ABDM Hospital Update 2026: Health Facilities Asked to Verify HFR Mapping on Official Portal
ABDM HFR Mapping Update 2026: Hospitals and healthcare institutions have been reminded to ensure that their Health Facility Registry (HFR) mapping is correctly verified on the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) portal.
The advisory highlights the importance of maintaining accurate hospital registration and mapping information within India's digital healthcare infrastructure.
Correct HFR mapping helps ensure that healthcare facilities are properly identified and linked with their official digital records.
Hospital administrators and authorised officials should review the listed facilities, check their registry details and resolve any discrepancies through the appropriate ABDM channels.
What Is HFR Under Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission?
The Health Facility Registry is a national digital directory of healthcare facilities developed under ABDM.
It covers different categories of healthcare institutions, including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres and other eligible facilities.
Each registered facility is associated with an identity within the digital health ecosystem.
The registry is intended to support accurate identification and verification of healthcare establishments.
Why Is Correct HFR Mapping Important?
Incorrect or incomplete mapping can create inconsistencies between a hospital's registration information and its digital health records.
Verifying the mapping helps ensure that the correct facility is associated with its official HFR entry.
Accurate records also support administrative coordination and the integration of eligible healthcare facilities with ABDM-enabled digital services.
However, HFR registration or mapping should not be confused with approval to provide cashless treatment under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY.
PM-JAY empanelment is a separate process governed by its own eligibility and approval requirements.
What Should Hospitals Verify?
Authorised officials should check the following information:
-
The hospital's registered name and facility identity.
-
The HFR ID associated with the facility.
-
The registered address and location details.
-
The facility category and ownership information.
-
Whether the listed hospital is mapped to the correct registry entry.
-
Whether any duplicate, outdated or incorrect records require correction.
The exact verification requirements depend on the portal workflow and instructions issued by the relevant authority.
How to Check HFR Mapping on the ABDM Portal
Hospital administrators can access the official ABDM Health Facility Registry portal at:
They should sign in through the authorised facility or administrative account, locate the relevant registration details and check the available mapping information.
If a discrepancy is identified, the authorised user should follow the portal's correction or verification procedure.
Where an issue cannot be resolved directly, the facility should contact the appropriate ABDM support team or designated administrative authority.
Is There a New Deadline for HFR Verification?
The shared advisory asks that all listed hospitals have their HFR mapping correctly verified.
However, it does not specify a deadline, identify the hospitals covered or announce a penalty for non-compliance.
Therefore, hospitals should follow any separate instructions received from their state health department or the responsible authority.
Final Update
Correct HFR mapping is an important part of maintaining reliable healthcare facility records under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.
Hospitals and authorised administrators should review their registered information, verify the corresponding HFR entries and correct any mismatches.
The key instruction is to ensure that every hospital on the relevant list is accurately mapped and verified on the official ABDM portal.
