Is an Ayushman Card valid for treatment in other states?

Dear Vinod Kumar Singh ji,

The Ayushman Card, part of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), is a government health insurance scheme providing financial protection for medical treatments to eligible beneficiaries.

Understanding Ayushman Bharat Card Portability

We understand your frustration, Vinod Kumar Singh ji, regarding the refusal of treatment and the incorrect information you received. It's important to clarify that the statement you were given that a UP Ayushman Card does not work in Yamunanagar, Haryana is not accurate.

The Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme is designed with a National Portability feature, meaning that an eligible beneficiary can avail cashless treatment at any empanelled public or private hospital across India, regardless of the state where their card was issued.

Key Information on Ayushman Card Portability

• National Portability : Your Ayushman Card issued in Uttar Pradesh is valid for cashless treatment in any state that has implemented the Ayushman Bharat scheme, including Haryana, provided the hospital is empanelled under the scheme.
• Empanelled Hospitals : The crucial factor is whether the hospital where you sought treatment in Yamunanagar is empanelled under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme. Only empanelled hospitals are authorized to provide cashless services under the scheme.
• Responsibility for Misinformation : The responsibility for such an incorrect statement lies with the individual or facility that provided it, indicating a lack of understanding or awareness about the scheme's national portability feature. This is a lapse in information, as the scheme is designed for seamless access across states.

What to Do if Denied Treatment

• Verify Hospital Empanelment : Before seeking treatment, you can check if a hospital is empanelled under AB-PMJAY by visiting the official PM-JAY website or using their helpline.
• Contact Ayushman Mitra : Every empanelled hospital has an Ayushman Mitra desk dedicated to assisting beneficiaries with their queries and treatment processes under the scheme.
• National Helpline : You can also call the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY national helpline number (14555 ) to report such instances or seek clarification.
