  "account": "The Telangana Government aims to utilize cutting-edge technology for the efficient implementation of the New Employees Health Scheme (NEHS). Following the scheme's launch, the government plans to customize existing software, website, and mobile application. The Employees Healthcare Trust's Chief Executive Officer is tasked with developing additional modules for services such as beneficiary enrollment, health cards, wellness hospital centers, empanelment, claims, payments, audit, and grievance redressal. These modules will be integrated with IFMIS, treasuries, pension payment offices, and other government databases. The trust must establish a module to manage online beneficiaries and validate their details through IFMIS. The Finance department will supply digitally authenticated employee data to the trust for newly added institutions or employee categories. Employees are responsible for verifying, updating, or submitting their information in IFMIS via authorized personnel. The government encourages the use of new health cards via the NEHS mobile app and web portal upon database validation and certification. Empaneled hospitals and wellness centers will accept digital health cards, QR codes, or other secure credentials notified by the trust. Treatment will continue to be provided based on the employee/pensioner identity number until new health cards are issued. The government assures that no eligible beneficiary shall be denied admission or treatment due to the absence of a new EHS health card.",
