…..

As on 01.03.2025, Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) has facilitated approximately 8.99 crore hospital admissions amounting to an expenditure of ₹1.26 lakh crore. The State/UT-wise details of number of hospital admissions and expenditure incurred are at Annexure .

AB-PMJAY currently provides free healthcare access up to Rs. 5 lakh per eligible beneficiary family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization in 27 different medical specialties corresponding to 1961 procedures. Regular updation such as inclusion of new procedures, empanelment of new hospitals, inclusion of new beneficiaries and other improvements are done in the scheme as per new requirements from time to time.

Under AB-PMJAY, a network of over 30,957 hospitals have been empanelled for providing healthcare services to the scheme beneficiaries. This includes 13,866 private hospitals.

As public health is a State subject, the responsibility of empaneling hospitals under AB-PMJAY lies with the respective State/UT. Also, hospital empanelment is a continuous process and is undertaken based on the requirements and availability of healthcare providers (meeting ABPMJAY criteria) within a given State / UT. The Government of India encourages States/UTs to empanel more hospitals under the scheme to ensure access to quality healthcare to all eligible beneficiaries.
