In February 2024, the Bihar cabinet extended Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY to all ration card holders covered under the National Food Security Act (NFSA). Eligible families get cashless treatment of up to \u20b95 lakh per family per year at empanelled government and private hospitals, with no premium. Reports describe the state-funded extension as the Bihar Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya Yojana. During a special campaign from 2 March 2024, Ayushman cards were issued to about 1.03 crore families in six days, on top of roughly 1.2 crore families already covered. Families identified under SECC 2011 remain covered. Seniors aged 70 and above can also get the national Ayushman Vay Vandana card. You can check eligibility at beneficiary.nha.gov.in, and card creation is free.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Ayushman Bharat in Bihar: Your Ration Card Is Now Your Health Card (Here’s How to Use It)<\/b><\/h2>\n

From 5 kg of rice to \u20b95 lakh of cover<\/b><\/h3>\n

In Bihar, the NFSA ration card has long meant one thing for most families: subsidised grain every month.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2024, it started meaning something else too. The state decided that every NFSA ration card family would get Ayushman Bharat’s \u20b95 lakh cashless cover. In a six-day drive in March 2024, over one crore families got their cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s a lot of new cards. But a card in the drawer only helps if your family knows how to use it at the hospital counter. That’s what this blog is for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
