Ayushman Card Limit: How can you get free treatment when your Ayushman Card limit has been exhausted? Learn when the card's limit is renewed and how to get treatment without it.
Health is a vital part of every person's life. When someone suddenly falls ill, treatment can be costly. In such a situation, the government's Ayushman Bharat scheme provides free treatment to people to relieve them of financial burden.
Through the Ayushman Card, eligible families can receive free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh per year at government and private empanelled hospitals. This scheme has provided relief to millions of people, and many serious illnesses have been treated without cost.
However, if your Ayushman Card limit has been exhausted, you will no longer be able to avail of free treatment immediately. This limit is determined for each financial year and is renewed after one year.
This means that when the new financial year begins, your Ayushman card limit will reset. Only then will you be able to avail of free treatment again. Until then, you will have to bear the cost of treatment yourself.
If your treatment is interrupted after the limit is reached, you may need to obtain special permission from the health department. In some cases, the department may provide additional assistance based on the severity of the condition. However, this is subject to approval.
For this, you should contact the administrative department of your nearest government or private empanelled hospital. You can learn the process for obtaining permission and the documents required.
Keep in mind that information regarding Ayushman card limits and renewals may vary by state. Therefore, it's best to contact your district health department or the hospital's Ayushman helpdesk for accurate information.
