Does the Ayushman Bharat scheme cover IVF fertility treatment?

Dear Akash Shah ji,

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that helps individuals or couples struggling with infertility to conceive by fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body. Regarding your query about using your Ayushman card for IVF, here's what you need to know:

Ayushman Bharat Scheme and IVF Fertility Treatment

• The Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) primarily covers a wide range of secondary and tertiary care hospitalizations, including surgeries, medical and day-care treatments, and diagnostic services.
• While the scheme aims to provide cashless access to healthcare services, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF are generally not directly covered under the standard Ayushman Bharat package for infertility treatment.
• The focus of the scheme is on essential health services and critical care. Infertility treatments often fall outside the current scope of the standard packages covered.
• However, it's always advisable to confirm with the specific hospital you are considering for treatment, as scheme guidelines can sometimes have state-specific variations or updates. You can also consult an Ayushman Mitra at empanelled hospitals for the most current information.
