The central government is running many schemes to provide better and cheaper treatment to the common people in the country. One of these is Ayushman Bharat Yojana which is also known as PM Jan Arogya Yojana. Under this scheme, economically weaker families are provided free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh every year. Lakhs of people across the country are taking advantage of this scheme. However, people often have a question as to how many times in a year treatment can be done through Ayushman card and is there any limit for this. So today let us tell you how many times you can get treatment through Ayushman card in a year and what are the rules for it.
How many times can treatment be done in a year?
There is no limit on the number of treatments under Ayushman Bharat Scheme, that is, if needed, the beneficiary can get the treatment done multiple times in a year. However, the condition remains that the total expenditure of the entire family should not exceed Rs 5 lakh. Even if there are four members in a family, this limit of Rs 5 lakh is for the entire family. Apart from this, when you go to the hospital for treatment, tell that you want to get treatment under the Ayushman card. After identity verification, the hospital admits you and the treatment process starts. In such a situation, the entire expense is covered under the scheme.
Keep these things in mind before treatment
To get treatment through Ayushman card, it is necessary for your Ayushman card to be active. The hospital where you are getting treatment should be registered under Ayushman Yojana. Apart from this, the disease to be treated should be included in the package of the scheme. Also, for more information you can take help of Ayushman Mitra or official website. Apart from this, the government has recently tightened the rules related to Ayushman card. In fact, now without Aadhaar based e-KYC, neither a new card will be made nor treatment will be guaranteed. This step has been taken to prevent fraud and to provide the facility to the right beneficiaries.
In which hospitals is treatment available?
With Ayushman card, treatment can be done in government and many private hospitals. For this go to the official website of PMJAY. Then click on Find Hospital option. After this select the state, district and hospital category. Then you will get the complete list of registered hospitals. You can get treatment under Ayushman card in the hospitals whose names are included in this list.
