The digital health card is a significant upgrade for the cashless treatment cover offered under MMSY. With a maximum annual benefit of ₹10 million per family, the card eliminates the need for physical paperwork during emergencies. It can be instantly presented at any empanelled hospital, reducing administrative delays.
Families can store the card securely on their smartphones, share a printed copy with relatives, or present the digital version at the point of care. The SHA has urged users to rely only on the official website for downloading the card and to keep OTPs confidential, safeguarding against fraud.
