The outbound portability of the Mukhyamantri Ayushman Aroygya (MAA) Yojana for medical treatment has benefited about 30,000 patients from Rajasthan, who have received free treatment in other States during the last six months.
Over 5,900 claims amounting to ₹17 crore have been submitted by the patients for speciality treatment in States such as Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi. These treatments included heart stent procedures, heart bypass surgery, cancer surgery, chemotherapy, dialysis and Caesarean deliveries.
The inter-State portability was activated earlier this year to give beneficiaries under the MAA Yojana access to 16,000 government and 14,000 private hospitals across the country. Premier institutions such as AIIMS Delhi and Bhopal, PGI Chandigarh, Medanta, KGMU Lucknow and U.N. Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad, were included in the scheme.
Principal Medical and Health Secretary Gayatri Rathore said here on Tuesday (July 21, 2026) that the eligible beneficiaries were availing of cashless treatment worth up to ₹25 lakh at the hospitals empanelled under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) in various States.
The integration of MAA Yojana with PMJAY has ensured free and cashless treatment for patients beyond the State’s borders. “Every eligible person from Rajasthan can access quality medical treatment even outside the State’s boundaries without any financial burden when the need arises,” Ms. Rathore said.
There are 1.36 crore eligible families under the MAA Yojana in the State. The scheme includes 2,179 treatment packages, covering common ailments as well as serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and organ transplants.
