New Delhi: The National Health Agency (NHA), the apex body implementing the Ayushman Bharat– National Health Protection Mission (AB-NHPM), has launched a website and a helpline number to help prospective beneficiaries check if their name is there in final list. The ambitious insurance scheme Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) which aims to provide a coverage of Rs 5 lakh per family annually and benefit more than 10 crore poor families will be rolled out from Jharkhand on September 23 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

They can also call the helpline number to check if he/she is eligible.

The scheme will target poor, deprived rural families and identified occupational category of urban workers families – 8.03 crore in rural and 2.33 crore in urban areas – as per the latest SECC data, and will cover around 50 crore people.
