Ayushman Empanelled Scheme: Cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh with an Ayushman card is available only at registered hospitals. Check which hospitals in your city are registered.

Ayushman Empanelled Scheme: While many government schemes are running in the country, the Ayushman Bharat scheme has emerged as the biggest support system for health coverage. If you are eligible under this scheme and have an Ayushman card, the worry of major medical expenses is largely eliminated. You can seek treatment without worrying about money.

However, many people are unaware of which hospitals in their city offer cashless treatment under this scheme. Not every hospital is affiliated with this scheme. Therefore, it is important to confirm whether the selected hospital is registered before starting treatment. With accurate information, you can benefit from better treatment without spending any money out of pocket. This is how to check which hospitals are included and which are not.

How to check the registered hospitals in your city?

To find out which hospitals in your city are affiliated with the scheme, you need to visit the scheme's official website, the National Health Authority's portal, pmjay.gov.in. Click on the "Find Hospital" option and select the state, district, and hospital type. Once you enter the information, a list of registered government and private hospitals in your city will appear.

You can also visit your nearest CSC center or obtain information through the official mobile app. Choose the right hospital and begin treatment without any hassles.

How does the Ayushman Card benefit you?

Under the Ayushman Card, every eligible family receives health coverage of up to ₹5 lakh annually. This limit is renewed every financial year. This means that in the case of serious illness, surgery, or hospitalization, the government bears the cost of treatment up to the ₹5 lakh limit.

This coverage covers a variety of medical procedures. These can include the cost of surgery, medications, tests, and hospital stays. Importantly, this facility is available in a cashless mode. The patient or family does not have to pay any upfront payment. However, the hospital must be included in the plan's network.
