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.
Knee replacement surgery (partial or total)
Hospital stay & ICU care (if needed)
Medicines during admission
Doctor & OT charges
Post-surgery physiotherapy (in some cases)
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.
Carry your grandmother’s Ayushman card, Aadhaar, and doctor's recommendation
