ASHA and Anganwadi workers in Uttar Pradesh can receive health coverage under the Ayushman Bharat scheme through an Ayushman Card. Eligible workers can access cashless medical treatment of up to ₹5 lakh annually at hospitals empanelled under the scheme.
However, the benefit is not automatically available to every ASHA or Anganwadi worker. The government has prepared a list of eligible beneficiaries, and only those whose names appear in the official database can receive the card. Workers should check their eligibility before starting the application process.
Who Can Get an Ayushman Card?
ASHA and Anganwadi workers in Uttar Pradesh may qualify for an Ayushman Card if their names are included in the government’s list of eligible beneficiaries.
Applicants must be able to provide the required documents to establish their identity. They also need to complete the mandatory eKYC process while applying online.
Checking the eligibility list is an important first step, as being employed as an ASHA or Anganwadi worker alone does not guarantee approval.
How to Apply for an Ayushman Card Online
Eligible ASHA and Anganwadi workers can follow these steps to apply for their Ayushman Card:
- Visit the official Ayushman Bharat website.
- Choose the Beneficiary option.
- Enter your mobile number and log in using the OTP received on your phone.
- Select Uttar Pradesh as your state and provide the required details.
- Search for your name in the beneficiary list and check your eligibility.
- Complete the eKYC process as instructed.
- Review the entered information and click Submit.
- After successful verification and completion of the process, download your Ayushman Card.
Check Eligibility Before Applying
ASHA and Anganwadi workers should first confirm that their names are available in the government’s eligible beneficiary database. They should also keep the necessary identity documents ready to complete eKYC and verification.
Once the application details have been verified and the process is completed, eligible beneficiaries can download their Ayushman Card and use it to access the scheme’s cashless treatment benefits at empanelled hospitals.
