All About Ayushman Bharat Health Account and ABHA Simplifying Healthcare Management in India

What is ABHA?
ABHA, or Ayushman Bharat Health Account, is a key part of India's national health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY). It's a digital platform that aims to streamline healthcare delivery and financial management.

How does ABHA benefit you?
Financial Protection: ABHA helps eligible beneficiaries under AB-PMJAY receive cashless medical care at designated hospitals, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
Seamless Healthcare: ABHA links your medical records across different healthcare providers. This allows doctors to access your complete medical history for better treatment decisions.
Data Security & Control: You have complete control over your health data. The ABHA mobile app lets you securely share your medical records with healthcare providers with your consent.

Key features of ABHA:
Unique Health ID (ABHA Number): A 14-digit number that acts as your unique identifier within the healthcare system.
ABHA Address: An easy-to-remember username for accessing and sharing your health records electronically.
Portable Medical Records: Your health records are linked to your ABHA number, allowing you to access them from any healthcare provider using the ABHA platform.
