Is AML Relapse Treatment Covered Under the Ayushman Card?

Hello,

Yes, treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), including treatment for a relapse, is covered under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme.

AML is a type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow and causes the body to produce abnormal blood cells. A relapse means the cancer has returned after treatment. Depending on the patient's condition, treatment may include chemotherapy, medicines given in the hospital, blood transfusions, and other specialised care.

PM-JAY provides eligible beneficiaries with cashless hospital treatment up to ₹5 lakh per family per year under the scheme's rules. However, not every medicine, test, or cancer treatment is automatically covered.

Which documents are required for AML relapse treatment?

• Ayushman Bharat Card or e-card.
• Aadhaar Card or another accepted government identity document.
• Ration card or other beneficiary documents, if required.
• Haematologist's or oncologist's prescription and treatment plan.
• Bone marrow biopsy report and other relevant pathology reports.
• Blood test reports, including complete blood count, if available.
• Previous chemotherapy records, discharge summaries, and details of earlier treatment.
• Recent medical reports confirming the relapse, if available.
