| + | ===== Real story from a citizen ===== | ||
| + | **What we hear from RTI Wiki users**: Geeta, a 38-year-old domestic worker in Mumbai, took her father (heart attack) to a PMJAY-empanelled hospital. Hospital claimed her father wasn't eligible despite SECC inclusion. Discharge bill: Rs. 1.4 lakh. She filed an RTI to State Health Agency Maharashtra under §6 asking (a) father' | ||

| + | // | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck ===== | ||
| + | * **Not in SECC 2011** — primary eligibility base. Some states added post-SECC categories (e.g., Maharashtra added construction workers). Check state-specific. | ||
| + | * **Aadhaar-mobile mismatch** — family verification fails. Fix: link Aadhaar with mobile via UIDAI. | ||
| + | * **Hospital not empanelled** for that procedure — check [[https:// | ||
| + | * **Pre-authorisation rejected** — hospital didn't submit pre-auth on time, or TPA rejected. Fix: appeal via SHA. | ||
| + | * **Treatment not in PMJAY package list** — only listed procedures covered (1,800+ packages). Check at hospitals.pmjay.gov.in. | ||
| + | * **Annual cap reached** — Rs. 5 lakh/ | ||
| + | * **Migration / cross-state** — PMJAY allows portability (treatment in any state with home-state card), but some hospitals don't recognise portability. RTI for SHA portability policy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Pro tips most don't know ===== | ||
| + | * **ABHA ID** (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is a separate health-record ID — different from PMJAY. Get free at [[https:// | ||
| + | * **Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra (PMAM)** at every empanelled hospital — they verify eligibility + pre-auth on the spot. Always go to PMAM first. | ||
| + | * **Reimbursement (post-payment) claims** are possible if you paid first — file with SHA within 30 days of discharge with all bills + hospital empanelment proof. | ||
| + | * **State top-ups** — Maharashtra, | ||

| + | * **Family not in SECC 2011 database** — SECC is the primary eligibility list. If your family wasn't surveyed or was categorised differently, | ||
| + | * **Aadhaar not seeded with PMJAY** — visit a CSC or PMAM desk at an empanelled hospital to complete biometric seeding. | ||

| + | ===== What is the difference between PM-JAY and PM-JAY SEHAT? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For //pmjay vs pmjay sehcat//, //pm jay vs sehcat//, // | ||
| + | |||
| + | **PM-JAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana)** is the central scheme launched in September 2018. It covers **over 55 crore beneficiaries** identified through SECC 2011, providing Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation. Administered nationally by the [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | **PM-JAY SEHAT (Social Health Insurance Scheme for All)** was launched in December 2020. It extends PM-JAY-style coverage to **all residents of Jammu & Kashmir**, including those not in the SECC list. While PM-JAY is for SECC-identified poor across India, SEHAT covers the universal population of JK. | ||

| + | |||
| + | ===== How to check Ayushman Bharat eligibility by state ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | PM-JAY eligibility varies by state because each State Health Authority (SHA) manages its own beneficiary database. While the core eligibility comes from SECC 2011, many states have added their own categories: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Rural poor** identified through SECC 2011 deprivation indicators (D1–D7) | ||
| + | * **Urban occupational workers** — rag pickers, beggars, domestic workers, street vendors, construction workers (see [[: | ||
| + | * **State-specific additions** — some states include construction workers, pregnant women, disabled persons, or SC/ST households | ||
| + | * **Senior citizens 70+** — universal coverage (announced 2024, rolling out 2025-2026) | ||
| + | |||
| + | **To check your state-specific eligibility: | ||
