Do hospitals accept Ayushman Bharat card for varicose veins?

Hello,

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that commonly occur in the legs and may cause pain, heaviness, swelling, or discomfort. Treatment may be available under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme, depending on eligibility and package approval. 

Is Varicose Veins Treatment Covered Under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY?

Yes, if :

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY

• The hospital is PM-JAY empanelled

• The treatment is medically necessary

• The required PM-JAY package approval is obtained

Then the approved treatment may be provided on a cashless basis under the scheme. 

Can I Use My Ayushman Card at Your Hospital?

Ayushman card acceptance depends on whether the hospital is empanelled under PM-JAY and whether the required treatment package is available. The hospital's Ayushman Help Desk can confirm eligibility and package coverage before admission.
