Launched on January 30, 2021, by the Government of Rajasthan, the Ayushman Bharat Mahatma Gandhi Rajasthan Swasthya Bima Yojana (AB-MGRSBY) combines two existing schemes, namely the Bhamashah Swasthya Bima Yojana (BSBY), a state-level scheme, and Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY), a central government scheme. AB-MGRSBY aims to provide healthcare facilities to lower-income families. Since its launch, the scheme has offered benefits to over 1.1 crore families.

Key Benefits of AB-MGRSBY

When you enrol in the Ayushman Bharat Bima Yojana Rajasthan, you get access to the following benefits:

• Cashless Cover:

Once enrolled under AB-MGRSBY, you can receive a cashless healthcare facility without paying anything from your pocket up to the sum insured amount.

• High Sum Insured:

The scheme offers medical coverage of up to ₹5 lakhs. Of this, you can use ₹4.5 lakhs for tertiary illness and the balance for secondary illness.

• Comprehensive Cover:

The scheme covers pre and post-hospitalisation charges, in-patient expenses, daycare treatment, and more. It also covers newborns and children who belong to the enrolled family members.

• Multiple Options:

The scheme is available as an individual plan, a family floater plan, and a group health cover. If you opt for a family floater, the sum insured is shared among all the covered members of your family.

• Empanelment:

You can access scheme benefits at both private and government hospitals in Rajasthan.

• Medical Packages:

Under AB-MGRSBY, beneficiaries have access to 1,576 medical packages.

How AB-MGRSBY Differs from Private Health Insurance

Here are the key distinctions between AB-MGRSBY and the health cover offered by private insurers:

Conclusion

The AB-MGRSBY offers health insurance to vulnerable families in Rajasthan. By merging central and state schemes, it offers eligible families cashless treatment of up to ₹5 lakh per year, without putting any restriction on age or family size. However, considering the surge in the cost of quality healthcare facilities, the coverage offered under this scheme may not always be sufficient. This is where it is recommended to get health insurance for a family from private insurers. The coverage offered by them comes with a flexible sum insured ranging from a few lakhs to up to a few crores. Not only that, there is no state-specific restriction, and you can avail cashless medical treatment across India at your insurer’s empanelled hospitals.
