They end up going to the wrong hospitals, where they end up spending a lot of money on treatment. Therefore, it is important to find out in advance whether your nearest hospital is covered under the Ayushman scheme. Let’s know how to do this.

Helpline Number: You can call 14555 or 1800-111-565 to find your nearest hospital.
