Can Ayushman Card be used for Cancer Treatment at Indo American Cancer Hospital?

Hello R Ramesh ji,

Thank you for your important question, and we’re here to guide you with complete clarity.

Can You Use Ayushman Card for Grade 2 Cancer Treatment?

Yes, Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) card covers cancer treatment up to ₹5 lakh per year for eligible patients. This includes:

• Chemotherapy

• Radiotherapy

• Surgery

• Hospital stay, diagnostics, and medicines (if within the package)

But treatment must happen at an Ayushman-empanelled hospital for cashless benefit.

Is Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital (Banjara Hills) Empanelled?

As of the latest official records:

• Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad is not currently listed as an empanelled hospital under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY).

• However, some patients get partial support if state-level schemes (like ArogyaSri in Telangana) are merged with Ayushman benefits.

To confirm:

1. Visit: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in

2. Select Telangana and District Hyderabad, then search the hospital name

3. You can also contact the hospital billing desk directly to ask if they accept Ayushman card for cancer treatment
