Ayushman Bharat or Modicare, the Central Government aims to provide a health insurance cover of Rs 5 lakh to 500 million Indians free of cost. This includes families from lower income groups that fall under the socio-economic caste census (SECC) data of 2011. PM-JAY envisions to help mitigate catastrophic expenditure on medical treatment which pushes nearly 6 crore Indians into poverty each year. In Tamil nadu a scheme called ‘Chief Minister Kalaignar’s Insurance Scheme for Life Saving Treatments’ (KHIS) was launched in the year 2009 to ensure that poor and low income groups who cannot afford costly treatment, are able to get free treatment in Government as well as private hospitals for serious ailments. Later this scheme was modified with extended coverage in the year 2011 and re-launched in the name of ‘Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS)’. Under this scheme, the sum assured for each is revised as Rs.1 lakh every year for a total period of four years and for a total value of Rs. 4 lakh. Now, a value addition is made to the exicting CMCHIS, after the launch of PM-JAY, providing an insurance cover upto Rs 5 lakh per family, per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalization
