PMJAY-Ayushman Bharat launched in Tamil Nadu integrated with state scheme
Chennai: Tamil Nadu government Sunday launched the Centre's ambitious health insurance project as an integrated initiative of the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS) in the state.
"In Tamil Nadu, the integrated scheme of CMCHIS with Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) was launched by Health Minister C Vijayabaskar," an official release said.
It is a fully state-funded scheme for providing cashless treatment in secondary and tertiary care hospitals for the poor and the underprivileged, the release said.
The release said Tamil Nadu government has announced that the state insurance scheme "will be suitably dovetailed" with the National Health Protection Scheme, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Ranchi in Jharkhand Sunday.
The state government had earlier signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this purpose, it added.
