Is heart surgery covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme?

Hello,

Yes, heart surgeries can be performed under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme.

We work with partner hospitals and can help you connect with a suitable cardiac hospital and experienced cardiologist/cardiac surgeon.

How to Check Whether the Hospital Accepts Ayushman for Heart Surgery

Before admission, verify these points

1. Check the hospital on the official PM-JAY Hospital Finder.

2. Select your state and district.

3. Search the hospital by its exact name.

4. Check that its PM-JAY empanelment is currently active.

5. Confirm that Cardiology or Cardio-Thoracic & Vascular Surgery (CTVS) is available.

Documents Usually Required

Keep these documents ready

• Ayushman Bharat/PM-JAY card

• Aadhaar card or other valid identification

• Cardiologist's prescription

• ECG report

• 2D Echo report

• Coronary angiography report, if performed

• Blood-test reports

• Previous heart-treatment records

• Previous discharge summary

• Previous angioplasty/stent or bypass records, if applicable

• Current medicines/prescriptions

These documents help the hospital verify eligibility, assess the medical condition and process the required treatment package approval.

If the patient currently has severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sweating, fainting, severe weakness, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, shoulder or back, do not wait to complete Ayushman verification. Take the patient to the nearest emergency cardiac facility immediately.

How HexaHealth Can Help

Please share your city and state, the hospital name you are considering, and the heart surgery advised (for example, CABG/bypass, valve replacement, angioplasty or another procedure). We can then guide you on what exactly to verify before admission.
