Does Ayushman Bharat Yojana cover fibroid surgery procedures?

Dear Aliya Mirza ji,

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. I can certainly help you understand if fibroid surgery is covered under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.

Yes, coverage may be available if :

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY

• The hospital is PM-JAY empanelled

• The fibroids are causing symptoms that require medical or surgical treatment

• The treating doctor recommends surgery

• The required PM-JAY package approval is obtained

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

The need for surgery depends on the size of the fibroids, symptoms, and overall health condition.
