GUWAHATI, July 19: Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday chaired a consultation meeting with various service associations at the Assam Administrative Staff College to discuss the upcoming Mukhya Mantri Lok Sevak Arogya Yojana.
The meeting focused on important aspects such as the medical bill reimbursement process and the creation of an online portal for registration.
During the meeting, it was announced that an online portal has been developed for the registration of healthcare bill reimbursement for government employees, pensioners, and their dependents. This portal will allow beneficiaries to conveniently upload necessary documents for reimbursement.

Chief minister Sarma expressed the government’s commitment to providing a healthcare scheme that meets the genuine needs of its employees.
He further encouraged members of the employees association to provide their feedback on the proposed scheme within a period of 15 days. The scheme will be presented for Cabinet approval in the near future. CM Sarma reiterated that opting for the Mukhya Mantri Lok Sevak Arogya Yojana would be optional, and the existing healthcare bill reimbursement policy will continue to be operational.
