Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Nagaland Health Protection Society has de-listed 10 hospitals from the Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme (Employees & Pensioners). The removed facilities are nine Fortis hospitals across Faridabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab, Jaipur and Kolkata, and Dispur Hospital in Assam. NHPS is directing beneficiaries to use empanelled hospitals and check the updated list on cmhis.nagaland.gov.in or call the toll-free helpline 1800-202-3380. In a separate revision, NHPS has discontinued emergency approval registration for general-category CMHIS beneficiaries while keeping it for employee and pensioner category beneficiaries. A 31 October memorandum also restricts single-member household registration, allowing it only with an affidavit sworn before a notary or magistrate and backed by a village council or ward chairman declaration. The revised rules took effect from the date of the memorandum.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The two outlets cover unrelated administrative updates from NHPS, so there is no single story to compare. Nagaland Tribune reports the delisting of 10 hospitals, nine Fortis facilities and Dispur Hospital, from the CMHIS (EP) network. Nagaland Post reports the discontinuation of emergency approval for general-category CMHIS beneficiaries and new affidavit rules for single-member households, based on a 31 October memorandum. Since the stories address distinct scheme changes, the coverage is not in conflict but each outlet presents NHPS’s circular as a straight procedural notice. Readers should treat the delisting and the registration revision as separate notifications and verify their applicability.
