Does the Ayushman Card Cover Cashless Gynecomastia Surgery?

Dear Ujjwal Jangra ji,

Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure performed to reduce enlarged breast tissue in males. Regarding your query about its coverage under the Ayushman card for cashless treatment, here's some important information

Yes, gynecomastia surgery may be available on a cashless basis under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, but only if the procedure is considered medically necessary and is approved under a PM-JAY treatment package at an empanelled hospital. Purely cosmetic or aesthetic procedures are generally not covered under the scheme.

Yes, if :

• The hospital is PM-JAY empanelled

• The treating doctor determines that surgery is medically necessary

• The required PM-JAY package approval is obtained

If approved, treatment may be provided on a cashless basis at the empanelled hospital.
