Can get free eye surgery under Ayushman card in Nagpur?

Hello,

Yes. At age 85, you're very likely eligible for covered eye treatment spsting family PM-JAY coverage. This is worth checking first, since it may apply more directly and advantageously than general family coverage.

For example, cataract treatment is covered under PM-JAY packages. However, not every eye procedure is covered, so the exact diagnosis and treatment should be confirmed with the hospital's Ayushman desk before admission.

If this hasn't been set up yet, it can be done via the official Ayushman beneficiary portal, the "Ayushman App," or at a nearby CSC/Ayushman Mitra, using Aadhaar-based e-KYC. There's no waiting period eligible treatment can be accessed from the first day of enrolment.
