Is Radiotherapy Available Under the Ayushman Card at Max Hospital, Delhi, After Completing Chemotherapy?

Hello,

We understand your concern. Since your mother completed chemotherapy around 3 months ago and radiotherapy has still not started because of limited slots at AIIMS Delhi, it is understandable that you are looking for another option.

Regarding Max Hospital, Max hospitals in Delhi is not PM-JAY empanelled.

However, you can look for another Ayushman-empanelled cancer hospital in Delhi/NCR where radiotherapy is available.

What you should do

Before going to another hospital, carry your mother's complete treatment records from AIIMS and ask the hospital's Ayushman desk specifically about radiotherapy under PM-JAY.

For cancer treatment, the hospital may need to submit the complete treatment plan and obtain the required pre-authorization before starting the covered treatment.

Steps to Check an Ayushman Hospital

1. Open the official PM-JAY hospital search.

2. Select Delhi as the state.

3. Select the required district.

4. Choose Government or Private hospital.

5. Select the relevant cancer/oncology specialty.

6. Search for the hospital name if you have any in mind.

7. Enter the captcha, if shown.

8. Check whether the hospital is currently empanelled under PM-JAY.

9. You can also check overall empanelled list of hospital.

10. Confirm that radiotherapy is available at that hospital.

11. Speak to the Ayushman Mitra/Ayushman desk and confirm that your mother's specific radiotherapy treatment is covered and that the required approval can be obtained.
