What does a day of your ABHA ID look like?

 

Now that you have your ID, are you wondering what a day in life with ABHA might look like? Let’s take a look:

Scenario 1: To find top-notch healthcare providers

ABHA lists many public and private healthcare institutes for its users. With your ABHA ID, you can access this list and register at any of the empanelled hospitals. Now you don’t have to worry about standing in line for an appointment for hours. You can simply schedule the appointment and directly visit the clinic or hospital.

This is an advantage, especially if you’re living in a part of the country where healthcare facilities are still in progress. ABHA users from every part of the country, irrespective of economic status, can access quality treatment.

Scenario 2: During an emergency

You and your significant other are expecting your first baby. Suddenly, your wife starts experiencing excruciating pain in the middle of the night. You have to immediately rush her to the hospital to get medical attention. There is no time to find or arrange your hospital records. In such a scenario, ABHA acts like a blessing.

You can easily access and share all your medical records from your mobile. With ABHA, you have one less thing to worry about during an emergency.

For beneficiaries of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, ABHA offers the advantage of making cashless transactions at the enlisted hospitals. Beneficiaries don’t have to worry about arranging money during an emergency. They can use their ABHA ID to make the payment.

Scenario 3: Track your funds

According to the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, the underprivileged population - from both rural and urban India - is provided health insurance of INR 5 lakhs.

Beneficiaries of the scheme can make cashless payments with ABHA ID and track their funds. ABHA manages the allocation and disbursement of the health insurance amount. Therefore, using your registration number, you can track the insurance funds. It is an amazing tool for keeping track of all medical expenses and preventing corruption.
 

Scenario 4: Facilitating remote monitoring
 

ABHA ensures you don’t miss out on quality treatment because of distance. It allows remote monitoring. Let’s say you are a citizen of Mumbai suffering from a critical illness. You need constant health monitoring. However, you have been asked to move to Delhi for work. You don’t have to worry about finding doctors in Delhi anymore.

Using your ABHA ID, you can share your medical data with your healthcare provider back home. They will be able to monitor your condition and suggest any necessary treatment or medications.

Now you don’t have to worry about jumping from one doctor to another anytime you move; you can simply use your ABHA registration to share your medical records.

Scenario 5: Data-driven treatment solutions

ABHA generates data-driven insights for its users. It uses predictive analytical tools to identify patterns from a patient’s medical history and generates insights. These insights are very helpful for understanding what might be causing the disease and identifying underlying conditions.

With your ABHA ID, you can get efficient healthcare. It improves medical accuracy, ensuring transparency. It also reduces diagnosis time, allowing patients to get immediate attention.
