Hello,

Hernia can cause pain, swelling, discomfort while walking, lifting, or doing daily activities. When surgery is advised, many patients naturally want to know whether treatment may be possible through the Ayushman card and whether the hospital accepts cashless treatment support.

Is Hernia Surgery Covered Under Ayushman Bharat?

Yes, if :

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY
• The hospital is empanelled under PMJAY
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Package approval is completed

then selected hernia surgeries may be available under cashless treatment at eligible hospitals.

Coverage may include :

• Hospital admission
• Surgery charges
• OT expenses
• Doctor consultation during admission
• Hospital stay
• Basic investigations related to treatment

Final approval depends on :

• Patient eligibility
• Hospital empanelment
• PMJAY package verification
• Surgeon assessment

What Is Hernia?

Hernia happens when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the muscle wall.

Common symptoms may include :

• Swelling or lump in abdomen/groin
• Pain while coughing or lifting
• Heaviness
• Discomfort during walking
• Burning sensation

Proper medical evaluation is important because untreated hernia may sometimes become serious.

Which Doctors Usually Treat Hernia?

Treatment is usually managed by :

• General surgeon
• Laparoscopic surgeon
• Gastro surgeon

Doctors may recommend :

• Physical examination
• Ultrasound
• Blood tests
• CT scan in selected cases

These evaluations help determine surgery planning.

Is Surgery Available in Asha Hospital?

Treatment availability and PMJAY acceptance depend on whether Asha Hospital is currently empanelled under PMJAY and whether hernia surgery packages are active.

Before admission, please directly confirm :

• Is PMJAY active in the hospital?
• Is hernia surgery available?
• Is cashless treatment possible?
• What documents are required?

Direct hospital confirmation is important.
