In Uttar Pradesh, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is continuously becoming a major means of relief for lakhs of poor families. Especially Bareilly division has created a new identity in the state by performing brilliantly in the implementation of this scheme. According to government data, hundreds of crores of rupees have been paid to hospitals under the Ayushman scheme in Bareilly, due to which thousands of needy patients got the benefit of free treatment.
What is the claim of the state government?
The state government claims that the Ayushman scheme has provided relief to poor and economically weak families from the burden of expensive treatment. This scheme is proving to be very helpful in the treatment of cancer, kidney, heart and serious diseases. A large number of patients in Bareilly division have received cashless treatment in private and government hospitals. This is the reason why it is being counted among the most successful areas in the state.
Health insurance available for Rs 5 lakh
Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, eligible families get health insurance cover of up to Rs 5 lakh every year. Crores of Ayushman cards have been issued in Uttar Pradesh and new beneficiaries are being added continuously. By running a special campaign, the government is trying to reach the scheme even to those families who were deprived of it till now.
Speedy claim settlement is a big reason
The fast process of claim settlement is also considered to be a major reason for the success of the scheme in Bareilly. According to reports, a large part of the claims of the hospitals here were settled on time, due to which the patients did not face much problem in treatment. The Health Department says that due to transparency and digital monitoring, the process has become stronger than before.
However, some complaints have also been coming forward regarding the scheme. At many places, allegations like fake cards, wrong billing and demanding extra money from patients have been made. On social media and online forums, some people have also shared complaints about delay in cashless treatment and charging extra fees by hospitals.
Despite this, there are a large number of families for whom Ayushman Yojana has proved to be a life-saving initiative. People for whom expensive treatment was not possible are now getting better health facilities with government help. Experts believe that if monitoring and transparency are further strengthened, this scheme can be included among the most effective health schemes in the country.
