Can You Apply & Use Immediately?

  • Apply online or at a Common Service Center (CSC) using father's Aadhaar—this typically takes 1–2 days for e-KYC and card issuance

  • Metro Hospital & Cancer Institute, Pitampura – Empanelled for surgical and medical oncology

  • Government Hospitals: AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital, Lok Nayak and Delhi State Cancer Institute

  • Additional private centres: Dharamshila Narayana, Apollo, Fortis & Max (please verify individually)

What You Should Do Next

    • Visit PM-JAY hospital finder

    • Select State: Delhi, choose district, and optionally filter by Speciality: Oncology

    • Click Search to see empanelled hospitals

  3. Call the Ayushman Mitra desk at hospital to confirm esophageal cancer treatment coverage

Dear Saksha ji,

Mammography, which is a diagnostic X‑ray for breast health, is typically considered an outpatient diagnostic test and is not covered under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY), since the scheme focuses on secondary and tertiary hospitalisation procedures.

However, there are government-run breast cancer screening camps under the NPCDCS (National Programme for Prevention & Control of Cancer), where mammograms may be offered at low or no cost.

If your doctor recommends mammography, here are your options:

  • Undergo the test through public health screening camps, which are often free or subsidised

  • Check if the mammogram can be bundled under a PMJAY-covered hospitalisation—for instance, if you’re admitted for biopsy or surgery, diagnostics may be included.

Dear Gopi Kishan ji,

आपकी मम्मी को बड़ी आंत (colon) में कैंसर डाइग्नोज़ हुआ है और आपने radiation therapy करवाई है — यह बहुत ही ज़रूरी स्टेप था। अब अगर ऑपरेशन की ज़रूरत है, तो आप Ayushman Bharat कार्ड के ज़रिए Indore के कई empanelled अस्पतालों में free of cost surgery करवा सकते हैं।

क्या कैंसर का ऑपरेशन आयुष्मान कार्ड से हो सकता है?

हां, Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) के तहत कैंसर के सभी जरूरी इलाज—जैसे surgery, chemotherapy, radiation—कवर किए जाते हैं।
Indore में कई hospitals हैं जो onco-surgery के लिए PM-JAY से empanelled हैं।

कैसे पता करें कि कौन-से अस्पताल empanelled हैं?

  1. Visit करें: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

  2. State: Madhya Pradesh और District: Indore चुनें

  3. Hospital Type: Government या Private

  4. Speciality में Oncology या Cancer surgery डालें (या खाली छोड़ दें)

  5. Search करें – आपको empanelled hospitals की लिस्ट मिलेगी

  6. Hospital के Ayushman Mitra Desk से फोन करके procedure confirm कर लें

Hello Neetu ji,

Aapka concern bilkul valid hai — Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) is a national scheme and ideally should work across India, including in empanelled hospitals of other states. Let’s break down what’s happening and how you can resolve it.

Can Out-of-State Ayushman Cards Be Used?

Yes, patients can use Ayushman Bharat cards outside their home state under a feature called “portability.” This means:

  • You can get treatment in any empanelled hospital across India

  • The hospital must accept Ayushman Bharat cases from other states

  • This portability has already worked for your sister in Delhi, which is proof that the feature is active on your card

Steps to Check Empanelled Hospitals in Bilaspur

To find other hospitals in Bilaspur that accept Ayushman Bharat:

  1. Visit: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/empnlWorkFlow.htm

  2. Select:

    • State: Chhattisgarh

    • District: Bilaspur

    • Leave other filters blank or select “All Specialties”

  3. Click “Search” to get a list of valid Ayushman Bharat hospitals near you

Wishing your sister strength and a smooth recovery.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear that. A kidney cancer diagnosis can be emotionally and physically overwhelming, but timely medical care can make a big difference. Here’s what you need to know and do next:

Understanding Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer usually starts in the tissues of the kidney. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma. Early stages may not show symptoms, but later signs can include:

  • Blood in urine

  • Pain in the lower back or side

  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

What Should You Do Next?

  1. Confirm the Diagnosis

    • Ensure the cancer has been diagnosed via CT scan, biopsy, or imaging tests.

    • A urologist or oncologist should be involved to plan the right course.

  2. Understand the Stage

    • Treatment depends heavily on whether the cancer is localised, advanced, or has spread (metastasis).

  3. Possible Treatments

    • Surgery (like partial or full nephrectomy) – is often done if the cancer is confined to the kidney.

    • Targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy – if the cancer has spread.

    • Radiation therapy in certain cases.

  4. Take a Second Opinion

    • Always beneficial before starting a major treatment.

How HexaHealth Can Help You?

  • Help you book appointments with kidney cancer specialists (oncologists, uro-oncologists)

  • Arrange second opinions from top doctors

  • Suggest the best hospitals near you

  • Assist with insurance or financial aid options

Please share your city/location and whether you have private insurance so we can guide you more specifically.

Wishing you speedy recovery and good health!

Namaste Vijay ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern.

When you mention “Big Tromma” in your mouth for the last 10 years, it’s possible that you’re referring to a tumour or a chronic growth. Any long-standing lump, swelling, or lesion in the mouth—especially for such a long duration—must be evaluated by a specialist without delay.

🔍 Here’s what we recommend:

  • Consult an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon or ENT specialist at the earliest. They can examine the area thoroughly.
  • A biopsy or scan (like an MRI or CT) might be advised to understand the nature of the growth—whether it's benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
  • Treatment will depend on the diagnosis:

    Benign tumours can often be surgically removed.
    If it’s a malignant tumour, a combination of surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy may be needed.


🛑 Important Tips:

  • Do not ignore persistent mouth swellings, especially if they are growing, painful, ulcerated, or bleeding.
  • Avoid tobacco and alcohol if you use them, as they can worsen oral conditions.
  • Maintain good oral hygiene and a healthy diet to support healing and prevention.
  • Feel free to connect with us if you wish to consult with the oncologist or specialists for your treatment.
