Treatment costs in India

What treatments cost, from figures we can source: government scheme package rates and prices hospitals publish themselves. Every figure carries its source and the date we checked it. We never publish a price we cannot trace.

How to read a cost guide

Scheme rate: what a government scheme such as PM-JAY or CGHS pays an empanelled hospital for a package. It is not what a private patient is charged.
Published price: what a hospital lists on its own site or price list on the date shown. Most exclude implants, extra nights and complications.
Your estimate: always ask the hospital for a written estimate, and ask what it leaves out.
