Common questions
How long is the stay in India?
Hospital stay 2–4 nights Total stay in India 16–25 days
Can someone travel with me?
Yes. Your attendant can usually apply for a medical attendant visa linked to yours, and can usually stay in your hospital room. The Government of India sets how many attendants are allowed; your coordinator confirms the current rule.
Do I pay Lazuren anything?
Every estimate is free today. Later the first stays free and the 2nd and 3rd carry a small fee. Where we have an agreement with a hospital, that hospital pays us a facilitation fee. You pay the hospital directly for your treatment, and you may ask the hospital for its direct price.
What happens after I go home?
Your coordinator arranges follow-up calls with your doctor and shares reports and the treatment summary for your local doctor. Prescriptions written in India may not be valid in your country, so your local doctor may need to prescribe your medicines.
What to send us
- A short description of the problem and when it began
- Recent reports, scans and discharge summaries (clear phone photos are fine)
- Current medicines and known allergies
Get a free estimate
Tell us what you need. Your coordinator replies, and the hospitals you choose send a written estimate once they have your reports.
How this page works
- Prices
- Prices are indicative. The hospital gives a written estimate after its doctor reviews your reports, and confirms the final cost after examining you.
- Prices by country
- Prices by country are for the treatment only. Flights, visa and stay are on the page for each country we serve.
