We’re glad you reached out. Your father (63 years old) needs hernia surgery, and since he has an Ayushman Card (PMJAY), he may be eligible for completely cashless treatment at approved hospitals. Here's how the process works:
Hernia surgery (inguinal, umbilical, or incisional) is a covered procedure under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. It includes:
Pre-operative tests
Surgery (open or laparoscopic)
Hospital stay, medicines, and post-op care
All cashless, once approved under the scheme
You can easily find Ayushman-empanelled hospitals near you:

Or, simply reach out to HexaHealth — we’ll do this for you in seconds and share hospital options near you.
Carry these to the Ayushman helpdesk at the hospital:
Ayushman card (PMJAY ID or ABHA number)
Aadhaar card of your father
Any recent hernia-related reports
The surgeon will examine your father and decide the best approach:
Open surgery or
Laparoscopic repair (painless, faster recovery)
The hospital submits the case to PMJAY for pre-authorization. Approval usually comes within 24–48 hours.
Once approved:
Surgery is done cashless
Stay is typically 1–2 days
Full discharge instructions and follow-up provided
