NHA Pilots AI To Adjudicate Ayushman Bharat Claims

The National Health Authority announced on March 6, 2026 that it will pilot an AI system to process Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) claims in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The system aims to curb fraud, speed approvals, and reduce payment delays, initially focusing on selected treatments such as kidney care and dialysis. If successful, officials may expand the system nationwide.
