Statement 1 is correct: The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) provides health insurance coverage of Rs. 5 lakh per family per year, specifically for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. This is the key feature of the scheme, aimed at providing financial protection for health-related expenses.

Statement 2 is not correct: PM-JAY is targeted not only at Below Poverty Line (BPL) families but also includes families from the socio-economically vulnerable groups. The identification of beneficiaries is based on the SECC (Socio-Economic Caste Census), which includes both BPL and other eligible families.

Statement 3 is correct: The scheme is implemented through a network of empaneled hospitals, which include both public and private hospitals. This allows beneficiaries to access treatment from a wide range of healthcare providers.
