NEW DELHI - The Employees' State Insurance Corp. is working towards converging with the government's flagship universal health coverage scheme--the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. The move will benefit over 144.3 million beneficiaries of the Employees' State Insurance scheme with greater access to comprehensive medical care across India, the labour ministry said on Thursday.
"ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corp.) is working at expanding healthcare access to the workforce and their dependants, by converging the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation with facilities of Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana," the labour ministry said in a release. "...through this convergence, ESIC beneficiaries will be able to avail the secondary and the tertiary medical services at over 30,000 AB-PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana)-empanelled hospitals nationwide, with no financial ceilings on treatment costs."
This partnership will also ensure that treatment expenses are fully covered, making healthcare easily accessible and affordable for all beneficiaries, the ministry said. End
