Documents to Keep Ready

• Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY card/e-card

• Aadhaar Card or another accepted government ID

• Doctor's prescription/consultation note

• Ultrasound or other scan report related to the hernia

• Blood test and other investigation reports, if available

• Previous prescriptions and treatment records

• Previous discharge summary, if applicable

• Current medicines list

PM-JAY provides cashless coverage for listed treatments at empanelled hospitals, subject to the applicable package and scheme rules.

If there is severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, increasing swelling, or a hernia that becomes hard and cannot be pushed back, seek urgent medical attention instead of waiting for a routine appointment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
