Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) Scheme.

Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) Scheme.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) is a pioneering initiative of the Government of India which aims to accelerate India’s progress towards Universal Health Coverage and Sustainable Energy Goals. It is the world’s largest fully government financed health protection scheme that seeks to cover more than 500 million people. PM-JAY seeks to ensure that entitled poor and vulnerable households across the country have financial protection and can access safe, quality hospitalization services so that no family is pushed into poverty as a consequence of ill-health.



Key Features and Benefits of PM-JAY:-

PM-JAY provides free hospitalization coverage up to Rs. 5,00,000 per entitled family per year through a network of public and private impaneled health care providers. PM-JAY primarily targets the poor, deprived rural families and identified occupational categories of urban workers families as per the SECC (Socio-Economic Caste Census) 2011 database. In addition, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) active card holders can also avail PM-JAY benefits. There is no cap on family size and age as well as no restriction on pre-existing conditions for entitled families. These services are free and paperless for the entitled beneficiary family. Further, entitled beneficiaries will be able to move across states/UTs and access these services throughout the country through the feature of national portability. The National Health Authority is responsible for ensuring implementation and providing oversight for PM-JAY. The State Health Agency/State Nodal Agency is the programme implementing agency at the state level, ensuring that policies and guidelines set by NHA are carried out in letter and spirit.
