But more than three months after its launch, technical glitches, State-wise disparity remain

More than 6,000 patients have been seeking care daily under the cashless health insurance scheme Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, popularly known as Ayushman Bharat, following its launch three months back. In less than 90 days, 6.4 lakh persons have benefited, said Health Minister JP Nadda.

Private hospital admissions

The amount authorised for admissions till date is Rs. 850 crore, and 65 per cent of the total admissions are in private hospitals, according to data shared by the National Health Agency (NHA). Of the authorisations worth Rs. 850 crore, claims worth Rs. 630 crore have been submitted by 4.9 lakh patients. NHA data shared by Indu Bhushan, CEO of Ayushman Bharat, show that up to 22 per cent of the admissions are heart patients who signed up for angioplasty.

This was followed by coronary artery bypass graft (9 per cent); valve replacement and repair (6 per cent); polytrauma (4 per cent); and joint replacement (3 per cent). Cardiology, cardio-thoracic and vascular procedures accounted for Rs. 297 crore of the admission amount.

The dashboard, which is not available for public view, had been throwing up erroneous data, showing that the highest amounts were disbursed for dental procedures. Bhushan clarified that this has not been the case. “Some media reports printed wrong facts on dental procedures being most popular, despite us telling them that it is incorrect,” said Bhushan.

Glitches galore

Due to the non-timely availability of services, patients have been calling up the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) directly, said an official at NHA, who did not wish to be named.
