The Modi government’s major initiative for healthcare is an implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme under which those eligible will have a defined benefit cover of Rs 5 lakh per family per year, officials said. This cover takes care of almost all secondary care and most of the tertiary care procedures. To ensure that nobody is left out, especially women, children and the elderly, there is no cap on family size and age in the scheme. The benefit cover also includes pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses and all pre-existing conditions are covered from day one of the policy, the officials said. A defined transport allowance per hospitalisation is also paid to the beneficiary under the scheme.
