You won’t believe what the state of Gujarat has done to improve the health and well-being of its citizens. In a bold and unprecedented move, the state government has decided to double the insurance cover under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) scheme, also known as Ayushman Bharat.
This means that every eligible beneficiary in Gujarat will now get up to Rs 10 lakh of health insurance cover per family per year, instead of the previous Rs 5 lakh. This is the highest amount of insurance cover offered by any state in India under PMJAY.
But that’s not all. The state government has also expanded the scope of the scheme to include more diseases and procedures, such as cancer treatment, organ transplant, joint replacement, cardiac surgery, and neurosurgery. Moreover, the beneficiaries will also get free transportation to and from the hospital, as well as cashless treatment at any of the empanelled hospitals across the country.
The state government has claimed that this move will benefit over 1.25 crore families in Gujarat, which is more than half of the state’s population. The government has also allocated Rs 2,000 crore for this scheme in its budget for 2023-24.
So what does this mean for you? If you are a resident of Gujarat and belong to any of the eligible categories, such as below poverty line (BPL), scheduled caste (SC), scheduled tribe (ST), or other backward class (OBC), you can avail this scheme by simply showing your Aadhaar card or ration card at any of the designated hospitals. You don’t need to pay any premium or registration fee for this scheme.
This is a golden opportunity for you to get access to quality healthcare without worrying about the cost. Whether you need a routine check-up, a minor surgery, or a major operation, you can rest assured that you will be covered under this scheme.
