Which hospitals in Chennai accept PM-JAY Ayushman Bharat empaneled cards?

Dear Kesavan ji,

Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY treatment is available only at hospitals that are currently empanelled under the scheme and for the specific treatment packages approved under PM-JAY.

Since hospital empanelment and available treatment packages can change, it is important to verify the hospital's current status before visiting.

How to Check an Ayushman Empanelled Hospital

You can check the latest hospital empanelment yourself through the official PM-JAY hospital search:

1. Open the official PM-JAY hospital search portal.

2. Select Tamil Nadu as the state.

3. Select Chennai or the required district.

4. Choose the relevant hospital type, such as government or private.

5. Search the hospital by name.

6. Check whether the hospital is currently shown as PM-JAY empanelled.

7. Check the available speciality and treatment packages.

8. Contact the hospital's Ayushman desk/Ayushman Mitra before admission.

9. Confirm that your required treatment or surgery is covered under the applicable PM-JAY package.

What Documents Should You Carry?

When visiting an Ayushman-empanelled hospital, carry

• Ayushman Bharat Card / e-Ayushman Card

• Aadhaar Card or valid ID proof

• Patient's medical reports

• Doctor's prescription

• Previous treatment records

• Previous discharge summary, if available

• Recent blood test reports, if available

If you are going for a specific surgery or treatment, also carry all relevant scans, X-rays, ultrasound reports, biopsy reports or other investigations related to that condition.

Having an Ayushman Card does not mean every treatment is automatically free. The patient must be eligible, the hospital must have active PM-JAY empanelment, and the required treatment must fall under an applicable PM-JAY package.

Before travelling to any hospital in Chennai, verify the exact hospital branch and the specific treatment package to avoid confusion.

We can help you identify suitable partner hospitals and experienced doctors based on your treatment requirement and assist with consultation and treatment coordination.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
