New Delhi [India], April 23: In a move set to benefit thousands of central government employees, pensioners, and their families in Ghaziabad and the National Capital Region, Dental Park – Dental & Maxillofacial Centre has been officially empanelled under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), according to the latest notification from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Office Memorandum F. No.50/CGHS(HQ)/HEC/2024-Part(1)).

The empanelment, effective from December 19, 2024, means CGHS beneficiaries can now access all available dental care facilities at Dental Park on the terms and conditions of the CGHS empanelled centre in Delhi and NCR. The announcement comes as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to expand the CGHS network, ensuring beneficiaries have access to high-quality healthcare closer to home.

Expansion of CGHS Network in Delhi-NCR

The Ministry’s notification issued by the Office of the Additional Director, CGHS Headquarters, New Delhi, lists Dental Park among eleven new healthcare organizations—including dental clinics, eye centres, and diagnostic laboratories—added to the CGHS panel for Delhi and NCR.

The move reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening its healthcare delivery system for central government employees, pensioners, and their dependents. With limited availability of CGHS empanelled Dental clinic in Ghaziabad, the addition of Dental Park further boosts the region’s capacity to offer specialized Dental and Maxillofacial services to CGHS beneficiaries.

How the Empanelment Benefits CGHS Beneficiaries

CGHS beneficiaries—comprising serving and retired central government employees, ex-MPs, Press Information Bureau’s accredited Journalists, freedom fighters, and their dependents—are entitled to a range of healthcare services, including outpatient consultations, specialist care, dental procedures, and advanced diagnostics at empanelled private facilities.

With Dental Park’s inclusion, beneficiaries in Ghaziabad and the surrounding areas can now avail themselves of:

• Cashless dental treatment for pensioners and other eligible categories, reducing the financial burden on senior citizens and their families.
• Direct access to specialist care: Patients can receive treatment for all dental and maxillofacial procedures covered under CGHS from Senior MDS Specialists at Dental Park.
• Convenient Location of empanelled Dental Clinic: Dental Park is located at Shastri Nagar, Ghaziabad, which is 10 minutes walking distance from CGHS Wellness Centre at Kamla Nehru Nagar, which makes it convenient for the CGHS Beneficiaries.
• Availability of Evening OPD: Dental Park is open from morning 8:30 am to 2 pm and in the evening from 4 pm to 9 pm. Furthermore, Dental Park is open on Saturdays and Sundays. Availability of Evening OPD Hours and weekends helps CGHS beneficiaries to avail Dental Treatment at their Convenient time.

This development is expected to significantly cut down waiting times and travel for beneficiaries, who previously had to seek care at distant or overcrowded facilities.
