MEDICAL ADVANCES AND TA
MEDICAL ADVANCE
 

Medical advance 80 % is granted, to the staff members, when the treatment is very expensive on a request for medical advance duly certified by the Medical Officer indicating the nature of illness anticipated duration and cost of treatment. The Medical Advance paid is adjusted from the subsequent reimbursement claim preferred by the staff member. In the event the staff member fails to submit the claim within a reasonable time, the advance will be recovered from his pay bill.
