Hi,
For the last two years, a component of ESI has been deducted from my salary. My salary increased in the month of August, and the ESI deductions will continue until October. My father is suffering from hepatitis C and is undergoing a costly 6-month treatment which is covered by ESI.
I am concerned about what will happen after October. Will the treatment still be covered, or will there be changes in coverage?

Hi Akasri, Don’t worry, ESI is obligated by ACT and Govt to provide your parents with full treatment. Ukmitra

Dear All,
An ongoing treatment can't be curtailed merely because of contributory norms. The ESIC will extend its help until the end of the treatment. Hence, there is no need to worry about this. We all here wish your father "good health and a long, healthy life."

Are you sure about this?
ESIC is a contributory health cover. Once the person being treated is no longer a member of the scheme, how or why will they continue treatment? The doctor may still see and advise the patient (I have doubts since he needs to quote the ESIC number), but the medicines will definitely not be provided for free. Please tell me where in the ESIC rules it is stated that the treatment once begun must be continued.

Dear Saswata Banerjee,
I have read about this continued treatment some time ago, and I am confident about it. I researched and found the following information:
"Medical treatment for Insured Persons who are no longer covered by the scheme. During the treatment period, they are entitled to receive continued treatment once it has started, until the sickness ends or for long-term ailments as long as the Insured Person requires active treatment."
This information is sourced from the web page of ESIC, Coimbatore. I have attached a PDF copy for reference.
I must correct a mistake I made by stating that this also applies to dependents. I apologize for providing incorrect information.
Please be aware that this type of medical benefit is extended to Insured Persons until the end of their illness.
With Warm Regards,
S. Sethupathy

Thank you for the update. I was not aware of this. Logically, it should be extended to dependents as well. Anyway, I just received information that ESIC coverage is being increased to a salary of 25,000 per month. In that case, the original poster will still be covered after October and need not worry. However, thanks to his post, I learned something new.
