Which Treatments Are Free Under an Ayushman Card?
PM-JAY provides cashless cover for eligible secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation packages, subject to scheme rules. The exact treatment, procedures and associated services depend on the approved package and the hospitals empanelment. Do not assume that every OPD consultation, medicine, test or procedure is covered.
Before admission, ask the hospitals Ayushman help desk to confirm whether your treatment is covered, whether pre-authorisation is required, and which services are included in the package.
Government and Private Hospitals
Both government and private hospitals may participate in PM-JAY. The important condition is that the hospital must be empanelled for the relevant treatment. Hospital participation and available packages can change, so verify the latest details on the official search portal rather than relying only on an old PDF or an unofficial list.
Documents to Carry to the Hospital
- Ayushman card, if issued.
- A valid identity document accepted for beneficiary verification.
- Relevant medical reports, prescriptions and previous treatment records.
- Any additional documents requested by the hospital for verification or admission.
The hospital may need to verify your eligibility before approving treatment. If you do not have a card or are unsure about your eligibility, contact the official helpline or an authorised help desk for guidance.
What to Do if a Hospital Refuses Ayushman Treatment?
First, ask the hospitals Ayushman help desk to explain whether the hospital is currently empanelled for your required treatment and whether the package is covered. If you believe an eligible covered service is being wrongly refused or you are asked to pay for a service that should be cashless, keep the relevant documents and contact the PM-JAY helpline at 14555 for guidance or grievance information.
