Empanel your hospital with the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) to provide cashless treatment to millions of beneficiaries.

Reach millions of patients. Empanel your hospital with the world's largest government-funded health insurance scheme and provide quality care to those in need.

Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) is a flagship scheme of the Government of India that aims to provide health cover of ₹5 Lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. Hospitals can partner with the scheme to provide these services to eligible beneficiaries.

Empanelment is open to all private and public hospitals that meet the minimum infrastructure and quality standards set by the National Health Authority (NHA). For a private hospital, empanelment not only increases the patient base but also demonstrates a commitment to national healthcare goals.

QuickTaxperts provides professional support for hospital empanelment, managing the online registration, infrastructure documentation, and coordination with the State Health Agencies (SHA).
