Hello,

Yes, anti-VEGF injections are used to treat certain retinal conditions, including some types of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) are available in Disha eye hospital.

However, whether the injection is also covered under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY.

Disha Eye Hospitals provide retinal services and retinal injections. However, not every branch is necessarily empanelled under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY. You must check the exact branch where the patient wants to receive the injection and confirm coverage before proceeding. 

How to check Ayushman Card coverage

1. Open the official PM-JAY Hospital Search portal.

2. Select West Bengal as the State.

3. Select the relevant District.

4. Check the overall PM-JAY empanelled hospital list for that district.

5. Select Government or Private hospital, as applicable.

6. Select Ophthalmology as the specialty.

7. Search for the exact Disha Eye Hospital branch.

8. Enter the captcha, if shown.

9. Click Search and check whether that specific branch is currently active under PM-JAY.

10. Contact the branch's Ayushman Mitra or insurance desk and ask whether the prescribed anti-VEGF injection for ARMD is covered under an active package and whether pre-authorisation is required.

Documents to carry

• Ayushman Bharat Card

• Aadhaar Card or another valid government ID

• Retina specialist's prescription

• OCT scan and other eye examination reports

• Previous anti-VEGF injection records, if applicable

• Previous medical records and treatment papers

If the injection is not covered at that branch, ask the hospital to explain the reason and whether another currently empanelled hospital offers the required treatment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
