Ayushman Bharat | Rs 5 Lakh Health Insurance Under Ayushman Bharat For Senior Citizens | N18V

The government has approved health insurance coverage for all senior citizens aged 70 and over, regardless of income, under the flagship initiative Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY). This was announced via a Press Information Bureau release on September 12, 2024.

AB PM-JAY's advantages would now be available to all senior citizens who are 70 years of age or older, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Under AB PM-JAY, a new, unique card would be given to the senior citizens who qualify.

This announcement was earlier made in April 2024 that the coverage would be extended to senior individuals who are 70 years of age and older.

I am grateful to Modi government for this. In fact I was always thinking why BJP government is ignoring senior citizens but now I am very happy.😊😊

[ramaraocheepi]

Its heartening decision by goi to benefit 70 yrs above, is a big big help.

Private Hospitals dont accept this card in Assam...which is a reality...it is a worthless scheme of central government..the scheme runs only on paper ...

[lalitkumarkhandelwal]

इस का ज्यादा से ज्यादा प्रचार हों जिससे जनता जागरूक हों..

[joshuacherian]

Around 7% of Indias population is 70+... And less than 1% of Indias hospitals accept Ayushman Bharat. This scheme is as good as this Bania govt 🤣😆😂😂

[vilasmhapankar]

Which Hospitals? There is no response from any hospital. Asking who WL pay the bill? R u having confirmation by government?

[subhujaruvatha]

And it should be automatically linked to Adhar related age, not necessarily to register, , be awake, it's digital yera, , ,

[varughesemathew]

This Health Insurance not Available for Private Hospitals.Also 5 Lakhs cover for a Family of 2 i think

[snat]

No one knows how to apply.... ABHA card can be applied by all ages... but 70 and above there is no seperate card....

[lucianisaac]

My opinion - when senior citizens need insurance upto 5 lakhs
What will they do if the expenses exceed 5 lakhs ?

[soumendranathdatta]

Very very heart touching decision and beneficial for all 70+ senior citizens. It is very good decision of Modi Government for Welfare activities for older people. 🎉🎉

[padmamabhannambiar]

Welcome decission. However implementation should bde hassel free.

[jessymaxy]

Which r the network hospitals for Ayushman Bharat??? What is link to register? What all documents required for registration?

[sanjayjha]

How to register senior citizens aged 70 or above portal says no beneficiary found do senior citizens require abha card for ayushman card registration

[SudhirajanChaudhuri]

Whether it will be possible ln West Bengal right now to get AB-PMJAY as there was State Government embargo?

[siyanae]

All the hospital both government and private should accept the scheme then only it will be a help for the citizens but if not it's no use.

[sanujitroy]

with commitment this scheme need to be implemented in west bengal😊

[vasudevanparameswaran]

All citizens above 70 is misleading. It is applicable only to those eligible to register in to aayushman Bharat Scheme. Conditions apply . It is meant for economically weaker sections with several stipulations.
The present move is provide 5 lacs coverage for all 70 + citizens within the aayushman health scheme. Good that lacs of citizens get the benefit.

I am 72, . I have ABHA card. Enrolment for the scheme for 70 plus not yet started.
