Are RSBY card facilities available at Lourdes Hospital in Ernakulam?

Hello,

Lourdes Hospital in Ernakulam, Kochi, Kerala, not accept an old RSBY card directly because RSBY was an earlier government health-insurance scheme. In Kerala, government health coverage is now mainly provided through schemes such as KASP (Karunya Arogya Suraksha Padhathi), depending on the beneficiary's eligibility.

So, if you have an old RSBY card, please do not assume that it will provide cashless treatment at Lourdes Hospital. Before admission, confirm your current scheme eligibility and whether Lourdes Hospital is accepting that particular government health card for the treatment you need.

What should you do?

1. Check which government health scheme your current card belongs to, such as KASP/PM-JAY or another applicable scheme.

2. Check whether Lourdes Hospital, Ernakulam is currently empanelled under that specific scheme.

3. Contact the hospital's insurance/government-scheme desk and show your card.

4. Tell them the exact treatment or surgery required.

5. Ask whether the treatment is covered under your scheme and whether cashless treatment is available.

6. If the hospital is not covered under your scheme, check the current empanelled hospital list for Ernakulam and choose a hospital where the required treatment is available.

Lourdes Hospital is located in Ernakulam, Kochi, Kerala, and its official website lists multiple medical departments and services.

What documents should you carry?

• Government health-scheme card

• Aadhaar Card or another valid ID

• Doctor's prescription and treatment advice

• Relevant medical reports

• Previous prescriptions and medical records

• Investigation reports such as blood tests, X-ray, CT/MRI, ultrasound or ECG, depending on the condition

• Referral letter, if required

The exact facility depends on the current scheme, your eligibility, the hospital's active empanelment and the treatment package. Therefore, confirm these points with the hospital before admission rather than relying only on the old RSBY card.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
