Under Ayushman Bharat, families have been selected by the Government of India on the basis of SECC, 2011 and Rastriya Swasthaya Bima Yojana (RSBY). For providing the cashless treatment coverage on the analogy of Ayushman Bharat to the left-out families, the State is implementing Himachal Health Care Scheme (HIMCARE) since 1st January, 2019.
Under HIMCARE Scheme, cashless treatment coverage up to Rs. 5.00 lakh per year per family is being provided on family floater basis. In case of more than five members, the remaining members are being enrolled as a separate unit subject to the capping of five members for each such additional unit.
Premium Amount: Zero (BPL families, MGNREGA workers); 365 per year (Ekal Naris, Anganwari workers, contractual employees etc.) ; 1000 per year (others).
Under this scheme 4.62 lakh families have been registered and 1.25 lakh beneficiaries have availed ₹129.97 crore cashless treatment since the inception of this scheme.
