Hello,
Yes. Since your mother-in-law is 85 years old and already has an Ayushman Card, her fracture treatment is covered under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY.
Orthopaedic treatments are included among the specialties covered under PM-JAY.
If by "demure bone" you mean the femur (thigh bone), an orthopaedic doctor should assess the X-ray and decide whether treatment requires surgery, fixation, or another approach.
How to Check an Ayushman Hospital
Follow these steps:
- Open the official Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY Hospital Search portal.
- Select the patient's State.
- Select the District.
- Select Government or Private hospital.
- Select "Orthopaedics" or the relevant speciality, if available.
- Enter the exact hospital name if you already have one in mind.
- Complete the Captcha.
- Click Search.
- Check whether the hospital is currently empanelled under PM-JAY.
- And you also check the proper list of empanelled hospital of you district.
Documents to Keep Ready
Take these documents to the hospital
- Ayushman Card/e-card
- Aadhaar Card or accepted identity proof
- X-ray of the fractured femur
- Orthopaedic doctor's prescription
- Previous medical reports
- Blood test reports, if already done
- CT/MRI reports, if advised
- Previous hospital records or discharge summary
- Current medicines/prescriptions
Because she is 85, do not delay medical evaluation, especially if she cannot stand or walk, has severe pain, swelling, or the leg appears shortened or twisted.
Wishing you and your family good health always.
