Is Bevacizumab for glioblastoma covered by Ayushman?

Hello

A diagnosis like glioblastoma can be overwhelming for both the patient and family. Many families face uncertainty regarding treatment costs, chemotherapy, and medicine availability. Speaking with the treating neuro-oncologist and Ayushman desk as early as possible can help clarify coverage options and avoid treatment delays.

Bevacizumab Under Ayushman Card at Mahavir Cancer Sansthan

 Yes , the hospital Mahavir Cancer Sansthan & Research Centre (MCSRC) is an Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) empanelled cancer hospital and provides oncology services under the scheme.

However, it is not possible to confirm online whether the specific medicine Bevacizumab for glioblastoma is currently available and covered under your PM-JAY package. Coverage of high-cost chemotherapy and targeted medicines often depends on:

• State-specific approvals and authorizations
