Dear Seniors,
Greetings for the day.
I have a query regarding ESIC. In my company, one worker took treatment for dengue fever from a private hospital without utilizing ESIC benefits in October due to his ignorance towards ESI benefits, even though he is listed in ESIC. His medical expenses exceed his paying capacity.
Now, we want to claim his medical expenses from the ESI department since we have been paying his contributions. Is it possible to claim his expenses from ESIC in this case? If so, what is the complete procedure for this?
Thank you.
Warm Regards,

Dear Friends,
We are in the fast food services industry with restaurants located all over India. One of my employees at the Ranchi restaurant was a victim of a robbery while returning home after a night shift, resulting in serious injuries from knife wounds on his head and neck. He is currently hospitalized at Raj Hospital and Research Centre in the ICU due to the severity of his condition.
The company has incurred costs amounting to Rs. 12,000 during his treatment. Following the incident, we submitted an accident report and informed the ESI Branch office, along with sending a letter of intimation to the Administrative Medical Officers at ESIC, Ranchi main office.
However, despite these actions, we have not received any support from ESIC. Can you please guide me on how to seek reimbursement from ESIC? I have the Reimbursement Form from ESI.
Thank you,

On the continuation of the previous case of the Ranchi incident, the private hospital was under ESIC Medical Super Speciality Hospital of Ranchi. We had approached them and tried to convince, but all efforts were in vain.

Dear Friends,
When sending the ESI-covered employee on official work to out-of-station locations, it is advisable to have the PEHACHAN CARD and carry ESI FORM - 105. This will enable the employee to utilize ESI benefits in case of illness or accidents, etc. A copy of Form - 105 is attached.

Dear All,
Thank you for your suggestions. They will help me a lot. When I visited the ESI dispensary, they said reimbursement is not possible because the IP is not referred by the ESI medical officer from his attached dispensary to the private doctor. Is there any clause like this in bill reimbursements? Should the IP first take a reference from the medical officer?
Thank you.

Hi,
I cannot exactly quote the clause, but I understand from the ESI officials that prior intimation is required. This is to avoid misuse of super specialty treatment, especially when treatment facilities are available in ESI hospitals. The concept is that if advanced treatment is not available at ESI hospitals, we can seek treatment in private hospitals with their reference. However, this is not strictly required in the case of accidents and critical illnesses.
