Is Gallbladder Stone Surgery Covered Under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY)?

Dear Mrs Vijay Ji,

Yes, gallbladder stone surgery is covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).You can receive cashless treatment at PM-JAY empanelled hospitals.

A 3.3 mm gallbladder stone does not always require surgery. The decision depends on your mother's symptoms and the doctor's evaluation. Surgery is usually recommended if she has :

• Recurrent or severe pain in the upper right abdomen

• Nausea or vomiting due to gallstones

• Gallbladder inflammation (Cholecystitis)

• Infection or other complications caused by the stone

An experienced General Surgeon will examine her and may review her ultrasound report and other investigations before deciding whether surgery is required.

Kindly share :

• Your City and State.

• Is your mother experiencing pain, fever, vomiting, or jaundice?

• Has a General Surgeon already recommended gallbladder surgery?

• Does she have a valid Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) card?

Based on these details, we will help you connect with the most suitable experienced General Surgeon and PM-JAY empanelled partner hospital near you.
