Hello Neetu ji,
Aapka concern bilkul valid hai — Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) is a national scheme and ideally should work across India, including in empanelled hospitals of other states. Let’s break down what’s happening and how you can resolve it.
Yes, patients can use Ayushman Bharat cards outside their home state under a feature called “portability.” This means:
You can get treatment in any empanelled hospital across India
The hospital must accept Ayushman Bharat cases from other states
This portability has already worked for your sister in Delhi, which is proof that the feature is active on your card
To find other hospitals in Bilaspur that accept Ayushman Bharat:

Wishing your sister strength and a smooth recovery.
