Ayushman Bharat registration: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship healthcare scheme is all set to see the light of the day on September 23. The PM will be launching the scheme, nicknamed ModiCare, from Jharkhand on Sunday. Around 200 hospitals have already been empanelled under the scheme in the state. Ayushman Bharat will have around 50 crore beneficiaries. The Ayushman Bharat scheme aims to provide healthcare facilities worth Rs 5 lakh annually to 10 crore families and over 50 crore people. Eligible people can avail the benefits in the government and listed private hospitals.
     
With the scheme expected to be very popular, mischief-makers are looking to take advantage of innocent and gullible people. Even before the launch of the scheme, messages are circulating on the social media claiming that the public will have to pay Rs 1324 for Ayushman Bharat registration. These messages claim that after registration, the person can avail free treatment with benefits of up to Rs 5 lakh in government and private hospitals.
