Karnataka has recorded the highest ever pre-authorisations under the Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka, its flagship health insurance scheme, in May this year that saw 1.55 lakh.
While over 13 lakh pre-authorisations were recorded in the whole of last year, nearly 3 lakh have been recorded in the first two months of this financial year itself.
According to data from the Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust (SAST), the nodal agency that is implementing the health scheme, this year so far the demand is high for simple secondary general procedures followed by general medicine and gynaecology.
