Agartala, Feb 6 (PTI) The Tripura government will soon introduce a health insurance scheme to provide Rs 5-lakh cover for families which have not been included in the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), a minister said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Of the 9.75 lakh families in the northeastern state, around 5.49 lakh have already been covered under the PM-JAY.<\/p>\n
As many as 4.15 lakh families will get the benefit under the Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana (CMJAY), Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury told reporters.<\/p>\n
Besides, 10,000 workers’ families registered with the Labour Department will also be eligible for the health benefit.<\/p>\n
“The state cabinet, in its last meeting held on Monday, has cleared the proposal for introducing CM-JAY for 4.15 lakh families which are not included in the PM-JAY,” the minister said.<\/p>\n
In the last budget speech, Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy announced that the CM-JAY would be introduced for the benefit of the people who are not covered under the PM-JAY, and Rs 59 crore was provisioned in the budget.<\/p>\n
“Initially, Rs 59 crore was sanctioned for unveiling CM-JAY but now it has been increased to Rs 104 crore annually. With this, all the families in the state will get the benefit of health insurance of Rs. 5 lakh per annum”, he said.<\/p>\n
“The CM-JAY scheme is prepared in line with the PM-JAY as the benefit will be cashless and paperless. The insurance cover is Rs 5 lakh for each family annually and it will be available in all the 26,000 hospitals across the country. It is a revolutionary decision of the BJP government which reflects the prime minister’s vision- Sabka Saath Saab Ka Vikash”, he added.<\/p>\n
