- It is deemed as the world’s largest government-funded healthcare programme covering around 50 Crore beneficiaries.
- The Ayushman Bharat is a scheme that aims to provide health insurance to 10 crore families.
- The coverage will be Rs.5 lakh per year per family.
- 1,354 health packages are included in this scheme. Major treatments like coronary bypass, knee replacements and stenting would be provided at 15% to 20% cheaper rate than the Central Government Health Scheme.
- The scheme provides the cashless and paperless claim process.

- Here, family means no restriction on number of members or age.
- As of now, Aadhaar card is not mandatory. You just have to prove your identity through Aadhaar, Voter ID or Ration Card.
- Each empanelled hospital will have the “Ayushman Mitra Help Desk”, where the beneficiary can check the eligibility and enroll for the scheme.

Eligibility for Ayushman Bharat – How to check it online?
Now let us understand the process of checking the eligibility for Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
Step 1-On the landing page of AM I Eligible Portal, you have to enter an active mobile number (to receive an OTP) and enter the Captcha letters displaying on the screen and click on the “Generate OTP” button. After this, you will receive an OTP as a text message on the mobile number entered. You have to enter this OTP and click on “Verify OTP” which directs to a page to enter the details for search.
Step 2-Once you enter the OTP, then you will be re-directed to below screen. Here, you can check your eligibility by entering a) Mobile number/Ration Card Number (collected during ADCD drive), b) SECC Name or c) RSBY URN.
a) Mobile number/Ration Card Number: An Additional Data Collection Drive (ADCD) was conducted on 30th April 2018 at Gram Sabha’s across India to capture active mobile number and ration card number of a family of the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) database. If the individual got his/her Mobile number or Ration card number captured during this drive, only then it will show results on the portal. If the individual got his details captured during the ADCD drive and still no results are displayed, then the “SECC Name” option should be used for searching.
b) SECC Name: An individual can search if he/she is eligible for PMJAY using his details as per the SECC database such as Name, Father’s Name, Gender, State etc. Even now, if no results are displayed, then the user should contact a nearby Ayushmaan Mitra.
c) RSBY URN: Additionally, all active families that are enrolled under RSBY (till 31st March, 2018) that do not feature in the targeted groups as per SECC data will be included as well and can identify if they are eligible for PMJAY using RSBY URN.
If the search is successful, the individual has an option to receive a text message with the HHID number/RSBY URN for future purposes on his/her phone by clicking the “Get SMS” button and entering the mobile number.
If your name is there in the list, it will show on the right side of the page. Click on “Family Members” tab to view the beneficiary details and information of the family members covered under the scheme.
