FAQs

When do I receive the final cost for my procedures?

The International Help Desk can provide you a complete break-up of the cost of treatment usually within 4-6 hours after your discharge from SPARSH. This will contain a summary of actual treatment costs, the bills for hospital and professional services and confirmation of your payments.

How and when can I pay for services?

The full estimated hospital and professional charge is required to be paid at the time of admission. Payments can be made via wire transfer, Demand Draft/Bankers Draft or credit card. Please contact us to seek further clarifications in this matter.

Do you accept International Insurance Plans?

We do accept International Insurance Plans, however, we would like to have your insurance details prior to your arrival in India so that we can confirm the coverage and the benefits that you are entitled to. This is to prevent any inconvenience to you during your hospitalisation.

How long do I need to stay in Bangalore after my surgery?

The time varies for each patient and procedure. Generally for minor outpatient procedures your surgeon may clear you for travel within 1 week. Typically, for major surgeries, you may need to stay for 2-4 weeks after discharge from the hospital. However, your surgeon will advise you further in either case.

How many days prior to the surgery should I reach Bangalore?

Depending on the surgical procedure, your pre-operative consultation and medical clearance appointments may be scheduled 1-2 days prior to your surgery. This time may be shorter for minor outpatient procedures. In any case, your surgeon will advise you further.

Can you provide me with an estimate of costs for surgery?

Yes. Once the International Help Desk receives your surgical information, we will provide you with a customised Estimate of Treatment Charges which will include the cost of treatment at SPARSH Hospital.
