What does hospital "grading" mean?

Ayushman Bharat does not give hospitals a simple star rating. When you look a hospital up on the official portal, you will see facts that together tell you how good a fit it is. Here is how to read them:

Accreditation is useful, but not having it does not mean a hospital is unsafe. Look at the speciality you need, the doctors and the hospital's reputation as well.

How to check the official list of empanelled hospitals

This is the only way to be sure that a hospital is empanelled for your treatment.

1. Open the official hospital search from the PM-JAY website. If one address does not open, go to the main PM-JAY site and find the "Find Hospital" option.
2. Choose the state and district. Select West Bengal and then your district.
3. Pick the hospital type. You can choose public, private or both.
4. Filter by speciality if you need a specific treatment, such as cardiology, orthopaedics or cancer care.
5. Open the hospital's details. Check the address, contact number, empanelled specialities, bed strength and accreditation.
6. Call to confirm. Ring the hospital or the helpline 14555 to confirm that your treatment is covered and ask what documents to bring.

How cashless treatment works

1. Visit the Ayushman Mitra desk. The Ayushman Mitra is a staff member at the hospital who helps beneficiaries.
2. Show your card and ID. Your identity is checked.
3. Doctor advises admission. The hospital selects the treatment package.
4. Pre-authorisation. For most planned treatment, the hospital asks for approval before it starts.
5. Get treated. Covered treatment should not need an upfront payment.
6. Discharge. The hospital sends the claim. You should not be asked to pay for covered services.

The cover is up to ₹5 lakh per family per year, mainly for hospital admission and listed procedures. Routine outpatient visits and some treatments may not be covered, so ask the hospital in advance.
