Ayushman Bharat, one of the most effective schemes of the Modi government, is once again in the news. Launched to provide health security to the poor and lower-middle-income groups of the country, this scheme has benefited about 50 crore people in the country so far. If you also want to get your Ayushman card made, then it is important to keep some things in mind. The government has set proper criteria for this.
Talking about government rules, it is necessary to fulfill some criteria to get an Ayushman Bharat card. For this, it is necessary to be in the SC-ST or EWS category. Also, your income should not be more than Rs 10 thousand per month. Most of its benefits are being given to such people who do not have a pucca house or their farmland. However, before applying, you must know whose Ayushman Bharat card cannot be made.
What are the benefits of this card?
People who get Ayushman Bharat cards get many types of treatment facilities. It covers disease testing, medical advice, services before hospitalization, treatment in ICU and without ICU, equipment used in treatment, lab tests, bed facilities, food and drink facilities in the hospital, and the expenses incurred in treatment for the next 15 days after coming out of the hospital.
