Are free medical checks and medicine available?

Dear Naween Kumar Ji,

Yes, under the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) scheme, many treatments are available on a cashless basis, and the coverage may include hospitalization, doctor consultations, diagnostic tests, procedures, and medicines, depending on the patient's medical condition and the approved PM-JAY treatment package.

If the patient is eligible under the Ayushman Bharat scheme and receives treatment at a PM-JAY empanelled hospital, the following services are generally covered under approved packages :

• Doctor consultations and specialist care

• Diagnostic tests and investigations required for the treatment

• Hospital admission and room charges

• Surgery or medical procedures

• Medicines, consumables, and implants used during hospitalization

• Pre-operative and post-operative care, wherever applicable under the package

However, it is important to note that the exact coverage depends on

• The patient's diagnosis and medical condition

• Whether the treatment is included in the approved PM-JAY package

• The recommendations of the treating doctor and the empanelled hospital

Kindly let us know

• Which disease or treatment are you asking about?

• Do you have an active Ayushman Bharat card?

• Your city and state

This will help us guide you to the most suitable partner hospital and experienced specialist and provide more accurate information about the available coverage.

Understanding Healthcare Costs in India

In India, the cost of medical checks and medicines can vary significantly based on several factors

• Government Healthcare Facilities : Services, including some tests and medicines, are often provided free or at highly subsidized rates in government hospitals and public health centers.
  
  
• Private Healthcare Facilities : In private hospitals and clinics, medical consultations, diagnostic tests, and prescribed medicines generally incur charges. These costs can vary widely depending on the facility, its location, and the complexity of the services.
  
  
• Health Insurance : If you have health insurance, many medical checks and prescribed medicines can be covered, either fully or partially, depending on your policy terms and conditions. This includes both cashless facilities and reimbursement options.
  
  
• Government Schemes : Initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) provide cashless treatment for eligible beneficiaries, covering hospitalisation expenses, including pre-hospitalisation diagnostic tests and post-discharge medication for certain conditions. Eligibility criteria apply.
