Assam Employee Health Assurance Scheme (EHAS) 2026 - Now Covered Under Mukhya Mantri Lok Seva Arogya Yojana

Assam Employee Health Assurance Scheme (EHAS) 2026 was launched by Assam government in February 2021 to provide health care cover to around 4.3 lakh state government employees. The scheme has since been replaced by the Ayushman Asom Mukhya Mantri Lok Sevak Arogya Yojana (AA-MMLSAY), which now covers state employees, pensioners and their dependents with cashless treatment.

Under the earlier EHAS, the state government paid the insurance premium on behalf of employees and pensioners. The scheme offered cashless treatment through an insurance company and a network of empanelled hospitals, and covered pre-existing diseases from day one. Out-patient treatment was not part of the cover.

As per the provisions of the Assam Employee Health Assurance Scheme 2026, all state government employees were required to be members of EHAS. The Assam government paid the insurance premium on behalf of employees and pensioners to the insurance company. Around 4.3 lakh state government employees were expected to benefit from the scheme.

In addition, state government pensioners were allowed to join the EHAS scheme on an optional basis. The scheme covered cashless treatment through an insurance company and a network of empanelled hospitals as per the criteria set by the Assam government.

EHAS Replaced by Mukhya Mantri Lok Seva Arogya Yojana

EHAS has been replaced by the Ayushman Asom Mukhya Mantri Lok Sevak Arogya Yojana (AA-MMLSAY), which is now the main health scheme for state government employees and pensioners. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched the scheme on October 2, 2023, and relaunched it with a cashless treatment facility on October 29, 2025.

Under the new scheme, employees, pensioners and their dependents can get cashless treatment at empanelled hospitals. They can also choose the traditional reimbursement model if they prefer. The cover is up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year, with treatment costs set at CGHS-approved rates.

So far, over 2.23 lakh employees and more than 6,000 pensioners have registered under the scheme, and more than Rs 65 crore in claims have been processed. Registration stays open at all times on the official portal mmlsay.assam.gov.in.
