Worried about the cost of kidney stone or prostate treatment? Here is how the Ayushman Bharat–Arogya Karnataka scheme works, who can use it, and how to get free urology treatment at Sanyra Hospital.
Many people live with kidney stone pain, a weak urine stream or repeated urine infections for months. Often the reason is not fear of the doctor. It is fear of the bill.
If you hold a BPL card in Karnataka, or you are 70 years or older, you may be able to get urology surgery and hospital care at no cost. The Ayushman Bharat–Arogya Karnataka scheme makes this possible. At Sanyra Hospital in Kengeri, our urology team helps eligible patients use it from the first visit to discharge.
Below, we explain the scheme in simple words.
At a glance
Ayushman Bharat is a health scheme run by the Government of India. It gives poor and low-income families cashless hospital treatment.
Karnataka joined it with its own state scheme, Arogya Karnataka. Together they are called Ayushman Bharat–Arogya Karnataka, or AB-ArK. The scheme is managed by the Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust (SAST).
You do not pay the hospital for covered treatment. The government pays the hospital directly.
There are three main groups:
Families with a BPL (Below Poverty Line) ration card get fully cashless treatment for covered procedures.
Families with an APL card can also use the scheme. They get part of the cost covered and pay the rest at a lower, fixed rate.
Karnataka now covers all citizens aged 70 and above, whatever their income. Seniors in families already covered get an extra top-up cover.
If you are not sure which group you fall in, our Arogya Mitra desk can check for you using your ration card and Aadhaar.
Eligible families get cover of up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for hospital treatment.
The cover is shared by the whole family, not given to each person. Each surgery or treatment has a fixed “package” under the scheme. The package usually includes:
At Sanyra Hospital, our urology centre is led by Dr. Rajendra Prasad KN, MCh Urology. Common urology problems treated under the scheme include:
Treatment with ESWL (shock waves), RIRS (laser through a thin scope) or surgery for large stones. Kidney Stone Treatment
A blocked urine pipe, for example from a stuck stone.
Such as bladder stones or trouble emptying the bladder.
Surgery for prostate, kidney, bladder or testicular cancer. Prostate Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Bladder Cancer
Narrowing of the urine passage.
Whether your treatment is covered depends on the approved package for your condition. Our team confirms this before admission, so you know where you stand.
It helps to know the limits so there are no surprises:
If any part of your care falls outside the scheme, we will tell you clearly in advance.
Keep these ready when you visit:
The card can be made with your ration card and Aadhaar for a small fee of ₹10. You can also check your eligibility online at arogya.karnataka.gov.in.
Come to Sanyra Hospital in Kengeri or call us on +91 84316 68979. Mention that you want treatment under Ayushman Bharat.
The Arogya Mitra is the scheme helper at the hospital. They check your card, verify your eligibility and guide you through the paperwork.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad KN examines you and orders the tests needed, such as an ultrasound, urine test or CT scan.
If you need admission or surgery, the hospital sends your details to the scheme for approval. You do not have to handle it yourself.
Once approved, you get your treatment. For covered care, you go home without paying the hospital bill.
Many urology problems get worse with time:
Waiting often turns a simple procedure into a bigger operation. If cost is what is stopping you, the scheme may remove that worry.
