Can gallbladder stone surgery be done using an Ayushman card?

Dear RAISA KHATOON ji

Yes, you can use your Ayushman Card for gallbladder stone operation.

The hospital should be actively empanelled with the scheme for the required treatment package. PM-JAY provides cashless treatment at empanelled hospitals, and you can also use the card outside your home state under the portability facility.

Please note that HexaHealth is not a hospital. We can help you connect with suitable doctors and partner hospitals, but the final Ayushman approval and cashless confirmation is done by the empanelled hospital's Ayushman Mitra/PM-JAY desk.

How to check the hospital for gallbladder stone surgery

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

2. Select your State.

3. Select your District.

4. Select Government or Private Hospital.

5. Select the relevant specialty, such as General Surgery.

6. Enter the exact hospital name.

7. Complete the Captcha, if shown.

8. Click Search.

9. Check that the hospital's PM-JAY empanelment is active.

10. Contact the hospital's Ayushman Mitra/PM-JAY desk and show your ultrasound report and doctor's advice. Ask them to confirm whether your gallbladder stone operation is covered under an applicable package and whether pre-authorization is required.

You can also check the list of PM-JAY empanelled hospitals in your district. The official PM-JAY system allows beneficiaries to receive cashless treatment at empanelled hospitals across India.

Documents to keep ready

• Ayushman Card

• Aadhaar Card
