West Bengal Health Scheme

West Bengal Health Scheme is a full-service health plan that gives the insured the best medical care possible by offering the best discounts and cashless services. In the last ten years, the West Bengal Health Scheme has changed so that government workers and retirees can get better health care.

Note that you must give the Health Care Organisation an enrollment certificate (HCO) to get benefits from a policy. But there is no need to get pre-authorization to use cashless medical services inside. The medical bill will show all the costs when the patient leaves the hospital.

 

The objective of the West Bengal Health Scheme

The West Bengal healthcare scheme offers Cashless Treatment and tries to give state government employees and retirees the best help they can get in terms of medical and health care. People on the current WBHS Hospital List 2023 get their pre- and post-hospitalization costs covered for up to 30 days.
