How OPD appointment booking works in Jaipur

To book an OPD appointment, you generally have two options: online booking or in-person registration. Some hospitals may be listed on central portals like the Online Registration System (ORS), while others use state-specific websites. Alternatively, you can visit the hospital directly and register at the OPD counter. Walk-in registration often involves queues, so it is advisable to reach the hospital early in the morning.

When visiting for registration, carry your Aadhaar card for identification. If you have been referred by another doctor, bring the referral letter. Patients eligible for government health schemes, such as Rajasthan's Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Swasthya Bima Yojana, should carry their scheme card or relevant documents. A nominal one-time registration fee is typically charged to create your hospital card.
