Is hernia surgery covered under the Ayushman Bharat health card?

Hello,

A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Regarding your question about the Ayushman Bharat card, here's some helpful information:

Hernia Surgery and the Ayushman Bharat Scheme

Yes, hernia surgery is indeed covered under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), which is the health insurance component of the Ayushman Bharat scheme.

Key Benefits for Hernia Surgery under Ayushman Bharat:

• Cashless Treatment: Eligible beneficiaries can avail cashless treatment for hernia surgery at empanelled public and private hospitals.
• Comprehensive Coverage: The scheme covers various expenses related to the surgery, including pre-hospitalization, diagnostics, surgical procedure, post-hospitalization care, and medicines.
• Access to Quality Care: It ensures that financial constraints do not prevent beneficiaries from accessing necessary medical treatment for hernias.

Types of Hernia Surgery Covered:

• Open Hernia Repair: A traditional surgical method where an incision is made, and the protruding tissue is pushed back, often with a mesh for reinforcement.
• Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon. This often results in faster recovery and less pain.
