Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about comparing treatment costs, hospital safety in India, and requesting a personalized estimate.
How much can US patients save on medical care in India?+
Patients typically save 60% to 80% on major surgeries (such as knee replacements, hip replacements, bypass surgery, and full-mouth dental implants) compared to US out-of-pocket costs—even after including flight and hotel expenses.
Is medical care in India safe and comparable to US standards?+
Yes. Partner hospitals are accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI)—the exact same accreditation body that certifies premier US hospitals. Senior surgeons are internationally credentialed and speak fluent English.
How does MedTripSavings make money?+
MedTripSavings provides free educational information and cost estimates for US patients. We operate as a qualified lead referral platform for our accredited healthcare partner hospital in India. Our service is 100% free for patients with zero hidden fees.
Does US health insurance cover medical tourism in India?+
Some US self-funded employer plans cover international medical care. However, most traditional health insurance plans do not. Patients choose India primarily to avoid high out-of-pocket deductibles or cash-pay surgery prices in the US.
How long do I need to stay in India for treatment?+
Stay duration depends on the procedure. Dental work or cosmetic procedures usually require 5 to 7 days. Joint replacements require 10 to 14 days (including inpatient hospital stay and hotel physical therapy).
How do I get an Indian Medical Visa?+
US citizens can apply online for an Indian Medical e-Visa (e-MED Visa) which is processed in 3 to 5 business days. Our care coordinators provide formal hospital invitation letters required for visa processing.
