I have WBHS card issued by my Kolkata HQ office when I was posted there. Now I am posted in Block office. I want to include my new born baby of 4 months age in WBHS. Kindly let me know the procedure.

But what is the procedures actually?
New Cards need to be issued for all existing family members as all cards have existing identification No. along with list of family members or simply make necessary correction in the existing cards.
If correction is required than who make these correction- My present controlling Officer or the appointing authority who issued the cards during my posting at Kolktata HQ.
I would like to add that the card is supposed to be issued withing six months.

G.O. No. 796-F (MED) dt. 31-01-2011
10. Treatment of new-born baby is chargable separately in addition to the
delivery charges for mother. A baby is entitled to the treatment facilities under the
Health Scheme for six months on the basis of Identity Card of parents within which a
separate card is to be obtained for the baby.

G.O.No. 797-F (MED) dt. 31-01-2011
4. Treatment charges for new-born baby are separately reimbursable in addition to
delivery charges of the mother. Baby is entitled to get treatment on the basis of identity card
of parents up to six months of age. A separate identity card under the Health Scheme should
be obtained within that period.
Though it has not been specified, it appears that the corrections may be made by the present controlling authority, if he is empowered to.
Sorry to share friends that till date WBHS ICard have not been issued for my new born baby. The case has been forwaded to my Directorate HQ but no reply has so far been received. If any one has come to know the similar facts than please share.
