Does Ayushman Card cover appendix, kidney, uterus surgeries?

Hello,

The conditions you mentioned, such as issues with the appendix (appendicitis), a 'bubble' in the kidney (which could refer to a cyst, stone, or other growth), and uterus surgery (for conditions like fibroids or other gynaecological issues), often require medical or surgical intervention.

Yes, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY may cover appendix surgery, certain kidney-related surgeries, and uterus-related surgeries, provided

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY

• The hospital is PM-JAY empanelled

• The treatment is medically necessary

Once approved, the treatment may be provided on a cashless basis.
