Dear Anmol ji,

CT coronary angiography is covered under the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) scheme when done at an empanelled hospital. Yes, it is confirmed that Pragma Superspeciality Hospital, Bathinda is empanelled under Ayushman Bharat and eligible for providing cashless services under this scheme.

If the hospital has the facility for CT coronary angiography (which it likely does under its cardiology department led by Dr. G.S. Gill), then your test can be done cashless there using your Ayushman card.

How to Confirm & Access CT Angiography under Ayushman Bharat

You can also check hospital empanelment and procedure coverage using the following steps:

• Visit the Ayushman hospital finder: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

• Select State: Punjab and District: Bathinda

• Choose Hospital Type: Government or Private

Dear Pradeep ji,

Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) does not typically cover standalone outpatient tests like ECG or 2nd echo when done outside of hospitalization, as it's focused on inpatient treatments.

What You Can Do:

• Option 1: If tests are required during or after hospital admission, they’ll likely be included in the cashless treatment under PM-JAY.

• Option 2: If you only need outpatient ECG or echo, you may need to pay privately. HexaHealth can help find affordable diagnostic labs or check if any financial aid options like EMIs or insurance apply.

How HexaHealth Can Assist:

• Connect with hospitals in Gwalior (or your area) for comprehensive care

• Suggest affordable diagnostic labs if tests are outpatient

• Help with insurance checks, EMI plans, and paperwork support

Please share more details—like your city and whether admission is planned—and we’ll guide you accurately.

Dear Manish ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. Cryatonic congenital heart disease and dysfunction of the diastolic bicuspid valve (likely referring to a bicuspid aortic valve with diastolic dysfunction) are serious but treatable cardiac conditions—especially when managed early.

At just 22 years old, timely intervention can make a big difference in your heart health and future quality of life.

What You Should Do Immediately

• Consult a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon for a detailed heart function assessment

• Important tests may include 2D Echo, ECG, cardiac MRI, or angiography

• Based on findings, treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical intervention

Surgical Treatment Options

If the condition is severe or progressing, your cardiologist may recommend:

• Valve Repair Surgery: In early-stage bicuspid valve dysfunction, surgeons may attempt to reshape or repair the existing valve

• Valve Replacement Surgery: If the valve is significantly damaged, it may need to be replaced with a mechanical or biological valve

• Congenital Heart Defect Correction: If you have any associated structural heart issues (like septal defects or coarctation), they may be surgically corrected during the same procedure

• Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery: In select cases, valve repair or replacement can be done via a small incision with quicker recovery

• TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation): In very specific situations, this catheter-based procedure may be an option

Recovery depends on the type of surgery but generally ranges from 4–8 weeks, with lifelong follow-up required for valve health and heart function.

Ayushman Bharat Can Cover the Full Treatment

Your condition and age make you eligible for free treatment under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) if done at an empanelled hospital. This includes:

What You Should Do Now

• Chest X-ray and ECG karaayein

• Pulmonologist ya cardiologist se consult lein

• Smoking immediately quit karein — ye sabse zaruri kadam hai

Dear Nagesh ji,

A heart attack can be sudden, but your body often gives early warning signs. Recognising these symptoms and following a heart-healthy lifestyle can help prevent serious complications in the future.

Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Here are the most common signs of a heart attack that you should never ignore:

• Chest pain or tightness, usually on the left side

• Shortness of breath, especially during light activity or at rest

• Pain or discomfort spreading to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back

• Cold sweat, dizziness, or a sense of uneasiness

• In some cases, nausea, indigestion, or fatigue—more common in women

If these symptoms last longer than 10–15 minutes, it is important to seek emergency medical care immediately.
