Does Ayushman Card cover full body checkup?

Dear Dileep Ji,

Ayushman Bharat, also known as Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), is a government scheme that provides health coverage to eligible families for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization.

Ayushman Bharat for Full Body Checkups

• Generally, the Ayushman Bharat scheme is designed to cover hospitalization expenses for treatments, surgeries, and medical procedures for existing illnesses.
• Routine full body checkups (preventive health checkups) are typically not covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.The scheme focuses on covering the costs once a person is diagnosed with an illness and requires hospital admission or specific treatments.
• However, if a specific medical condition is diagnosed during a basic screening and requires further diagnostic tests that lead to hospitalization or a specific treatment covered under the scheme, then those subsequent costs might be covered.

What Ayushman Bharat Covers:

• Expenses for hospital admission.
• Pre-hospitalization expenses (for a defined period).
• Post-hospitalization expenses (for a defined period).
• Treatment for various diseases and medical conditions that require secondary or tertiary care.
• Surgeries, medical consultations, diagnostic tests, and medicines during the hospital stay.
