Cashless Treatment for Road Accident Victims Up to ₹1.5 Lakh
Imagine you're in a car accident.
This new plan helps you get medical help right away without worrying about money.
The government is starting a program where they'll pay for your hospital bills up to ₹1.5 lakh, but only for about a week after the accident.
This is because it is crucial to get care quickly.
The hospitals will provide treatment first, and then the government's health team will handle the payment.
The hospitals have to give care right away, or help find a hospital that can.
This plan is meant to help save lives by ensuring people get the help they need fast.
The Cashless Treatment of Road Accident Victims Scheme, 2025 provides up to ₹1.5 lakh for treatment.
The scheme covers treatment for up to seven days from the accident date.
Cashless treatment is available at any designated hospital in India.
Hospitals must provide immediate treatment or arrange for transportation.
The National Health Authority will reimburse hospitals after bills are uploaded.
