TN Raises CMCHIS Limit to ₹25 Lakh; Cancer Hospitals in 5 Districts
Tamil Nadu's ₹23,357 crore health budget adds cancer care hubs, telemedicine expansion, and a near-5x jump in insurance coverage limits.
Why this matters to Tamil Nadu
For families enrolled under the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS), the limit jump from ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh is transformative — it means that costly cancer surgeries, transplants, and prolonged treatments previously beyond the scheme's cover are now accessible at empanelled hospitals without out-of-pocket ruin. The five new district cancer hospitals will reduce the need for patients from Tier-2 cities to travel to Chennai for specialist oncology care.
