Outbound portability of medical scheme benefits Rajasthan’s patients
The Mukhyamantri Ayushman Aroygya (MAA) Yojana in Rajasthan has successfully enabled 30,000 patients to receive cashless medical treatment in other Indian states over the last six months. By integrating with the national Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), the scheme now provides beneficiaries access to over 30,000 hospitals nationwide for complex procedures.
Why it matters
This initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of inter-state healthcare portability in reducing financial burdens for patients seeking specialized medical care outside their home state.
The outbound portability of the Mukhyamantri Ayushman Aroygya (MAA) Yojana for medical treatment has benefited about 30,000 patients from Rajasthan, who have received free treatment in other States during the last six months.
Over 5,900 claims amounting to ₹17 crore have been submitted by the patients for speciality treatment in States such as Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi. These treatments included heart stent procedures, heart bypass surgery, cancer surgery, chemotherapy, dialysis and Caesarean deliveries.
The inter-State portability was activated earlier this year to give beneficiaries under the MAA Yojana access to 16,000 government and 14,000 private hospitals across the country. Premier institutions such as AIIMS Delhi and Bhopal, PGI Chandigarh, Medanta, KGMU Lucknow and U.N. Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad, were included in the scheme.
