Chhattisgarh:-:If someone at home has to undergo cataract operation or has to undergo treatment for fracture, then the question for Ayushman card holders is that in which hospital the cashless facility will be available.

These include cataract surgery, some fracture procedures, care of high-risk deliveries and some operations for cysts and fistulas. Some treatments for severe anemia, hepatitis, malaria and mental health are also on the list. A treatment package is for a specific diagnosis, treatment or operation.
What is to happen from 1st December?
The authority is preparing to implement the revised list in the national online system of the scheme from December 1, 2026. Which packages will be removed from private hospitals will be decided by the respective state. According to reports, the proposal aims to make the system of reserve packages uniform across states.
