated only with respect to items reimbursable under the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules. This has to be ensured by Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences. After the advance is sanctioned the amount of advance shall be made over by the Head of Department directly to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences. Normally, the Head of Department should ensure that the amount sanctioned as advance reaches Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences within a period of 15 days. The amount of advances drawn shall be adjusted by preferring claims by the respective departments with the necessary certificates and vouchers. (c) Orders delegating powers to Heads of Departments for drawing of advances are being issued separately. (d) It will no longer be necessary to get the bills scrutinsed by the Director of Medical Education. The Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences shall take necessary steps to scrutinise the bills in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules and forward them for payment to the Head of the Department concerned. The bills so sent must relate only to items of expenditure admissible under the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules. (e) The Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences must make its own arrangements with the Government Employee concerned for payment with regard to items of expenditure in the bill which are inadmissible under the Andhra Pradesh Integrated Medical Attendance Rules. Likewise, the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences must make its own arrangements with the Government Employee concerned for payment of bills in excess of Rs. 40,000/- which is the limit for reimbursement of medical expenses incured by a Government Servant. 6. With regard to any matter not covered by the above procedure, the provisions of the G.O. cited shall continue to apply. In respect of the other cases, viz., cases not falling under any of the above earmarked categories, the existing instructions issued in the G.O. cited will continue to be in force. 11. NIMS - Medical treatment of Govt. employees and their dependents -Reimbursement of expenditure - Simplification of procedure - Regarding (Letter No. 2706/K1/92-1, HM & FW Dept, Dt. 30-1-1992) Ref. :- G.O.Ms.No. 445, HM & FW, Dt. 19-7-91. Order :-In the G.O. cited, orders have been issued identifying the earmarked ailments one each in the Departments of Cardiology, Nephrology, Neuro-surgery and Neurology of Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences in which the Government employees and their dependents have been permitted to approach the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences directly for the treatment without reference from teaching hospitals in the State. It is however noticed that the cases received from other Departments for various other ailments, the Government employees and their dependents are directly approaching the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences for treatment i.e., other than those identified as mentioned above and others obtaining the estimates for the treatment and approaching the government for sanction of advance to obtain treatment or for reimbursement for the treatment already obtained. In the Estimation Certificates/Bills issued by the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences authorities, there is no indication as to whether or not, the ailments for which treatment is sought for or obtained are those identified for the treatment in Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences as provided in para 4 of G.O.Ms.No. 445, H.M. & F.W., Dt. 19-7-1991. In the absence of such information, it has become necessary to enter into correspondence with the Departments and Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences tO Obtain the exact position in terms of the aforesaid orders thereby resulting in delay in settlement of medical claims of the employees consequently a subject of criticism. 2. With a view to avoid correspondence and consequential delay in settlement of medical claims of the Government employees/pensioners, I am directed to request you kindly to incorporate in the estimation certificate to be sent or on the medical bills to be given by Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences to the Government employees or retired Government employees, as the case may be, a certificate whether or not the case is covered by the orders issued in G.O.Ms.No. 445.
