Abstract Background: Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka (AB-ArK) is a flagship health insurance scheme of Karnataka started in Oct-2018. The integrated health assurance scheme of Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka is implemented by the State of Karnataka on an assurance/trust mode through the State Health Agency-Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust (SAST).
AB-Ark is a Universal Health coverage scheme that provides a comprehensive healthcare to both Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Above Poverty Line (APL) families, covering a wide range of secondary and tertiary healthcare services. This scheme, part of the broader Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), seeks to offer financial protection against catastrophic health expenditures and improve access to quality healthcare services.
Learning the experiences and insights from the scheme's implementers can enhance our understanding of how contextual factors impact a program's success. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the different contextual elements that can either support or obstruct the effective execution of a scheme.
Objective: To understand the specific obstacles and barriers in effectively implementing the Ayushman Bharat Arogya Karnataka health scheme from a healthcare provider perspective.
Methods: The study employed a qualitative approach involving 8 in-depth interviews. Interviews were audio recorded and were transcribed as per the reported verbatim. The transcripts were then analysed in Microsoft excel using thematic analysis for emerging patterns and insights leading to conclusions drawn from the analysis results.
Results: Findings were depicted in broad themes and subthemes under individual, community, health system and policy levels. In brief, factors like infrastructure, patient load, awareness, affordability, quality of care and operational challenges were discussed.
Conclusion: Study finding revealed various challenges faced by the health care provider, which needs to be addressed for the scheme’s long-term success and sustainability. Continuous monitoring, policy adjustments, and stakeholder engagement are essential to overcoming these hurdles and achieving the scheme's objectives.
