Ask for a custom estimateWhat your treatment quote covers
A hospital estimate is not the whole cost of your trip. Here is what is normally inside the quote, and what you should budget for separately.
Usually in the quote
Confirmed in writing before you travel.
- Surgeon, anesthetist and team fees
- Operation theatre charges
- Hospital room for the planned stay
- Routine tests and medicines during admission
- Standard implants, stents or consumables
- Nursing care and meals in hospital
Budget for separately
Depends on your plan and health.
- Medical visa, flights and travel insurance
- Hotel or apartment stay before and after discharge
- Premium implants or upgraded room category
- Extra ICU days or complications
- Follow-up scans, tests and medicines after discharge
- Local transport, interpreter and food for attendants
What changes the final price
Two patients with the same diagnosis can receive different quotes. These are the usual reasons.
- Hospital and city
- Large multi-specialty hospitals in metro cities charge more than smaller centres. Both can be accredited and safe.
- Your condition
- Age, other illnesses and how advanced the problem is decide how complex the treatment will be.
- Surgical technique
- Robotic and minimally invasive methods cost more but may shorten recovery and hospital stay.
- Implant or device
- Brand, material and technology change the price. Your doctor will explain which option suits you.
- Room category
- Shared, private and suite rooms are priced differently for every day of your stay.
- Length of stay
- Recovery that takes longer than planned adds hospital and accommodation costs.

Paying for treatment in India
Clear payment steps help you plan with confidence. This is how payment normally works, and we confirm every detail with you in writing.
- How you pay
- Payments go to the hospital against an itemised bill. Ask us which methods your hospital accepts, such as bank transfer, card or cash in Indian rupees.
- Advance deposit
- Some hospitals ask for an advance before admission. The amount depends on the treatment and is stated in your estimate.
- Final bill
- You settle the final bill at discharge. If the treatment goes beyond the plan, your doctor explains why before extra charges are added.
- Refunds
- Unused advance amounts are returned as per the hospital's policy. We share that policy with you before you pay.
- Insurance
- Many international insurance plans do not cover treatment abroad. Check with your insurer first, and we can supply the documents they ask for.
