Can Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) cover a repeat stent blockage?

Hello,

Yes, treatment for a blockage that develops again at the site of a previously placed heart stent is covered under the PM-JAY (Ayushman Bharat) scheme.

This condition is commonly called in-stent restenosis (ISR). Depending on the angiography findings, the cardiologist recommend repeat angioplasty, another stent or other appropriate cardiac treatment.

How to Check a Hospital for PM-JAY Treatment?

You can check whether a hospital can provide treatment under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme by following these steps

1. Visit the official PM-JAY Hospital Finder.

2. Select your State.

3. Select your District/City.

4. Select Cardiology as the specialty.

5. Search for the hospital by name or check the available empanelled hospitals.

6. Confirm that the hospital is currently PM-JAY empanelled.

Documents to Keep Ready

• Ayushman Card

• Aadhaar Card/valid ID

• Previous angiography report

• Previous stent/angioplasty records

• Current angiography report or CD, if available

• ECG/Echo reports

• Doctor's prescription

• Previous discharge summary and treatment records

If the patient is currently having severe chest pain, breathlessness, sweating, fainting or sudden weakness, do not wait for the Ayushman verification process. Seek emergency cardiac care immediately.
