How to Get Free Medical Treatments Using the PMJAY Card?

Dear Sunny ji,

If you want to get treatment using your PM-JAY (Ayushman Bharat) card and are planning to return to work after a few days, the treatment process will depend on your medical condition and the procedure required.

PM-JAY provides cashless hospitalisation for eligible beneficiaries at empanelled hospitals for covered treatments and procedures. The exact coverage depends on the applicable package and the hospital's current empanelment.

How to Check an Ayushman Hospital

You can verify the hospital through the official PM-JAY hospital search facility :

• Select your state.

• Select your district.

• Search the hospital by name.

• Check its current PM-JAY empanelment status.

• Check whether the required speciality is available.

• Confirm whether your specific treatment is covered.

• Ask the hospital about pre-authorisation and cashless treatment.

Do not assume that every treatment is covered simply because the hospital accepts the PM-JAY card.

Documents Required

Keep these documents ready :

• PM-JAY/Ayushman card or e-card

• Aadhaar card or accepted identity proof

• Mobile number, if applicable

• Doctor's prescription or referral

• Previous medical reports

• Blood test and scan reports, if available

• Previous discharge summary or treatment records

• Any other documents requested by the hospital's Ayushman desk

The hospital will verify your identity and eligibility and inform you if additional documents are needed.

Returning to Work After Treatment

The time needed before returning to work depends on the treatment, your recovery, and the type of work you do. Do not decide the return-to-work date only based on the number of days you expect to be away.

treating doctor should confirm when you can safely resume normal or physically demanding work. If surgery is involved, follow the doctor's instructions regarding rest, walking, lifting, driving, and other activities.
