Role of the Hospital Ayushman Mitra

🏥 What to do at the hospital desk:

Every empaneled hospital has a dedicated Ayushman Mitra Helpdesk located near the registration or casualty desk.

  • Show your Ayushman Card (e-card PDF or plastic card) and Aadhaar card to the Ayushman Mitra.
  • The Ayushman Mitra verifies your e-KYC photo on the portal and generates a cashless pre-authorization request for your admission.
