ABDM & your ABHA
Version 2026-11 · How ConfirmDoc works with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) of the National Health Authority, Government of India.
What ABDM is
ABDM is the Government of India's digital health system. It lets your hospitals, clinics, labs and you yourself keep and share health records safely, only with your consent. ConfirmDoc is operated by Dady Affordable Hospitals Private Limited and connects to ABDM through the government's official gateway.
Your ABHA
- ABHA number — a free 14-digit Ayushman Bharat Health Account number, for example 91-1234-5678-9012.
- ABHA address — an easy name you choose, for example yourname@abdm, used to receive and share records.
- An ABHA is free and voluntary. Nobody can charge you for it, and you never need one to book or be treated on ConfirmDoc.
- ABHA is not insurance. The ₹5 lakh hospital cover is a separate scheme (PM-JAY).
What you can do on ConfirmDoc
- Link your ABHA to your ConfirmDoc profile (and to family members' profiles) with a one-time code — in the app under My ABHA.
- See and download your ABHA card and QR code; change the mobile number on it; deactivate or reactivate it.
- Scan and share at a hospital desk: show your ABHA QR to share your details for registration instead of filling forms.
- When a hospital using ConfirmDoc treats you, it can link your visit records (prescriptions, reports, discharge summaries) to your ABHA, so they appear in any ABDM health-records app you use.
- A doctor can ask to see your earlier records from other hospitals. Nothing is shared until you approve the request, and you choose which records, for how long, and for what purpose.
What we never do
- We do not store your Aadhaar number. If you create or verify an ABHA with Aadhaar, the code goes straight to the government's system.
- We do not share your records through ABDM without your consent, and never for advertising.
- We do not ask for money to create or link an ABHA.
Your controls
- Approve, refuse or withdraw a consent at any time — in the app (Privacy settings) or in any ABDM health-records app.
- Unlink your ABHA from your ConfirmDoc profile at any time. Records a hospital must keep by law stay with that hospital.
- See who opened your records in Privacy settings.
For hospitals, clinics and labs
ConfirmDoc for Business includes ABDM at no extra cost: ABHA creation and verification at the desk, scan-and-share registration, the Health Facility Registry (HFR) and Healthcare Professionals Registry (HPR), linking visit records as a health information provider, and consent-based requests for earlier records. See ConfirmDoc for Business.
