Costing Methodology

About the data

Round 2 (2020) data provides data from a national costing survey across 11 states.

Cost data is provided as average unit costs by specialty for inpatient, outpatient, intensive care unit (ICU) and operating theatre service centres at current levels of capacity and re-estimated at levels of 80% and 100% capacity utilisation. The estimated unit cost of health benefit packages defined under the PMJAY scheme are also available.
