Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) is a digital health ID and account number created for each beneficiary of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY). It is created by the integration of mobile numbers and Aadhar numbers of the beneficiaries.
How does ABHA work?
ABHA is linked with the electronic health records (EHR) of the healthcare providers and beneficiaries. It helps in creating a seamless transaction and payment system for healthcare services. ABHA also enables the payment of health services through mobile wallets. This cashless transaction reduces the financial burden on the beneficiaries.
Benefits of ABHA
Not only this, ABHA brings transparency into the healthcare sector. It helps in tracking the utilisation of the funds and ensures their efficient allocation. It also helps in identifying the beneficiaries who require financial assistance.
How to create an ABHA account?
To create an ABHA account, beneficiaries need to visit the official ABHA website or download the ABHA mobile application. They will need to provide their mobile number, Aadhar number, and other personal details. Once the account is created, beneficiaries will be able to access their health records, view their claims, and make payments for healthcare services.
Future of ABHA
ABHA is a new initiative, but it has the potential to revolutionise the way healthcare is delivered in India. By providing a digital health ID and account number for each beneficiary, ABHA can help to improve access to healthcare, reduce costs, and improve the quality of care.
