Dear Jamshed Alam ji,

Compression of the L5 nerve in the back causing pain into the left leg (sciatica-like symptoms) is a common but treatable condition. Here's how Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) can help you receive free treatment for this under your card:

What Treatment Is Covered

  • Non-surgical care: Consultation, imaging (MRI), medications—all as part of hospitalisation

  • Surgical options:

    • Microdiscectomy or laminectomy: minimally invasive surgery to relieve nerve compression

    • Spinal fusion or fixation: used in advanced cases

These procedures are fully covered under Ayushman Bharat at empanelled hospitals.

How to Find an Empanelled Hospital in Patna

  1. Visit https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

  2. Select State: Bihar, District: Patna

  3. Choose Government or Private hospital

  4. (Optional) In “Speciality,” select Neurosurgery or Spine Surgery

  5. Click Search, then call the hospital’s Ayushman Mitra to confirm they perform L5 nerve treatments
