Ayushman Bharat Beneficiaries Can Now Opt for Surgeries, Treatments Not Part of Govt's Packages

News 18  

Beneficiaries under the Narendra Modi government’s Ayushman Bharat national public health insurance scheme will now be able to opt for medical procedures that are not part of the designed health benefit packages, News18.com has learnt. The governing panel of the Ayushman Bharat scheme has allowed flexibility to states and union territories for deciding and approving the procedures to be booked under the unspecified surgical package up to Rs 5 lakh. Also, states have been allowed to decide the prices of health benefit packages – the list of procedures given to beneficiaries under the scheme – and choose relevant packages suited to the local context. The National Health Authority – the department responsible for the execution of the scheme – says it has taken care to cover a large number of treatment procedures under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana but in several cases, patients had to undergo treatment for procedures not defined under health benefit packages.
