Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) Eligibility — Who Is Covered & How to Check
Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY eligibility in plain English: SECC-based lists, beneficiary check on official sites, empanelled hospitals — ContentVerse does not enrol you.
What PM-JAY is
PM-JAY is a health assurance scheme for eligible families, with hospitalisation cover as notified. Eligibility is not “anyone who applies on Instagram”. Lists are tied to SECC and state processes that can change.
How to check (official only)
Use the official PM-JAY / NHA beneficiary search and state health portals. Empanelled hospital lists also live there. Anyone asking for a fee to “make an Ayushman card” is a red flag.
At the hospital
Carry ID as instructed on the official site. Pre-authorisation is between hospital and scheme — we cannot speed it up. This is not medical advice.
