Description
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (PMJAY) – SEHAT Scheme is a healthcare initiative designed to provide financial protection and access to quality medical services to residents of Jammu and Kashmir. This scheme, an extension of PMJAY, covers patients from the general category and operates within the state or union territory. It encompasses both public and private hospitals and supports various types of transplants and treatments available under PMJAY. However, unlike PMJAY, this scheme does not cover the cost of donor organ retrieval surgery.
Who can apply?
Patients falling under the general category, regardless of their socio-economic status, are eligible to apply for the PMJAY – SEHAT Scheme.
Aid provided
Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries receive coverage of up to Rs 5 lakhs per family per year. The scheme does not specify a particular quantum of support, and the aid is provided directly to the empanelled hospital for post-treatment expenses.
How to apply
Application for the PMJAY – SEHAT Scheme can be made at the empanelled hospital where the patient seeks treatment. The process involves fulfilling the necessary documentation and eligibility criteria as per the guidelines of the scheme.
