District-wise PMJAY empanelled hospitals.
Discover the updated Ayushman Bharat PMJAY hospital list 2026 district-wise, featuring empanelled government and private hospitals across Haryana and other states.
Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) is India's flagship government-funded health insurance scheme, launched on 23rd September 2018 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It provides cashless and paperless treatment of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation at empanelled hospitals across the country.
As of 2026, more than 43.52 crore Ayushman Cards have been issued across India. The scheme currently covers over 12 crore poor and vulnerable families — roughly 40% of India's total population — making it one of the largest government-funded healthcare programmes in the world. The hospital network has also expanded significantly, with 36,229 hospitals empanelled under PMJAY, including 19,483 government hospitals and 16,746 private hospitals spread across all 36 states and union territories.
The scheme has seen several major updates in 2026 that have expanded its reach and improved its benefits for beneficiaries across the country:
Eligibility under PMJAY is primarily determined by the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data and other government-defined vulnerable categories. There is no specific income ceiling — instead, families must belong to identified deprivation groups in rural or urban areas.

Finding a PMJAY-empanelled hospital in your district is simple. You can use the official hospital finder tool at hospitals.pmjay.gov.in or follow these steps:

Applying for an Ayushman Card is completely free of cost. The process has been simplified through the Ayushman Bharat Beneficiary Portal and the Ayushman App. Here's how to apply:
