Facts:
- CGHS empanelment ka nodal assessment body NABH hi hai — private dental clinic ko CGHS empanelment ke liye NABH ke online portal (ece.nabh.co) se apply karna hota hai. Fee ₹25,000 + GST, DD 'Quality Council of India' ke naam.
- NABH accreditation hona empanelment ke liye zaroori NAHI — desh me ~415 CGHS-empanelled dental clinics hain (41 cities), jinme ~140 (34%) hi NABH-accredited hain.
- PAR rate ka fark bada hai: Oct 2025 ke revised CGHS framework me non-NABH ko NABH se 15% kam milta hai, aur city-tier bhi lagta hai (Tier-I NABH ₹1,000 → non-NABH Tier-I ₹850 → NABH Tier-II ₹900 → NABH Tier-III ₹800).
- 2025 rules: NABH/NABL rate sirf UN procedures pe milta hai jo accreditation SCOPE me hain — partial scope se poora premium nahi milta, isliye certificate me saari specialties included karwana better hai.
- CGHS standalone dental centres ko actively empanel karta hai — Delhi-NCR ne 2026 me 140 naye exclusive dental centres empanel kiye.
Matlab: empanelment bina NABH ke ho sakta hai, par har bill pe 15% kaat khaoge. High CGHS-volume city me ho to NABH ka kharcha jaldi recover ho jata hai.
