Almost 90% of COVID-19 hospitalisations under the scheme took place in 4 states

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), India’s flagship health insurance scheme launched in 2018, provided cushion to only 14.25 per cent of people hospitalised for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) between April 2020 and June 2021. 

The scheme’s failure during the pandemic was expected. Since health is a state subject and PM-JAY is implemented by the state governments, several of them delayed in including COVID-19 under the scheme. 

For example, Madhya Pradesh formally included COVID-19 treatment under the scheme as late as May 7, 2021, when the second wave was at its peak. A similar lapse was also reported in Telangana. The delay in state notification and lack of clarity meant private hospitals avoided admitting patients under PM-JAY. 

This is the reason almost 90 per cent of COVID-19 hospitalisations under the scheme took place in the four states that included the disease under PM-JAY at the beginning of the outbreak.

Karnataka treated the highest (0.13 million) COVID-19 patients under the scheme, followed by Andhra Pradesh (0.12 million), Maharashtra (0.1 million) and Kerala (0.07 million).
