Frequently Asked Questions About Costs
Does insurance cover endoscopic spine surgery?
Yes, most major health insurance providers (both corporate and retail policies) cover endoscopic spine surgery. We offer cashless facilities at Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet. Our team assists with the pre-authorization process to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
Are there any hidden costs involved?
No. Our estimates are comprehensive and transparent. They typically include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, operation theater charges, standard medications during the stay, and room rent for the specified duration (usually 1-2 days for endoscopic procedures). We clearly outline what is included before admission so you can plan financially.
What drives the cost of endoscopic surgery?
Full endoscopic spine surgery uses specialised equipment, but the overall bill also depends on length of stay, which is decided by the team for each patient. A written estimate shows what is included before admission.
Can I pay via EMI or financing options?
Yes, Yashoda Hospital offers various patient financing and EMI options through partnered financial institutions. Our billing coordinators can guide you through the available zero-interest or low-interest financing schemes during your consultation.
What is the cost difference between endoscopic and open spine surgery?
While the procedure cost for endoscopic surgery may be similar or slightly higher than open surgery, the total episode cost — including hospital stay, post-op medications, physiotherapy, and lost work days — depends on how long you stay and your recovery, which are individual. A written estimate for your planned procedure is given before admission.
Is brain surgery covered under the same insurance policy as spine surgery?
Generally yes — both brain and spine surgery are covered under the 'Neurosurgery' category in most comprehensive health insurance plans. However, specific sub-limits may apply for implants (DBS electrodes, for example). Our insurance desk will verify your specific policy benefits before admission.
