evidence: A large number of workers that were dependent on daily wages for livelihood lost their jobs due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Getting hit by a medical emergency in this situation is even worse. To mitigate the sufferings, such workers will be included as beneficiaries under the Central Government’s flagship health insurance scheme – Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. The National Health Authority (NHA) is responsible for identifying and enrolling the beneficiaries of AB-PMJAY scheme. The agency is actively coordinating with various state governments to find migrant workers and get them enrolled under this scheme. The AB-PMJAY program provides coverage for diagnostics, hospitalizations, patient’s food, post-hospitalization charges, etc. for various health-related contingencies including COVID-19. The sum insured of this health insurance plan is Rs. 5 Lakh per eligible family per year. Since this is a card-based health insurance programme, the migrant workers may not have to worry about extensive documentation or complex claim procedures. [...] The Central Government launched two ambitious schemes: Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY). While the former provides life insurance, the latter provides health coverage on payment of a nominal premium. The PMSBY scheme is for a period of one year beginning from 1 June to 31 May. The scheme has to be renewed by the 31st of May every year to continue enjoying the benefits. The premium will be auto-debited from their bank account. The PMSBY offers insurance against accidental death and disability with an annual premium of Rs.12 and coverage of Rs.2 lakh.
