CGHS-empanelled facilities undergo periodic review, and their empanelment can be suspended or cancelled if they fail to meet standards. Always verify current empanelment status before visiting, as the list is updated regularly by the CGHS directorate.

NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) accreditation indicates that a hospital meets the quality and safety standards set by the Quality Council of India.

Some facilities also hold NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation for their diagnostic laboratories.
