Link CGHS Beneficiary ID with ABHA ID 2024
Government hospitals or facilities typically generate an ID using your name to preserve medical information. However, these IDs and medical records remain accessible only within that specific hospital or center. A unique ID is generated each time you visit a new hospital, wellness center, or program. Your responsibility as a patient is to manage and retain the various IDs and paperwork, ensuring you always have them with you. Nevertheless, each hospital or wellness facility must maintain and create a separate record of your health. The national government introduced the Ayushman Bharat Health Account to streamline the process and alleviate the burden on hospitals and patients. This single account can be utilized across all government schemes and hospitals. Each Ayushman Bharat Health Account card features a 14-digit ABHA ID number. Importantly, an ABHA number can be obtained at no cost.Benefits of CGHS ID Link with ABHA ID
