Dear Manoj K Shah ji,

TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) is a specialised liver procedure often recommended for patients with advanced liver disease, especially those suffering from portal hypertension, recurrent ascites, or esophageal varices.

Yes, TIPS procedure is covered under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) when done at a recognised and empanelled hospital with gastroenterology or interventional radiology facilities.

Important Points about TIPS Under Ayushman Bharat:

  • Covered only at PMJAY-empanelled hospitals with the required infrastructure

  • Must be recommended by a liver specialist based on diagnosis

  • Cashless treatment available with valid Ayushman card

Steps to Confirm Availability in Mumbai:

  1. Visit https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

  2. Select State: Maharashtra and District: Mumbai

  3. Choose Speciality: Gastroenterology or General Surgery

  4. Click Search to view empanelled hospitals

  5. Call the hospital’s Ayushman Mitra desk to confirm if TIPS is performed
