Cheif Minister's Relief Fund

A white ration card holder is eligible to get some funds under this program. There are separate departments of CMRF in almost all major corporate medical hospitals in Hyderabad.

The following is the process that need to be followed to get assistance from CMRF:

Get an estimation letter of expenditure from hospital management. Take a photostat of the white ration card and attach it to the estimation letter. Paste one photo of the patient on the application form. Keep 2 more sets of copies with you for the future reference.

Usually you get 1/3 of the estimated amount that hospital management gives. You need to go to CM's residence at Begumpet between 7 AM to 9 AM. CM personally collects all such type of requests. In his absence, his personal secretary takes the applications. The amount is sanctioned within 3-5 days. If the patient is to be admitted into the hospital , and by that time if the amount is sanctioned you need not pay a single rupee to get the admission. Show atleast one bill in the CMRF department in the hospital and get the sanction card.Show it in the billing section, you will get admission.If you don't get the funds in time, you can show all the bills of the expenditure that you incurred they will give you a cheque for that amount after the treatment.

The sanction card is valid for a period of one year. After that if any amount remains in the account that goes back to CMRF. You can show that card even in the hospital medical shop to get the required medicine during this one year period.
