Ayushman Card Hospital in Gopalganj: PM-JAY at Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital

Yes. We have been empanelled under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY since about January 2022, with renewal in July 2025. Our empanelment covers general surgery and laparoscopic surgery packages, about 50 procedures, such as gallbladder stone, hernia, hydrocele and appendix operations. Our Ayushman help desk is inside the hospital. Please call +91 72739 94786 to check before you travel.

First, see Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur in our OPD; he decides what treatment you need. Then bring your documents to our Ayushman help desk, where the patient's identity and eligibility are verified, usually through Aadhaar. If your operation falls under a package we are empanelled for, we request approval (pre-authorisation) from the scheme. Once it is approved, we admit you and the operation goes ahead.

No. PM-JAY works through fixed packages, and each hospital is empanelled only for certain specialities. Our empanelment covers general and laparoscopic surgery packages. As of mid-2025, gynaecology and urology packages were not included, so operations such as hysterectomy, kidney stone or prostate surgery may not be covered at our hospital. Our help desk confirms each case before admission.

Visit the official portal beneficiary.nha.gov.in and search with the details it asks for, such as your Aadhaar number. You can also call the national helpline 14555, visit a Common Service Centre, or ask at our Ayushman help desk. Eligibility is decided by the government from its own lists, not by us.

Please bring the Ayushman card or its number, the patient's Aadhaar card, and a mobile phone linked to that Aadhaar for OTP. Bring a ration card if our help desk asks for it, and all old reports, prescriptions and discharge papers. Meeting our help desk right after your OPD visit helps avoid delays before surgery.

From 2024, PM-JAY was extended to all senior citizens aged 70 and above, regardless of family income, through the Ayushman Vay Vandana card. He can apply through the official Ayushman app, the beneficiary portal or a Common Service Centre. Once he has the card, our help desk will check whether his operation is covered here. Please check the latest rules on 14555.

First, ask our help desk to explain the reason. Sometimes a missing document or detail can be added and the request sent again. If the procedure is not covered here, our doctor will explain your options and the costs before admission. For doubts or complaints about the scheme, you can call the national helpline 14555.

Yes. PM-JAY can be used at empanelled private hospitals as well as government hospitals, but only for the packages each hospital is empanelled for. Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital is a private hospital empanelled for general surgery and laparoscopic surgery packages. You can ask the national helpline 14555 which hospitals near you are empanelled, and our help desk will confirm your case before admission.
