Ayushman Bharat Hospital List: How to Find Empanelled Hospitals Near You

Under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme, you can get free cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh per year — but only at empanelled hospitals. This guide shows you how to find PM-JAY empanelled hospitals in your area, check package rates, and verify a hospital's empanelment status.

What Are Empanelled Hospitals?

Empanelled hospitals are healthcare facilities (government and private) that have been approved by the National Health Authority (NHA) to provide cashless treatment under PM-JAY. These hospitals have agreed to treat PM-JAY beneficiaries at pre-defined package rates set by the government.

There are over 29,000 empanelled hospitals across India, including both public and private facilities.

State-Wise Hospital List

PM-JAY is implemented across most states and union territories. Some key points:

• Most states use the PM-JAY framework directly
• Some states have merged PM-JAY with their own health schemes (e.g., Ayushman Bharat-MJPJAY in Maharashtra, Ayushman Bharat-Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana)
• Delhi, West Bengal, and Odisha had initially opted out but may have their own state health schemes

To check state-specific hospital lists:

1. Visit pmjay.gov.in/hospital
2. Select your state from the dropdown
3. Browse the complete list of empanelled hospitals in your state

PM-JAY Package Rates: What's Covered?

PM-JAY covers over 1,900 treatment packages across 27 specialities. Package rates are pre-defined and include:

• Consultation fees
• Surgery/procedure charges
• Medicine and consumables
• Diagnostic tests
• Room charges (up to 5 days post-surgery)
• Food for the patient
• Follow-up care (up to 15 days post-discharge)

Key Specialities Covered

Note: Outpatient (OPD) treatment is generally NOT covered under PM-JAY. Only hospitalisation (minimum 24-hour admission) is covered.

How to Check If a Hospital Is Empanelled

If a hospital claims to accept Ayushman Bharat cards, verify:

1. Online: Search the hospital name at hospitals.pmjay.gov.in
2. Helpline: Call 14555 and ask about the specific hospital
3. At the hospital: Look for the PM-JAY empanelment board/poster at the entrance
4. Ayushman Mitra: Every empanelled hospital should have an Ayushman Mitra (help desk) to assist PM-JAY patients

Red Flags

• Hospital asks you to pay upfront for covered treatments — report this
• Hospital says "PM-JAY not available today" — call 14555
• Hospital charges extra beyond the package rate — this is a violation

How Hospitals Get Empanelled

For reference, hospitals must meet these criteria to join PM-JAY:

• Minimum 10 beds (relaxed for speciality hospitals)
• Registered under Clinical Establishments Act or equivalent
• Valid fire safety and biomedical waste certificates
• Adequate medical staff and infrastructure
• Apply through the NHA empanelment portal

Important Tips

1. Search before you go — Always check empanelment status online before visiting a hospital
2. Check speciality coverage — Not all empanelled hospitals offer all specialities; verify the specific treatment is available
3. Carry your documents — Take your Ayushman card, Aadhaar, and ration card to the hospital
4. Don't pay for covered treatments — PM-JAY treatment is cashless; if asked to pay, report on 14555
5. Check your eligibility first — Make sure you're a PM-JAY beneficiary before visiting; see our eligibility guide
