AROGYAKIRANAM Scheme, a state-run health entitlement scheme, caters to health care needs of 0 to 18-year-old children, in government hospitals of Kerala. Apart from the 30 diseases covered under the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) scheme, all diseases (OP/IP) will be covered under the Arogyakiranam Scheme. The children below the age of one can be included under JSSK Scheme. Through this scheme, medicines, tests and treatments are available free of charge from the government hospitals to all the beneficiaries irrespective of APL / BPL and the services not available in the hospital can be availed completely free of charge from institutions empanelled with the hospital.

The Arogyakiranam scheme is being implemented by the State Health Agency from 1^st November 2022 onwards.

Whenever the beneficiary approaches the hospital for treatment, the hospital can verify whether the family is covered under the ABPMJAY/KASP scheme and if the family is not covered under KASP beneficiary, they can be included under Arogyakiranam Scheme provided that the parent of the beneficiary is not a government employee or income tax payer.

A separate OP portal is used for claiming OP services covered under the scheme and the IP services are processed through ABPMJAY TMS portal.
