Does Sudharma Hospital Offer Government Scheme Benefits for Patients Requiring Additional Physiotherapy After Discharge?

Hello,

Yes, physiotherapy is  covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), but it depends on the patient's treatment, hospital admission and approved treatment package.

Since the patient is already admitted to Sudharma Hospital and the doctor has advised more physiotherapy, the coverage will depend on whether the required rehabilitation sessions are included in the approved Ayushman Bharat package. Physiotherapy provided as part of an eligible hospital treatment is covered.

However, separate or routine physiotherapy after discharge is generally not covered as a standalone OPD service under the standard PM-JAY scheme.

Could you please share the city and state where Sudharma Hospital is located? There may be more than one hospital with a similar name. Once you share the exact location, we can guide you on checking whether the hospital is Ayushman Bharat empanelled and whether the patient's required physiotherapy treatment may be covered.

How to Check Ayushman empanelled hospital?

1. Visit the official Ayushman Bharat hospital search portal.
2. Select the patient's state.
3. Select the district where the hospital is located.
4. Choose the hospital type, such as Government or Private, if the option is available.
5. Select the relevant specialty, if available.
6. Enter the hospital name, complete the captcha and click on Search.
7. Check whether the hospital is listed and its Ayushman Bharat empanelment is active.
8. Check with the hospital's Ayushman Mitra help desk whether the patient's approved treatment package includes the additional physiotherapy sessions.

Documents to keep ready

• Ayushman Bharat card of the patient.
• Aadhaar card or another valid photo ID.
• Hospital admission papers.
• Doctor's prescription recommending additional physiotherapy.
• Discharge summary, if the patient has been discharged.
• Previous treatment records and investigation reports.

Please share the city and state of Sudharma Hospital. We can then guide you according to the hospital's location and the applicable Ayushman Bharat scheme. Please note that not every treatment or additional physiotherapy session is covered; it must fall under the approved package and scheme rules.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
