Tamil Nadu to Increase CMCHIS Insurance Coverage to ₹25 Lakh Soon
Tamil Nadu Health Minister K.G. Arunraj announced that the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS) coverage will increase from ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh without requiring new insurance cards. The premium is not expected to rise proportionally due to fewer advanced treatment claims. Expansion of IVF centres in district hospitals and review of chemotherapy drug shortages are underway. The minister also addressed public concerns about H1N1 and dengue, emphasizing precautionary measures during the monsoon season and increased fever testing.
