2. Select Tamil Nadu as the State.

3. Select the relevant District.

4. Choose Government or Private Hospital.

5. Select the relevant specialty, such as Neurosurgery, if available.

6. Search for the exact hospital/campus name, such as CMC Vellore or the Ranipet Campus.

7. Enter the captcha, if shown.

8. Click Search.

9. Check that the specific hospital/campus has active PM-JAY empanelment and that the required brain tumour/neurosurgery package is available.

10. Before admission, visit the hospital's Ayushman Mitra/PM-JAY desk with the patient's diagnosis and treatment advice. Ask them to confirm whether brain tumour surgery is covered, whether treatment will be cashless and whether pre-authorisation is required.

You can also check the district-wise PM-JAY empanelled hospital list for the area.
