The health insurance policy holder\/s get the benefits of pre and post hospitalisation coverage, reimbursement of hospitalisation expenses and in case of critical illnesses, the policy even pays out lumpsum benefits. Further, cashless hospital facility is helpful at the time of emergencies so that the medical treatments would start immediately without delay and without getting stress in arranging money to make advance medical payments.<br \/>Ayushman Bharat, a flagship scheme of Government of India, was launched as recommended by the National Health Policy 2017, to achieve the vision of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).<br \/>Key Features of PM-JAY (https:\/\/pmjay.gov.in)<br \/>\u2022 PM-JAY is the world\u2019s largest health insurance\/ assurance scheme fully financed by the government.<br \/>\u2022 It provides a cover of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization across public and private empanelled hospitals in India.<br \/>\u2022 Over 10.74 crore poor and vulnerable entitled families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) are eligible for these benefits.<br \/>\u2022 PM-JAY provides cashless access to health care services for the beneficiary at the point of service, that is, the hospital.<br \/>\u2022 PM-JAY envisions to help mitigate catastrophic expenditure on medical treatment which pushes nearly 6 crore Indians into poverty each year.<br \/>\u2022 It covers up to 3 days of pre-hospitalization and 15 days post-hospitalization expenses such as diagnostics and medicines.<br \/>\u2022 There is no restriction on the family size, age or gender.<br \/>\u2022 All pre\u2013existing conditions are covered from day one.<br \/>\u2022 Benefits of the scheme are portable across the country i.e. a beneficiary can visit any empanelled public or private hospital in India to avail cashless treatment.<br \/>\u2022 Services include approximately 1,393 procedures covering all the costs related to treatment, including but not limited to drugs, supplies, diagnostic services, physician&#8217;s fees, room charges, surgeon charges, OT and ICU charges etc.<br \/>\u2022 Public hospitals are reimbursed for the healthcare services at par with the private hospitals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health insurance coverage still remained well below half the population<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[333],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
