Introduction The Government Health Scheme (RGHS) was introduced by the Rajasthan Government on 9 April 2021 to bring medical benefits for various eligible categories under a common healthcare system. It is implemented by the Rajasthan State Health Assurance Agency (RSHAA) under the Medical and Health Department, Rajasthan. The scheme covers eligible serving employees, pensioners, family pensioners, public representatives, judicial officers, All India Services officers and notified employees of autonomous bodies, boards and corporations. Eligible dependants may also receive benefits according to the rules applicable to their family category. RGHS provides cashless treatment at government and empanelled healthcare facilities. Benefits include approved inpatient treatment, day-care procedures, diagnostic investigations, outpatient medicines and specified AYUSH services. The supplied scheme information mentions annual coverage of ₹5 lakh for new beneficiaries, with additional provisions for specified catastrophic illnesses. State Autonomous Body beneficiaries have separate coverage provisions, including an OPD component. Beneficiaries can register through the Rajasthan Single Sign-On (SSO) portal and access their RGHS e-card online. Treatment, medicine availability, hospital entitlements and reimbursement are governed by the applicable category rules and approved package rates.
