Quick Answer: How do I find the KASP empanelled hospital list in Kerala?

The official KASP empanelled hospital list is published by the State Health Agency (SHA) Kerala on sha.kerala.gov.in, where you can check hospitals district by district. You can also search PM-JAY empanelled hospitals by state and district on the national PM-JAY hospital finder. Always confirm at the hospital's KASP / PM-JAY help desk before admission, because empanelment can change.

How to Find the KASP Hospital List for Your District

  • Open the official SHA Kerala website (sha.kerala.gov.in) and look for the empanelled hospitals list.
  • Filter or search by district — Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Malappuram and every other district are listed.
  • Check the specialities each hospital is empanelled for — a hospital may be empanelled for some treatments and not others.
  • Call or visit the hospital's KASP / PM-JAY help desk to confirm before planned admission.

We do not reproduce the list here because empanelment changes; the official SHA Kerala list is the only reliable source.

Who Is Eligible for KASP?

Eligibility is decided by the government, not by the hospital. KASP covers families identified in the government's beneficiary lists — originally based on the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 and earlier state health-scheme lists. There is generally no open application for new families; eligible families verify their identity (usually with Aadhaar) at an empanelled hospital or authorised centre to get their beneficiary card. Check your eligibility with SHA Kerala or at a hospital help desk.

How Hospital Staff Handle a KASP Patient

StepWhat the hospital desk does
1. IdentifyVerify the beneficiary and family details at the KASP / PM-JAY desk
2. Pre-authoriseSelect the treatment package and raise pre-authorisation with clinical documents
3. TreatPatient is treated cashless within the approved package
4. DischargeUpload discharge summary, bills and proofs
5. ClaimSubmit the claim and follow up queries until payment

These desks — KASP, MEDISEP, CGHS and private insurance (TPA) — are among the most common first jobs for hospital administration graduates in Kerala.
