Is hernia laser surgery covered by Ayushman Bharat scheme?

Hello,

Hernia problems can become painful and uncomfortable over time, especially when there is swelling, heaviness, or pain during walking, lifting, or daily activities. It is completely understandable to ask whether hernia laser operation can be done under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, as surgery expenses and hospital planning can create stress for patients and families.

Yes, if:

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY
• The hospital is empanelled under PMJAY

then hernia surgery may be available under cashless treatment at eligible partner hospitals.

Depending on the medical condition and hospital facilities, doctors may recommend:
