How we estimate prices

Transparency matters when the numbers affect real decisions. Here is how our estimates are produced and what they do and do not include. Figures were last reviewed in June 2026.

Treatment costs

Treatment estimates reflect typical published price ranges for the procedure at private hospitals, expressed as a representative average in US dollars. US figures represent common billed/self-pay amounts; India figures represent typical all-inclusive package prices at accredited private hospitals. Actual costs vary by hospital, city, surgeon, implant/device choice, length of stay, and complications.

Medicine prices

Medicine estimates compare a typical US retail/list price against the price of the same active ingredient (often a licensed generic or biosimilar) in India, for the stated unit (e.g. per month supply). For current, exact prices we link out to GoodRx (USA) and Tata 1mg / PharmEasy (India).

Travel cost calculator

The trip calculator uses flat per-traveler flight estimates by US region, a per-night hotel estimate, and a per-traveler insurance estimate. These are deliberately simple planning figures; for live prices, use the booking links provided.

Limitations

All figures are estimates for comparison only — not quotes, medical advice, or guarantees. Exchange rates, provider pricing, and your individual situation will change the real cost. Always confirm with the provider before acting.
