Can Ayushman Card be used for delivery admission?

Dear Nitika ji,

Yes, beneficiaries can receive maternity and delivery services under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, including applicable normal delivery and medically required C-section packages. However, the hospital must be currently empanelled under PM-JAY.

If your sister-in-law's delivery is due next month, it is better to verify the hospital and PM-JAY package in advance rather than waiting until the time of delivery.

3. Select your District.

4. Search the exact hospital name.

5. Check whether the hospital's current PM-JAY empanelment is active.

6. Check whether Obstetrics & Gynaecology/Maternity services are available.

Documents Required

When visiting the Ayushman hospital, it is best to carry

• Ayushman Bharat Card / e-Ayushman Card

• Aadhaar Card or valid government ID

• Pregnancy/ANC records

• Gynaecologist's prescription

• Ultrasound/sonography reports

• Blood test reports

• Previous pregnancy or delivery records, if available

• Previous discharge summary, if available

• Current medicines list

Important for the Delivery

If the patient develops severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, leaking of fluid, severe headache with blurred vision, reduced fetal movements, fits, difficulty breathing, or any other emergency symptoms, seek immediate medical care rather than waiting for the planned delivery date or Ayushman verification.

Please share the city and state, and we can guide you on finding a suitable Ayushman-empanelled hospital and experienced gynaecologist through our partner network.
