Are there PMAY hospitals for mental health disorders?

Dear Sumit ji,

We're sorry your grandmother is unwell. Mental health disorders can be complex, but timely evaluation and care can make a significant difference.

Under the Ayushman Bharat (PM‑JAY) scheme:

• OPD consultations and counselling services are generally not covered.

• However, if your grandmother requires admission or hospitalisation for mental health care, such as in cases of severe depression, psychosis, or acute emergencies, these are covered under PM‑JAY at empanelled hospitals.
