My father, a retired Central Government employee since December 2014, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (blood cancer) in May 2015. He received treatment at Mohandai Oswal Hospital in Ludhiana, followed by Medanta – The Medicity in Gurgaon. I’m seeking advice on whether there are any Central Government rules or acts that allow for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred during his treatment.

Under the Central Civil Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944, retired Central Government employees are eligible for reimbursement of medical expenses for certain conditions. However, the specific conditions covered and the reimbursement amount are subject to several factors, including the employee’s length of service, the nature of the illness, and the treatment received. It’s best to consult the specific rules or seek guidance from the concerned department for accurate information regarding your father’s situation.
