How to Book an Appointment

CMC Vellore accepts both online appointments and walk-in registration. For online booking, visit clin.cmcvellore.ac.in and click on Patient Portal. New patients who have never visited CMC should select "New Patient (First Time to CMC)" and complete the registration form, choose the department carefully, and make payment online. Patients who already have a CMC Hospital Number cannot use the new patient option and must log in using their hospital number to book a repeat appointment. For help with online booking write to webappointment@cmcvellore.ac.in.

For walk-in registration, new general patients should go to the ISSCC Reception at Counter 401 with a valid government-issued photo ID, fill out the registration form, undergo triaging, and pay at the MCTT cash counters to get their Hospital Number Card, which is mandatory for all further services. New general patients pay Rs 340, which covers the consultation fee and hospital number card. Repeat appointments of any kind are Rs 220. For patients who have not booked online, the Silver Gate for New Appointments at the main hospital gate is the starting point. The patient call centre runs Monday to Saturday 7 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 8 AM to 4:30 PM at +91 8000338855 or WhatsApp +91 9385285928.

Important Information for Patients

A government-issued photo ID is mandatory at CMC Vellore and will be verified at the OPD entrance without exception. Carry all previous medical records, prescriptions, imaging CDs, investigation reports, and a brief written summary of your condition, particularly for specialist consultations and second opinions.

CMC operates a unit-based OPD system in several departments such as General Medicine, Surgery, and Orthopaedics. When registering, you must choose the correct unit for your day of visit. Each unit has its own set of consultants and operates on alternating days. Registering under the wrong unit is one of the most common errors that results in patients losing their slot for the day.

On busy days, departments close registration once capacity is reached, even before OPD timings end. For high-demand departments like Cardiology, Nephrology, Neurology, and Haematology, arrive well before 8 AM. Patients who have traveled from another city or state should account for this risk in their planning and avoid arriving late.

The ISSCC Reception at Counter 401 handles new general patient walk-in registration. New patients pay Rs 340, and repeat patients pay Rs 220. The Silver Gate at the main hospital entrance is the starting point for patients who have not booked online. Payments can be made by cash, card, or UPI at counters on all floors of the OPD block.

Cashless insurance is accepted. Confirm your TPA and insurance provider at the billing counter before your appointment. CMC Vellore's OPAD (Outpatient Advance Deposit) system allows patients to load funds in advance for outpatient expenses and is recommended for patients with multiple investigations or follow-up visits on the same day.

Foreign patients must register at the International Relations Office and notify the local police station within 24 hours of arrival, as required by Indian law. The IRO desk handles triage, cash counters, brochures, and pre-registration for international patients. Doctor schedules are subject to change. Always confirm availability at +91 8000338855 or WhatsApp +91 9385285928 before traveling.
