If you're a Delhi Government employee or pensioner living in Dadri, your DGEHS card entitles you to cashless medical care at empanelled hospitals across the NCR region. The challenge most beneficiaries run into isn't the scheme itself , it's finding a DGEHS empanelled hospital that actually has the specialist depth to handle what your family needs, without the runaround at the billing counter.
The official DGEHS list for the NCR includes government dispensaries and a handful of private setups. But for Dadri residents who need tertiary care , heart surgery, robotic joint replacement, a high-risk delivery , most of those options mean driving all the way into Delhi. That's where Felix Hospital in Greater Noida becomes the practical choice. Empanelled under DGEHS and reachable in 20 to 30 minutes from most parts of Dadri, it's the closest fully equipped private facility for families who've settled in the Gautam Buddha Nagar belt and don't want to cross the city for every serious medical need.
All procedures within DGEHS approved rates are cashless for entitled beneficiaries and their dependants.

The Delhi Government Employees Health Scheme is a health protection programme run by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. It covers cashless medical treatment for serving and retired Delhi Government employees and their dependent family members at empanelled hospitals across Delhi and the NCR.
For employees and pensioners who've settled in Dadri — one of the faster-growing residential pockets in the Greater Noida belt — travelling back into Delhi for every specialist visit isn't realistic. DGEHS empanelled hospitals like Felix Hospital in Greater Noida exist precisely for this reason. Full cashless coverage, without the commute.
Serving Delhi Government employees across all departments and grades are covered. Retired employees drawing pension from the Delhi Government treasury are entitled. So are dependent family members — spouse, unmarried children up to 25 who aren't independently employed, and dependent parents whose income falls below the prescribed threshold.
A dependent child with a certified disability stays covered under the DGEHS card regardless of age, as long as the disability is documented and the child remains financially dependent on the cardholder. Bring the disability certificate issued by a competent authority to the Felix Hospital DGEHS helpdesk at the time of admission.
The DGEHS card is what identifies you as an entitled beneficiary and triggers cashless treatment. At Felix Hospital, you present it at the dedicated helpdesk first. The team verifies your card against the DGEHS system, confirms entitlement, and starts the admission process.
For planned procedures, pre-authorisation is submitted by Felix Hospital on your behalf. For emergencies, treatment begins immediately and authorisation is handled retrospectively. You don't need to visit any DGEHS office or follow up with any government department separately — the hospital's desk handles it.
Cosmetic or aesthetic procedures that aren't medically necessary aren't covered. Experimental treatments or procedures not approved in standard clinical practice are excluded. Dental work beyond basic extractions generally falls outside the scheme unless it results from an accident. Spectacles, hearing aids, and assistive devices are covered only within specified limits. And procedures performed at non-empanelled hospitals don't qualify for cashless treatment — reimbursement claims in these cases are frequently partial or rejected.
If you're uncertain about a specific procedure, call the Felix Hospital DGEHS helpdesk before you travel.
Room entitlement is determined by the pay level or grade of the serving employee, or the equivalent pension drawn by the retired employee.
Beneficiary Category | Room Entitlement |
Grade A Officers, senior scale and above | Private Room |
Grade B Officers | Semi-Private Room |
Grade C and below | General Ward |
Pensioners | As per last pay drawn equivalent |
Dependants | As per the cardholder's entitlement |
If you choose a higher room category than your entitlement, you pay only the difference in room rent. All clinical charges — surgery, medicines during admission, investigations — remain at DGEHS approved rates regardless of which room you're in.
Technically, you have two options under DGEHS — cashless at an empanelled hospital or paying upfront and applying for reimbursement later. In practice, the difference is enormous.
Factor | Reimbursement Route | Cashless at Felix Hospital |
Upfront payment | Required, often substantial | Zero |
Paperwork burden | Bills, forms, submissions, follow-ups | Handled entirely by Felix DGEHS desk |
Waiting period | Weeks to months | Settled directly with DGEHS |
Rate risk | Excess above DGEHS rate not reimbursed | DGEHS rate charged directly |
Stress during hospitalisation | High | Eliminated |
When a family member is unwell, chasing a reimbursement claim is the last thing anyone should be dealing with. Choosing cashless at Felix Hospital removes that entirely.
The cashless claim process at Felix Hospital is handled entirely by the hospital's DGEHS administrative desk. Three things cause most rejections — and all three are avoidable.
First: missing or incomplete documents. An expired DGEHS card, a missing dependent registration, or an Aadhaar mismatch will stall a claim instantly. Carrying the full document checklist eliminates this. Second: treatment at a non-empanelled hospital followed by a reimbursement application — these claims are routinely rejected or only partially settled. Third: procedures falling outside DGEHS approved packages being initiated without prior clarity on coverage.
At Felix Hospital, the DGEHS helpdesk checks all of this before admission proceeds, not after discharge.
For planned treatment: Planned treatment at a referral hospital like Felix Hospital requires a referral from the Medical Officer at your designated DGEHS dispensary or the Chief Medical Officer of your department. The referral specifies the department and nature of care required.
Bring the referral letter, your DGEHS card, and your Aadhaar to the Felix Hospital DGEHS helpdesk. From there, the hospital manages registration, pre-authorisation, and admission. You don't follow up with any DGEHS office separately.
For emergencies: No referral needed. Walk straight into the Felix Hospital emergency department. DGEHS rules permit direct emergency admission at any empanelled hospital. The clinical team treats first. Documentation and retrospective authorisation are handled after stabilisation.
Mandatory — verification cannot proceed without these:
Valid DGEHS card (physical or digital copy)
Aadhaar card of the patient, original plus one photocopy
Referral letter from DGEHS dispensary or departmental CMO (for planned treatment)
Proof of dependency registration on the DGEHS card (for dependent family members)
Previous medical records, prescriptions, or discharge summaries for ongoing conditions
Disability certificate for dependants covered under the disability provision
Department identity card of the serving or retired employee as secondary identification
For emergencies, come first. Documents can follow once the patient is stable.
Heart attack. Stroke. Major trauma. Respiratory failure.
Don't wait. Don't look for paperwork. Just get here.
DGEHS rules explicitly permit direct emergency admission at any empanelled hospital without a prior referral.
Felix Hospital emergency team starts treatment immediately. The DGEHS desk handles documentation and claim submission after the patient is stabilised. When you arrive, tell the emergency team you're a DGEHS beneficiary. That's all you need to do.
For Delhi Government employees and pensioners in Dadri, Felix Hospital solves the most practical problem — proximity without compromise.
We know the Dadri railway crossing traffic can be a nightmare during peak hours. That's why many of our DGEHS patients from the main town prefer the Surajpur road route — it's usually a smoother 20-minute shot to the facility. From Boraki or the Dankaur side, the NH-91 connector keeps travel time manageable even in the evenings.
The hospital itself is a tertiary care centre with a 24/7 digital cath lab for cardiac emergencies, robotic and computer-assisted surgery for joint replacement, a Level III NICU for high-risk deliveries, zero-cut laser technology for kidney stone treatment, and laminar airflow operation theatres. NABH accreditation means standards are externally audited, not self-declared.
DGEHS beneficiaries at Felix Hospital receive the same doctors, the same operation theatres, and the same post-operative care as every other patient. No separate ward. No lower-priority queue. The billing arrangement doesn't change the treatment.
Area | Route | Approx. Time from Felix |
Dadri town centre | Direct via Greater Noida road | 20 to 25 mins |
Dadri-Surajpur corridor | Surajpur road to Felix | 15 to 20 mins |
Boraki and surrounding villages | Via Greater Noida sectors | 20 to 30 mins |
Dankaur tehsil | Via NH-91 connector | 25 to 35 mins |
Greater Noida Central, Alpha, Beta | Nearest to Felix | 10 to 15 mins |
Noida Extension, Gaur City | Via Gaur City stretch | 20 to 25 mins |
For emergencies from Dadri, call the Felix Hospital ambulance immediately. It operates 24 hours and dispatches via the fastest available route.
