The Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme in Bihar is a transformative healthcare initiative. Initially launched in 2018 for beneficiaries identified from the SECC 2011 census, the state government has now expanded its scope to cover all ration card holding families. This ensures that a vast majority of Bihar's population has a financial safety net against major health shocks. This information is verified by the State Health Society of Bihar.
The scheme provides a completely cashless and paperless health cover of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year. This amount can be used by any or all members of the family for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. The benefit, as per the National Health Authority guidelines, covers costs related to 3 days of pre-hospitalization, diagnostics, medicines, doctor's fees, room charges, and 15 days of post-hospitalization care, ensuring zero out-of-pocket expenses for the patient.
Bihar’s implementation focuses on strengthening the healthcare infrastructure by empanelling a vast network of both public and private hospitals, including premier institutions like AIIMS and IGIMS in Patna. Beneficiaries can generate their Ayushman Card instantly at any empanelled hospital or CSC using their ration card and Aadhaar for e-KYC.
