1Your situation

We show only what your answers need.

Which of these is the person who needs treatment?
Is this an emergency, or planned treatment?

Not confirmed: The official texts we read do not say what counts as an emergency under this scheme. If in doubt, call 104 and ask.

Does the family of the person who needs treatment have a Telangana food security (ration) card?

Not confirmed: The Trust's scheme page names only the food security card; its old FAQ page also names the health card and white, Annapurna and Antyodaya ration cards. Whether those still count is not confirmed. Ask 104.

Is the person who needs treatment 70 or older?
Is the family on the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) list?

Why we ask: Not being on the list can close this route. If you have not checked, choose the last answer; we show you how.

Your answers stay on this phone.

2Documents you need

Tick the ones you have. They are kept in this browser.

  • If you don't have it: → Food security (ration) card
    Details

    The patient's name and photo should be on the card. If only the photo is on it, also take any photo ID, such as a voter ID, bank passbook, patta book, driving licence or school or college ID. If only the name is on it, give the Aarogyamitra a written declaration; the Aarogyamitra registers the patient after checking the online card data.

    Not confirmed: These details are from the Trust website's FAQ page, which still gives an old cover (₹2 lakh, 938 treatments), so it is out of date and some details may have changed. The texts we read do not say whether an original or a copy is needed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

    Sources: 1, 3

  • If you don't have it: → Getting a new Aadhaar
    Details

    The Trust has told private network hospitals to check Aadhaar with a biometric device at registration and at discharge.

    Not confirmed: These circulars do not say what happens without Aadhaar, or what government hospitals do; the old FAQ page does not ask for Aadhaar. This is not confirmed. The texts we read do not say whether an original or a copy is needed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

    Sources: 15, 16, 3

  • If you don't have it: → Getting a new Aadhaar
    Details

    People of 70 or more need valid proof of age; the Trust's circular says Aadhaar is being considered for the age. The Trust has also told private network hospitals to check Aadhaar with a biometric device at registration and at discharge.

    Not confirmed: The circular names only Aadhaar; it does not say whether another proof of age counts, or what happens without Aadhaar. The texts we read do not say whether an original or a copy is needed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

    Sources: 8, 15, 16

  • Details

    A copy of the e-card. If you do not have it, any one of the IDs in the "Photo ID" list here.

    If you don't have it: It is made after the identity check and approval (see the identity check step).

    Not confirmed: This is from national PM-JAY documents of 2019. We found no Telangana text on how a PM-JAY family without a food security card is treated (we could not read G.O.Ms.No.91, named in the 2021 circular).

    Not confirmed: This list is from a national PM-JAY sheet of 2019, on a district website in Bihar. We found no Telangana list. It does not say whether an original or a copy is needed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

    · Do them in order. Tick each one when it is done.

    If something goes wrong
    1. Do this now

      Do not wait for the checks below: go straight to the nearest network hospital.

      If you do not know which one, call 104. For an ambulance, call 108.

      Where
      Nearest network hospital
      Not confirmed

      This is from the Trust website's old FAQ page (it still gives ₹2 lakh, 938 treatments), which speaks of people with a white card or health card. For people without one we found no separate emergency rule; a PM-JAY document of 2019 says an entitled person can go to any empanelled hospital. Ask 104.

      Sources: 3, 2, 12, 14

    2. Do this now

      If you arrive without the card, and that treatment is covered under the scheme at that network hospital, you get 48 hours to show the card.

      Major accidents that need surgery or a week in hospital are covered; call 104 for the details.

      Where
      Network hospital
      Time limit
      48 hours to show the card, if the treatment is covered at that hospital.
      Not confirmed

      These details are from the Trust website's FAQ page, which still gives an old cover (₹2 lakh, 938 treatments), so it is out of date and some details may have changed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

      Sources: 3

    3. Do this now

      In Telangana, Aarogyasri and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) run together as one scheme ("AB PM-JAY – Rajiv Aarogyasri") through the Rajiv Aarogyasri Health Care Trust.

      It covers listed treatments, not every illness: the Trust's page gives 1672 treatments. To know whether your treatment is listed, ask a PHC doctor or a network hospital, or call 104.

      Where
      You do this yourself
      Not confirmed

      That the list is with PHC doctors and network hospitals is from the Trust's old FAQ page, so it may have changed.

      Sources: 8, 7, 1, 3

    4. Do this now

      Look at the family's food security card.

      People named and photographed on it, and in the Civil Supplies database, are covered; there is no separate enrolment. The Aarogyamitra checks the card when registering the patient at the hospital.

      Where
      You do this yourself
      Not confirmed

      The Trust website's "Card Search" page: on 04-11-2026 it was not in the site's menu, and opening it directly gave an error, so we cannot point you to an online check. "No separate enrolment" is from the Trust's old FAQ page. You can ask 104 about the scheme. The Trust's Guidelines of 2013 (old, from before Telangana was formed) say people covered for these treatments by another scheme, such as CGHS, ESIS, Railways or RTC, cannot use this one. Whether that still holds is not confirmed; ask 104.

      Sources: 1, 3, 2, 20

    5. Do this now

      Look at the family's food security card.

      People named and photographed on it, and in the Civil Supplies database, are covered. People of 70 or more also have the Vay Vandana scheme, whatever their income. When registering, ask the Aarogyamitra whether this person is registered on the card or must also enrol for Vay Vandana.

      Where
      You do this yourself
      Not confirmed

      This is not confirmed: the old FAQ page says card families need no separate enrolment; the 2025 circular says people of 70 or more should be enrolled, but not whether that includes card holders. The Trust website's "Card Search" page: on 04-11-2026 it was not in the site's menu, and opening it directly gave an error, so we cannot point you to an online check. The Trust's Guidelines of 2013 (old, from before Telangana was formed) say people covered for these treatments by another scheme, such as CGHS, ESIS, Railways or RTC, cannot use this one. Whether that still holds is not confirmed; ask 104.

      Sources: 1, 3, 2, 8, 9, 20

    6. Do this now

      Check whether the family is on the Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) list: search on the "Am I Eligible" website or call the national toll-free helpline 14555 (or 1800-111-565); you can also ask at a Common Service Centre or an empanelled hospital.

      If the family is on the list, go on to the next steps. If not, change your answer to the question above to "No".

      Where
      PM-JAY "Am I Eligible"
      Fee
      The helpline is toll-free; any Common Service Centre fee is not confirmed
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      The "Am I Eligible" website and pmjay.gov.in did not open while we wrote this, and the helpline numbers are from PM-JAY documents of 2019. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104. The PM-JAY sheet's "no payment" is about getting the benefits; whether a Common Service Centre charges a fee is not confirmed.

      Sources: 2, 11, 12

    7. Do this now

      People of 70 or more are covered by the Vay Vandana scheme, whatever their income.

      The Trust's circular says enrolment is through beneficiary.nha.gov.in and is completed during the hospital visit. If you enrol beforehand, take the Family ID you get to the hospital. NHA's "Ayushman App" (Android) also has self-verification for making an Ayushman card.

      Where
      NHA beneficiary website
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      We did not see the beneficiary.nha.gov.in website's own screens; it may ask for other documents. The circular does not say clearly whether enrolment can be finished from home or only at the hospital. The 2024 line on the Ayushman App is general; whether it works for the Vay Vandana card is not confirmed. Ask the Aarogyamitra at the hospital or call 104.

      Sources: 8, 9, 10, 2

    8. Do this now

      You can start at a nearby government hospital (PHC, CHC, area or district hospital) or a health camp near you, with the card and reports.

      The Aarogyamitra there helps with the check-up and, if needed, the referral to a network hospital. At a PHC or CHC the Aarogyamitra is there during OP hours.

      Where
      Aarogyamitra's help desk at a government hospital or PHC
      Fee
      Free
      Not confirmed

      These details are from the Trust website's FAQ page, which still gives an old cover (₹2 lakh, 938 treatments), so it is out of date and some details may have changed. Whether planned treatment needs a referral is not confirmed: the FAQ names going straight to a network hospital only for emergencies, while the scheme page says a beneficiary can go to any hospital. Ask 104.

      Sources: 3, 1

    9. Do this now

      Find a network (empanelled) hospital with the speciality you need: on the Trust website, under "Hospitals", there are "Search by Geography", "Search by Speciality" and "Search by Locality".

      You can also call 104 and ask.

      Where
      Rajiv Aarogyasri Trust website
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      A title in the Trust's list of orders shows that some procedures are reserved for government hospitals ("Government reserved procedures"); we did not read the full list. Ask 104 which hospital gives your treatment.

      Sources: 2, 3, 18

    10. Do this now

      A family on the list is entitled; a PM-JAY sheet says no payment is needed to get the benefits.

      But the identity has to be checked once: at a public hospital, an empanelled private hospital or a Common Service Centre, with a photo ID. After approval an e-card is made. If you already have the e-card, go to the next step. NHA's "Ayushman App" (Android) also has self-verification for making a card.

      Where
      Public or empanelled hospital, or Common Service Centre
      Fee
      Any Common Service Centre fee is not confirmed
      Not confirmed

      This is from national PM-JAY documents of 2019. We found no Telangana text on how a PM-JAY family without a food security card is treated (we could not read G.O.Ms.No.91, named in the 2021 circular). We also found nothing on a baby in a family with no card. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104. The PM-JAY sheet's "no payment" is about getting the benefits; whether a Common Service Centre charges a fee is not confirmed.

      Sources: 11, 12, 10, 7

    11. Do this now

      At the network hospital, go to the Aarogyasri help desk at reception.

      The Aarogyamitra (in a uniform with the Aarogyasri logo) checks the card, takes a photo and registers the patient. The Trust has told private network hospitals to check Aadhaar with a biometric device at registration. The hospital gets prior approval for the treatment online.

    12. Do this now

      At the network hospital, go to the Aarogyamitra and show proof of age.

      The circular says people of 70 or more are enrolled through beneficiary.nha.gov.in and the registration is completed during this visit; the Aarogyamitra and the hospital register the patient in the Rajiv Aarogyasri system with the Family ID from that portal enrolment. The Trust has told private network hospitals to check Aadhaar with a biometric device at registration.

      Where
      Aarogyamitra at the network hospital
      Not confirmed

      This circular is written to hospitals; it does not say what else the patient must bring, and has no separate rule for emergencies. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

      Sources: 8, 15, 16

    13. Do this now

      At the empanelled hospital, go to the Aarogyamitra ("Pradhan Mantri Arogya Mitra" in the PM-JAY document) and show the e-card, or a photo ID if you do not have it.

      The Aarogyamitra helps with admission and, if the treatment needs it, with asking for prior approval; a few procedures are approved automatically. The Trust has told private network hospitals to check Aadhaar with a biometric device at registration.

      Where
      Aarogyamitra at the empanelled hospital
      Not confirmed

      This is from national PM-JAY documents of 2019. We found no Telangana text on how a PM-JAY family without a food security card is treated (we could not read G.O.Ms.No.91, named in the 2021 circular).

      Sources: 12, 15, 16, 7

    14. Do this now

      Covered treatment is cashless, up to ₹10 lakh per family a year: tests, treatment and food in hospital are free.

      If the tests show the illness is not one the scheme covers, you do not pay for those tests; after that you can go to a government hospital, or pay to continue in the same hospital. The Trust's page says that for treatments the scheme covers, BPL families can no longer ask for relief from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF).

      The Trust's Guidelines of 2013 (old, from before Telangana was formed) say out-patient services are not part of the listed therapies, and that a package's stay covers ICU, post-operative and general ward beds. Whether that still holds is not confirmed. "Pay to continue" is from the Trust's old FAQ page, so it may have changed. Ask the Aarogyamitra or call 104.

For 125 identified surgeries or therapies, free follow-up (consultation, tests, medicines) is given from the 11th day after discharge for one year; ask the MEDCO or the Aarogyamitra.
