The MHIS (Megha Health Insurance Scheme) is a universal health insurance scheme in the state of Meghalaya providing health insurance to all the residents of the State and was launched in 2012. The Government of Meghalaya via the State Nodal Agency began the implementation of MHIS in convergence with the Rashtriya Swasthiya Bima Yojana (RSBY) in 2013. The insurance cover was increased to ₹ 1.6 lakhs for all citizens of the state (excluding state and central government employees). Since the cover under RSBY for the insured beneficiaries was restricted only to secondary care and surgical packages, the universal scheme introduced critical care, oncology, and other essential tertiary care packages.
Subsequently, the insurance cover has increased over the years – to ₹ 2.0 Lakhs in MHIS II, 2.8 Lakhs in MHIS III (plus ₹ 30,000 senior citizen cover for enrolled senior citizens), and ₹ 5 Lakhs in MHIS IV and now to ₹ 5.3 Lakhs in MHIS V. The growth is not just in the insurance cover but also in the expansion of the scheme’s scope over the years, which has been possible due to continued interventions made by the Government to address implementation challenges. MHIS is now being implemented with Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana since the fourth phase (2019) introducing several operational changes which have improved the service delivery of the scheme in the past few years. and Dr. H. Gordon Roberts Hospital is empanelled with MHIS since 2013 till date .
