The financial support is disbursed to eligible applicants by cheque payment, either to the patient or to the Hospital where treatment is availed. The quantum of financial support is based on the merit of each case and as per the policy and procedure outlined in the scheme. The Chairman KCF will be the final authority in all matters related to sanction of financial assistance.

The scheme is intended to provide only a helping hand to the patient in distress and not to cover the entire treatment expenses of any patient. The amount of financial assistance sanctioned may not be therefore based on the actual treatment expenses incurred as per bills submitted along with the application. The quantum of assistance will be based on the broad norms approved from time to time by the Management. Depending on the actual expenses incurred for cost of medicines, hospitalization, the financial background of the family, support received from other agencies etc., there will be variations in the amount sanctioned for the same type of illness. Age of the patient, illness of other members in the family, persons in the category of Widows/Separated/Differently abled etc are also factors that have a bearing on the amount sanctioned. The assessment regarding the background of the patient will be made based on the documents provided and also the information collected from various sources, including references. The assessing and/or reviewing officers may contact the patient or near relatives of the patient to gather more information, wherever needed.
