The move is part of the Centre’s plans to widen the coverage of the scheme and thus reduce the incidence of catastrophic health expenditures.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) health insurance scheme is set to offer teleconsultation services to its patients soon. The move is part of the Centre’s plans to widen the coverage of the scheme and thus reduce the incidence of catastrophic health expenditures, and improve access and quality of health services in the public and private sectors, according to a senior health ministry official.

“This is a major step forward with the teleconsultation services being offered with qualified medical officers and specialists for cases referred from sub health centres level and primary health centres,” said Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan. “A pilot is being done in Gujarat; after the due security audit, it will be rolled out in all functional Ayushman Bharat — Health & Wellness Centres (AB-HWC). Currently there are more than 21,000 AB-HWCs,’’ he explained.
