PMJAY Coverage for Hip Replacement Surgery in Hospital

Dear Jignesh Ji,

Hip replacement surgery is a major procedure usually recommended when severe hip pain, arthritis, or joint damage starts affecting walking and daily activities. It is completely understandable to check whether treatment can be done through the PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat) card, as this scheme helps many patients receive affordable healthcare support.

PMJAY Coverage for Hip Replacement Surgery

Yes, hip replacement surgery may be covered under the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme in empanelled hospitals. However, the approval depends on several factors, including:

• The patient’s eligibility under PMJAY
• The medical condition and severity
• Whether the hospital is PMJAY empanelled
• Type of hip replacement procedure advised by the doctor

Both partial and total hip replacement procedures may be considered for coverage in eligible cases.

How to Check PMJAY Hospital Eligibility

To confirm whether a particular hospital provides hip replacement treatment under PMJAY, you can:

• Visit the official PMJAY portal
• Select your state and district
• Search for empanelled hospitals
• Contact the hospital directly to confirm orthopedic surgery coverage

Official portal: Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY

It is also important to carry your PMJAY card and valid ID proof during hospital consultation.

Important Things to Discuss Before Surgery

Before proceeding with hip replacement surgery, the orthopedic specialist may evaluate:

• Joint damage severity
• Ability to walk and perform daily activities
• Spine or bone health
• Existing medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease
• Recovery and rehabilitation needs

Recovery After Hip Replacement Surgery

Most patients require physiotherapy and guided rehabilitation after surgery to improve walking and mobility. Recovery time may vary depending on age, overall health, and the type of procedure performed.
