What treatment in India costs
Cost is usually the first question and the hardest one to get a straight answer to. These guides give wide, conservative planning ranges rather than a single headline number, because a real quote depends on your surgeon, your implant or drug regimen, your room category, your length of stay and the city you are treated in. Every guide says what a package covers, what it does not, and which line items are worth questioning before you agree to anything.
Ranges, not a price list
We publish ranges compiled from hospital-published packages and itemized quotes obtained for real cases, and we say when a number is a planning figure rather than your price. A facilitator quoting you one exact figure for a procedure it has never seen your reports for is guessing, or padding.
Inclusions and exclusions, spelled out
Most disputes come from what a package quietly leaves out: the implant or stent class, ICU days beyond a set number, blood products, pre-operative workup, take-home medicines, and the stay after discharge. Each guide lists those separately so you can compare two quotes that look identical on the front page.
Our fee is never inside a hospital bill
Treatment costs go from you to the hospital directly, on the hospital’s own invoice. Our facilitation fee is published, invoiced separately, and credited step to step. It never sits hidden inside a treatment package.
