According to data available on the National Health Authority (NHA) dashboard, the scheme has, so far, covered over 345 million citizens who received free health insurance of Rs 5 lakh for hospitalisation.
Industry sources said the Centre was considering a proposal on increasing coverage under the Ayushman Bharat scheme to Rs 10 lakh from the current Rs 5 lakh.
 Hospitals have complained of delays in reimbursement related to the scheme. Ironing out these differences and securing more funding for the scheme could emerge as major challenges. 
The health ministry formed a 16-member committee in March this year to look into the implementation of the scheme and oversee progress in beneficiary identification, hospitalisation and modes of implementation.
According to sources, implementation of the revised Schedule M, which includes good manufacturing practices guidelines to ensure manufacturing of quality drugs, is on the priority list of the Department of Pharmaceuticals that comes under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers. Schedule M prescribes good manufacturing practices (GMP) for pharmaceutical products.
