Dear Dhaval Suthar ji,


Yes, hernia surgery is covered under Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PMJAY). You can avail cashless hernia surgery at a PMJAY-empanelled hospital after beneficiary verification and treatment package approval.


We will be happy to help you. However, Jupiter Hospital has multiple branches, and the availability of Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) benefits may differ from one location to another. Therefore, we first need to know which Jupiter Hospital you are referring to.


Kindly Share the Following Details


  • Which Jupiter Hospital are you referring to? (Thane, Pune, Indore, or another branch)

  • Your City and State.


Once you share the hospital location, we will verify its Ayushman Bharat empanelment status and guide you on the availability of cashless hernia surgery.
