Hello Vivek ji,

Yes, if your grandmother is 70 years old and has been advised for knee replacement surgery, the treatment can be done under the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) scheme, provided it is carried out at a hospital empanelled under Ayushman.

What’s Covered Under Ayushman Card:

  • Knee replacement surgery (partial or total)

  • Hospital stay & ICU care (if needed)

  • Medicines during admission

  • Doctor & OT charges

  • Post-surgery physiotherapy (in some cases)

Advanced Knee Replacement Options:

Hospitals now offer minimally invasive or robotic-assisted knee replacement which results in:

  • Less pain and blood loss

  • Faster recovery

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Better implant positioning

These options may be available under Ayushman in select hospitals.

What You Should Do:

  1. Carry your grandmother’s Ayushman card, Aadhaar, and doctor's recommendation

  2. Visit a PM-JAY empanelled hospital near Indore

  3. Check hospital empanelment here:

    Select Madhya Pradesh > Indore

Vivek ji, timely surgery can bring great relief and mobility to your grandmother.


Wishing her strength and a smooth recovery. Feel free to reach out for step-by-step help!
