Very special information has come to light for Ayushman card holders. Under the Central Government’s Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (Ayushman Bharat), eligible people get free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh annually.
The benefit of this scheme is mainly given to the economically weak and needy people, so that they do not have to bear the cost of expensive treatment themselves.
Time limit for treatment:
This limit of Rs 5 lakh of Ayushman Card is valid for one year. That is, the cardholder can avail a maximum benefit of up to Rs 5 lakh for treatment during this period. As soon as this limit is reached, the benefit of free treatment is no longer available until the next year’s new limit is implemented. Therefore, before serious or major treatment, it is important to know about the remaining limit in the card, otherwise you may face problems.
Let us tell you that according to the rules of the scheme, this limit is fixed and it cannot be increased. The government has set this limit to provide equal facilities to all the beneficiaries. However, in case of some critical illnesses or special circumstances, the state government or hospital may arrange additional cover or funding, but this is not applicable in every case. In such a situation, let us tell you that to get maximum benefit of the scheme, it is important to use the card wisely.
