Dear BHAKTHAVASTHALA K Ji,

Heart-related problems can be frightening for both patients and their families. When a doctor recommends angioplasty, one of the biggest concerns is whether the treatment can be done under the Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY scheme and whether cashless treatment may be available.

Can Angioplasty Be Done Under Ayushman Card?

Yes, if :

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY
• The hospital is empanelled under PMJAY
• Angioplasty is medically necessary
• Required package approval is completed

then selected angioplasty procedures may be available under cashless treatment at eligible hospitals.

Coverage may include :

• Hospital admission
• Angioplasty procedure charges
• ICU/CCU care if required
• Doctor consultation during admission
• Hospital stay
• Basic investigations related to treatment

Final approval depends on :

• Patient eligibility
• Hospital empanelment status
• PMJAY package verification
• Cardiologist assessment

Is Angioplasty Recommended for Heart Blockages?

Doctors may recommend angioplasty when :

• Heart arteries are narrowed or blocked
• Chest pain (angina) is present
• Blood flow to the heart is reduced
• There is a risk of heart attack
• Emergency cardiac treatment is required

The final treatment decision depends on the patient's angiography findings and clinical condition.

Which Doctors Usually Perform Angioplasty?

Treatment is usually managed by :

• Cardiologist
• Interventional Cardiologist
• Cardiac Care Team

Doctors may recommend :

• ECG
• Echocardiography
• Angiography
• Blood tests
• Other cardiac investigations

These tests help determine the exact condition and treatment plan.

Documents Usually Required

Please keep these documents ready :

• Ayushman / PMJAY card
• Aadhaar card
• Cardiac reports
• Angiography reports (if available)
• Doctor prescriptions
• Previous treatment records

These documents help with eligibility verification and treatment approval.

How to Check PMJAY Hospital Status?

Verification Steps

• Visit Ayushman Bharat Official Portal
• Open the "Find Hospital" section
• Select :
  • State
  • District
  • Specialty – Cardiology

You can verify whether the hospital is currently empanelled under PMJAY and whether cardiology services are available.
