The flagship program Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) has approved health coverage for all senior citizens aged 70 and beyond, regardless of income. The Union Cabinet is chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This is intended to help about 4.5 crore families and provide six (6) crore senior adults with free health insurance coverage of five lakh rupees per family.
The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), and the Ayushman Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) are just a few examples of public health insurance programs that senior citizens 70 years of age and older who are currently enrolled in may choose to continue with their current plan or enroll in AB PMJAY. It has been made clear that senior adults 70 years of age and older who are covered by Employees' State Insurance or private health insurance policies will be qualified to receive benefits under AB PM-JAY.
