The virtual account has been named Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana. Two separate reception-cum-registration counters have been earmarked and adequately signposted for PMJAY at PMSSY Block, SGPGIMS and Apex Trauma Centre, a press release of the institute read.
It further read, at SGPGIMS beneficiaries are provided with an approximate estimate of the expenditure by the treating doctor in terms of the provisional diagnosis, based on which specific package is blocked and registered on the portal of AB-PMJAY.

So far over 6400 beneficiaries under AB-PMJAY have availed treatment at PGI. It amounts to more than ₹13 crore.
