Scheme: One IP- Two Dispensaries scheme
Key Facts about the scheme : o Under One IP- Two Dispensaries scheme ESIC has given an option to an Insured Person (IP) to choose
two dispensaries, one for self and another for family through an employer. This will benefit all IPs,
especially migrant workers who are working in other than home State, while their families are living in
their native States. Because of non-availability of option of second dispensary, the dependant members of
family are often deprived of medical benefits.
o By introducing the concept of ‗One IP- Two Dispensaries‘, IP as well as their family members would now
be able to get treatment from either of the dispensaries and in case of emergency from any ESI Institution.
o As of now, around 3 crores IPs are covered under ESIC and total number of beneficiaries i.e. IPsand their
family members is over 12 crores.
