You be able to use the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY card at an eligible government or private hospital, depending on your eligibility and the approved treatment package.

4. Select your district.
5. First check the overall list of empanelled hospitals in your district.
6. Select Government or Private, if the option is available.
7. Choose the relevant speciality, such as Gynaecology and Obstetrics, if available.
8. Search for the exact hospital name.
9. Enter the captcha, if shown, and click Search.

• Aadhaar card or another valid identity document.
• Pregnancy reports and ultrasound reports.
