EPF and ESIC Scheme at a glance

ESIC Hospitals in the
Backward Areas

Employees’ State
Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has taken following steps to improve the condition
of ESI Hospitals:-

1.             ESIC has increased the ceiling on reimbursement
of expenditure on medical care from Rs. 1200/- to Rs. 1500/- per Insured
Person (IP) family unit per annum w.e.f. 01.04.2012. In addition Rs. 200/- per IP family unit per annum is also available to States
if bed occupancy in all State ESI Hospitals is more than 70% during last
completed year.
2.             Hospital Development Committee has been
constituted in each ESI Hospital and the Committee has been given adequate financial &
administrative powers for taking decisions for improvement in medical care
facilities.
3.             To facilitate early sanction of equipments,
State Medical Commissioner (SMC), ESIC has been delegated power to sanction
equipments up to Rs. 25 lakhs per unit at their level.
4.             ESIC has formulated norms and standards for
staff and equipments for smooth functioning of hospitals and dispensaries. For
ensuring regular supply of medicines, ESIC formulates rate contract for
allopathic and Ayurvedic drugs at Head Quarter level and the same is sent to all the State
Government for procurement of medicines for ESI beneficiaries.
5.             Up-gradation and modernisation of ESI Hospitals is undertaken in a phased
manner.
6.             The expenditure on super speciality treatment is being borne wholly by ESI
Corporation outside the ceiling since 01.08.2008. ESI has also entered into
tie- up arrangement with reputed Government/Private hospitals for super specialityservices and is providing cashless services to
the ESI beneficiaries.
7.             ESIC, in its meeting held in August 2009, has
decided that henceforth all new hospitals proposed and under construction will
be run directly by ESIC and total expenditure on these will be borne by ESIC.
8.             ESIC has recently opened five new hospitals.
9.             Functioning of Hospitals is being computerised.
To overcome shortage of specialists in State ESI Hospitals, ESIC
is appointing part-time specialist/supers specialists directly in State ESI
Hospitals to ensure that proper services are made available to ESI
beneficiaries.
(f): A provision of Rs. 2,107/- crore has been made for medical care expenditure
during current financial year i.e. 2012-13.
State-wise details of total number of employees registered under Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees’
State Insurance (ESI) schemes during the last three years are annexed (I &
II). Figures for the current year i.e. 2012-2013 have not been finalised.
(b):  State-wise details of
total contribution received by Employees’ Provident
Fund Organisation (EPFO) and Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) during
the last three years are annexed (III & IV). Figures for the current year
i.e. 2012-2013 have not been finalised.
(c):  The condition of ESI
Hospitals in the country is generally satisfactory.
This information was
given by the Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge in reply to a written question in the Lok Sabha today.
