The Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand Yojana (AAUY) is Uttarakhand’s state-funded extension of Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, launched in December 2018. Ayushman Bharat covered about 5 lakh families in the state; AAUY extended the same benefit to about 18 lakh more, so all around 23 lakh families have access. Each family gets cashless treatment of up to \u20b95 lakh per year for secondary and tertiary care, with no restriction on family size, age or gender. Pre-existing conditions are covered from day one, and pre- and post-hospitalisation costs are included. Treatment is available at public and empanelled private hospitals across India. You need an Ayushman Golden Card and must carry a government ID such as Aadhaar, PAN or Voter ID every time you seek treatment. State government employees and pensioners have a separate, unlimited-cover scheme.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand Yojana: The Hill State’s \u20b95 Lakh Golden Card, Explained Simply<\/b><\/h2>\n

When a whole state gets the same card<\/b><\/h3>\n

In late 2018, Uttarakhand did something few states had tried. Instead of covering only families on the national Ayushman Bharat list, it extended the same \u20b95 lakh cover to every family in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s the Atal Ayushman Uttarakhand Yojana. In a state where a serious illness can mean a long drive down mountain roads to Dehradun, Rishikesh or Delhi, having a card that works across India matters a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme is generous and simple. But a few small details, like carrying ID with your card, can trip people up. Here’s everything in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
