Access to quality tertiary healthcare without crippling out-of-pocket medical debt has been a cornerstone of Odisha’s healthcare policy. Under the state’s comprehensive health assurance framework, beneficiary families receive cashless treatment spanning 4,000+ medical and surgical procedures across empanelled healthcare centers inside and outside Odisha.

Treatment limits provide up to ₹5 lakh per family per annum, with an enhanced financial cushion of up to ₹10 lakh dedicated specifically for female members of the household.

Top Empanelled Hospitals Outside Odisha

Recognizing that advanced super-specialty interventions like bone marrow transplants, pediatric cardiac surgeries, and rare oncological therapies frequently require specialized metropolitan facilities, the state has empanelled top hospital networks across major medical hubs:

  • Kolkata: Tata Medical Center, Apollo Gleneagles, Fortis Hospital, AMRI Hospitals
  • Visakhapatnam & Hyderabad: KIMS Hospitals, CARE Hospitals, Yashoda Hospitals
  • Bengaluru & Chennai: Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore referral channels

Swasthya Mitra Assistance at Hospital Reception

To eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks for patients arriving from remote rural corners of Koraput, Mayurbhanj, or Kalahandi, dedicated bilingual Swasthya Mitras (Patient Help Desk Executives) are stationed 24/7 at hospital helpdesks.

Swasthya Mitras verify Aadhaar / Ration Card credentials, facilitate real-time biometric e-KYC approval with the state health insurance server, and ensure patients incur zero expenses for medicines, diagnostics, ICU charges, and discharge medication.
