The Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana (CM-JAY) is Tripura’s state-funded health scheme, launched on 15 February 2024. It covers about 4.15 lakh families who were left out of Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, which already covers around 5.12 lakh families in the state, so together every family in Tripura can have cover. CM-JAY mirrors PM-JAY, giving \u20b95 lakh per family per year in cashless, paperless treatment at empanelled hospitals in Tripura, plus free medicines for 15 days after discharge. State government employees can join if they give up their annual medical allowance of \u20b96,000. Patients not on the PM-JAY list can be enrolled directly by Ayushman Mitras at the hospital. As per a state document, about 4.48 lakh CM-JAY cards had been issued by August 2024. The scheme is run by the Tripura Health Protection Society.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The other 4.15 lakh families<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tripura has around 9.75 lakh families. When Ayushman Bharat arrived, a little over half of them were covered. The rest, about 4.15 lakh families, had no state-funded health insurance at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2024, Tripura changed that with the Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana. Now, at least on paper, every family in the state has access to \u20b95 lakh of cover a year, whether through PM-JAY or CM-JAY.<\/span><\/p>\n

CM-JAY even includes state government employees, if they’re willing to trade their medical allowance for it. Here’s how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
