Hospital Admission and Document Requirements for Gallstone Surgery

For gallstone surgery, a few key documents are required to ensure smooth admission and insurance reimbursement. These typically include the PAN card of the policyholder, Aadhaar card (both sides), and a passport-size or half photo of the patient for identification purposes.

These documents are necessary because the insurance claim will be processed and credited to your account after the procedure. If you don’t have a half photo, you can take a photo on your phone and crop it to passport size.

The hospital stay for gallstone surgery is usually one day, as most procedures are minimally invasive and do not require overnight observation. Routine pre-surgery tests are often included in the procedure, so patients generally do not have to pay separately for tests.

Admission typically starts in the morning, allowing ample time for verification, pre-surgery checks, and preparation. Having all documents ready beforehand ensures a smooth, hassle-free admission and timely discharge.
