Does Apollo Hospital Accept the Ayushman Bharat Card for Inguinal Hernia Surgery in a 70-Year-Old Patient?

Hello,

Yes, at 70 years of age, you are eligible for Ayushman Bharat benefits for inguinal hernia treatment,

However, not every Apollo Hospital accepts the Ayushman Bharat card, and the hospital must be actively empanelled for the relevant treatment.

Could you please share which Apollo Hospital you mean, including the city and state? There are several Apollo hospitals in India. Once you share the location, we can guide you on how to check the hospital's Ayushman Bharat empanelment for inguinal hernia treatment.

How to Check Ayushman empanelled hospital?

1. Open the official Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital search portal.
2. Select your state.
3. Select your district.
4. Choose the hospital type, such as government or private, if the option is available.
5. Select the relevant specialty for hernia treatment, if listed.
6. Enter the Apollo Hospital's name and complete the captcha.
7. Click Search and check whether the hospital is listed with active empanelment.
8. Before proceeding, check whether the hospital can provide cashless treatment for your inguinal hernia under an approved Ayushman Bharat package.

Documents to keep ready

• Ayushman Bharat card.
• Aadhaar card or another valid photo ID.
• Doctor's prescription and hernia diagnosis reports.
• Ultrasound or other investigation reports, if available.
• Previous medical records and current medication details.
• Hospital admission or referral documents, if applicable.

Ayushman Bharat provides cashless treatment for eligible beneficiaries at participating hospitals for approved packages; it does not provide cash directly to the patient. At age 70 or above, eligible senior citizens also qualify under the Ayushman Vay Vandana scheme. The applicable eligibility and coverage should be checked for your card and treatment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
