Under the AB-PMJAY framework, the adoption of AI-based tools is expected to enhance operational efficiency and ensure smoother claim settlements for millions of beneficiaries across the country.
Officials noted that such innovations will support better monitoring, fraud detection, and data-driven decision-making within the health insurance ecosystem.
Conclusion
The government stated that the initiative marks a significant step toward building a technology-enabled healthcare system, strengthening digital governance, and improving citizen-centric service delivery under Ayushman Bharat.
