Yes, certain intravitreal injections for eye conditions may be covered under the Ayushman Bharat - PM-JAY scheme, depending on:
-
The specific drug being used (e.g., Avastin, Lucentis, or Razumab)
-

We recommend confirming with the hospital's TPA (Third Party Administrator) or insurance desk before scheduling treatment.
