Ayushman Vaya Vandana: How can 70+ elderly people get Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card made at home..

Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which provides free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, now even people of 70+ years can get their card made. This card is called the Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card. You do not need to go anywhere to get an Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card made. You can easily complete this work sitting at your home. National Health Authority (NHA) has given information about this by sharing a video on X.

First, install the Ayushman app.

To get the Ayushman Vaya Vandana card made, first go to the Google Play Store and install the Ayushman app. After this, log in as a beneficiary or operator. Enter the captcha code, mobile number, etc., and do authentication.

Do e-KYC

After this, go to the option of Search For Beneficiary and enter the Aadhaar number and check whether your name already exists or not. Now select the beneficiary for e-KYC. Select the checkbox for consent and proceed.

Download the card after e-KYC.

Enter mobile and Aadhaar OTP for verification. After verification, take a photo in the next step and fill in the rest of the information. After some time of e-KYC completion, you can download the Aadhaar card.

If there is still confusion, it will be cleared here
If there is still any confusion in your mind even after this information, then you can go to the official website of https://nha.gov.in/PM-JAY and get other information. Apart from this, you can also inquire about this by visiting the nearest Common Service Center (CSC).

Do not have this misconception.
It is necessary to have an Ayushman card already for the registration of the Ayushman Vaya Vandana Card, this is just a myth. All the elderly of 70+ can take advantage of this scheme, whether their family is already a beneficiary of Ayushman card or not.

Will every elderly person in the family get coverage of Rs 5 lakh?

No, the 'Ayushman Card' made under this scheme will be a shared health cover. Meaning this health coverage will be given on a family basis. You have to enroll one family member aged 70 years or above and after that, you can add the rest of the elderly of the family who are 70 years or above to that card by giving their names and details. But remember that all the elderly of the family who are enrolled in it will come under this coverage of Rs 5 lakh. Not everyone will get coverage of Rs 5 lakh separately. Meaning the annual limit of Rs 5 lakh will be shared among them as part of the same family.
