Treatment cost in India: pricing and quotes, explained
We do not publish treatment prices because they depend on your case. We do publish how an estimate is built, so that you know what you are being asked to pay for.
What a written estimate looks like
Every estimate follows this layout. The figures come from your case and the hospital's price list.
| Line on your estimate | What it covers | Who sets the figure |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure package | Surgeon fees, operating theatre, standard implants or consumables | Hospital |
| Room category | Number of days and type of room | Hospital |
| Tests and scans | Pre-operative investigations and imaging | Hospital |
| Medicines | Medicines during the stay and on discharge | Hospital |
| Accommodation and transport | Hotel or apartment, airport transfers, local car | Provider, shown at cost |
| Service fee | Coordination, visa letter support, interpreter booking, follow-up | Shiva Medical Tourism |
What is often not included
- Complications or extra days beyond the planned stay
- Treatment for conditions found during the stay
- Flights and visa fees
- Personal expenses and meals outside the hospital
- Follow-up care after you return home
How payment works
The hospital bills you directly for medical care. We ask you to read the estimate and the hospital's refund and cancellation terms before you pay any deposit. Our service fee is shown as its own line on the estimate.
Comparing quotes
Compare like with like. Ask each hospital which implants, room type and days are in the price. A lower price that leaves out the implant or the stay is not lower.
