Ayushman Bharat Health Protection Scheme to combine with states health scheme

According to Ayushman Bharat National Health Protection Mission (ABNHPM) CEO Indu Bhushan,, the centre’s scheme would be combining with the state health cover schemes to provide health coverage to 100 million poor families. Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh are expected to sign memorandum of understanding (MoUs) with the Centre to this effect this month. “A large number of states have their own schemes covering more than the number of beneficiaries we are proposing,” said Bhushan. “In those cases, we are asking the states to combine the two schemes, taking the key features of ABNHPM like coverage for Rs 5 lakh, national portability, unified IT framework and coverage of all SECC (Socio-Economic and Caste Census) eligible beneficiaries.”
