Can gallstones be operated on with Ayushman Card?

Hi Sanjeev Kumar,

Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, gallbladder stone (pitte ki pathri) surgery is generally covered under the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) health scheme, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is the standard procedure for gallstone removal.

What you should know?

• The surgery must be done at an Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital.

• You should carry your Ayushman card, Aadhaar card, and any relevant medical reports.

• The hospital’s insurance desk will help verify your eligibility and submit the claim.
