Is Knee Replacement Surgery Covered Under the MMSY Scheme for Eligible Patients?

Hello,

Yes, your mother is able to get knee replacement surgery under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana (MMSY) card in Punjab. The scheme provides cashless treatment of up to ₹10 lakh per eligible family per year, subject to the scheme's rules and approved treatment packages. Knee replacement coverage depends on your mother's eligibility, the hospital's empanelment and approval for the procedure.

How to check which hospital provides knee replacement under the MMSY card?

1. Check the official Punjab State Health Agency website for information about the scheme and empanelled hospitals.
2. Select your district or city in Punjab.
3. Check the list of government and private hospitals empanelled under the scheme.
4. Look for hospitals offering Orthopaedics or Joint Replacement services.
5. Contact the hospital's MMSY or scheme help desk and ask whether total knee replacement is currently covered under your mother's card.
6. Visit the hospital with your mother's medical reports and health card.
7. The orthopaedic doctor will examine your mother and confirm whether knee replacement is required.
8. The hospital's scheme desk will check eligibility and submit the required documents for pre-authorisation, if applicable.
9. Confirm approval and any possible extra charges with the hospital before planned surgery.

Which documents are required for your mother's knee replacement?

Keep the following documents ready before visiting the hospital:

• MMSY or Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana health card.
• Aadhaar card or another accepted government photo ID for your mother.
• Orthopaedic doctor's prescription recommending knee replacement, if available.
• Recent knee X-rays and other scan reports, if available.
• Blood test reports and other medical investigation reports, if already done.
• Previous prescriptions, treatment records and hospital discharge summaries, if any.
• Other eligibility documents requested by the hospital's scheme help desk.

Please share the city or district where you want your mother's knee replacement surgery, such as Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda or Mohali. Also mention whether you prefer a government hospital or a private hospital. This will help you check the relevant hospital list for her treatment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
