## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILYWELFARE (SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV)

- (a): State/UT-wise details of Ayushman cards created under Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in the last five years are at Annexure-I . District-wise details of Ayushman cards created under AB-PMJAY in the last five years in Punjab are at AnnexureII .

(b): As on date, more than 9.84 crore hospital admissions worth over Rs. 1.40 lakh crore have been authorized under the scheme. State/UT-wise details of number of hospital admissions under the scheme are at Annexure-III .

(c) Under AB-PMJAY, all public hospitals are deemed empanelled. District-wise details of number of private hospitals empanelled under the scheme during the last two years in Punjab are at Annexure-IV . Further, no hospital has been de-empanelled in the State of Punjab in the last two years.

(d) National Health Authority has laid down guidelines under AB-PMJAY for payment of claim to hospitals within 15 days of claims submission for the intra-state hospitals (hospitals located within State) and within 30 days in case of portability claims (hospitals located outside State).

Regular review meetings are organized to review progress with regards to the claims settlement. Further, capacity building activities are organised for efficient claims settlement and beneficiary facilitation agencies ensure timely submission of claims on the Transaction Management System (TMS), and address all discrepancies.

(e): The funding of AB PM-JAY is entirely demand driven. NHA releases funds for scheme implementation to the State UTs on the basis of the actual demand received from States/UTs. There is no State / UT - wise allocation of funds. As per the process defined by NHA, States furnish a Utilization Certificate of previously received funds prior to every new fund release. An amount of Rs. 418.90 crore has been released as Central share to the State of Punjab in the last five years.
