Context:-
East Singhbhum deputy development commissioner directed all private hospitals and nursing homes to register themselves by logging into www.abnhpm.gov.in so that the economically backward families having yellow and pink ration cards could avail a health cover of up to Rs 5 lakh under the Ayushman Bharat scheme .
Bodam block had emerged first among 11 blocks in the district in terms of the execution of schemes such as Swachh Bharat Mission and MGNREGS and implementation of the 14th Finance Commission recommendations.
Ayushman Bharat Scheme :-
The scheme is targeted at poor, deprived rural families and identified occupational category of urban workers' families. So, if we were to go by the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data, 8.03 crore families in rural and 2.33 crore in urban areas will be entitled to be covered under these scheme, i.e., it will cover around 50 crore people.
AB-NHPS will have a defined benefit cover of Rs 5 lakh per family (on a family floater basis) per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation. It will offer a benefit cover of Rs 5 lakh per family per year. It will subsume the existing Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY).
To ensure that nobody is left out (especially women, children and the elderly), there will be no cap on the family size and age under the AB-NHPS. The scheme will be cashless and paperless at public hospitals and empanelled private hospitals.
AB-NHPM will be an entitlement based scheme where it will be decided on the basis of deprivation criteria in the SECC database. The beneficiaries are identified based on the deprivation categories (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D7) identified under the SECC database for rural areas. For the urban areas, the 11 occupational criteria will determine entitlement. In addition, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) beneficiaries in states where it is active are also included.
Rural Area :- The different categories in rural areas include families having only one room with kucha walls and kucha roof; families having no adult member between the ages of 16 years and 59 years; female-headed households with no adult male member between the ages of 16 years and 59 years; disabled members and no able-bodied adult member in the family; SC/ST households; and landless households deriving major part of their income from manual casual labour.
Urban area categories: For urban areas, 11 defined occupational categories are entitled under the scheme. Main source of income related to household has been clarified in urban areas as beggars; rag-pickers; domestic workers; street vendors/cobblers/hawkers/other service providers working on the streets; construction workers/ plumbers/ masons/ labor/ painters/ welders/ security guards/coolies and other head-load workers; Sweepers/ sanitation workers/ malis; Home-based workers, etc.
Role of Hospitals :- The beneficiaries will not be required to pay any charges and premium for the hospitalisation expenses. The benefit also include pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses.
Each empanelled hospital will have an 'Ayushman Mitra' to assist patients and will coordinate with beneficiaries and the hospital. They will run a help desk, check documents to verify the eligibility, and enrolment to the scheme.
