Can hernia surgery be covered under the Ayushman card at the hospital?

Hello,

Yes, hernia surgery is covered under Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PMJAY). You can avail cashless hernia surgery after beneficiary verification and treatment package approval.

HexaHealth is not a hospital. We help patients connect with experienced surgeons and suitable Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) empanelled partner hospitals for treatment.

How Is Hernia Treated?

A General Surgeon or Laparoscopic Surgeon will first evaluate your condition through a physical examination and, if required, investigations such as :

• Blood tests.

• Ultrasound or CT scan.

• Other pre-operative tests based on your health condition.

Depending on the type and severity of the hernia, the surgeon recommend :

• Laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair, which usually offers smaller incisions and faster recovery.

• Open hernia repair, if it is more suitable for your condition.

The most appropriate treatment is decided only after a detailed medical evaluation.
