Can a Bihar Ayushman Card be used in Delhi hospitals?

Dear Sushant Bedi ji,

Yes, you can use your Bihar Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) Card in Delhi. The Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme provides nationwide portability, which means eligible beneficiaries can receive cashless treatment at any PM-JAY empanelled government or private hospital across India, including Delhi.

If your Bihar Ayushman Card is active and the required treatment is covered under the PM-JAY scheme, you can avail cashless treatment without obtaining a separate card for Delhi.

What Does the Bihar Ayushman Card Cover in Delhi?

Eligible beneficiaries can receive benefits such as

• Cashless hospital admission for approved medical conditions.

• Coverage of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year under the PM-JAY scheme.

• Approved surgeries and medical treatments.

• Doctor consultation during hospitalisation.

• Diagnostic tests, medicines, implants, and consumables included in the approved treatment package.

• Pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation care as per PM-JAY guidelines.
