Cataract Surgery Cost & Insurance Coverage Details
3 months ago
I have already consulted a doctor and was diagnosed with a cataract two years ago, but recently it has progressed further. I also have high BP. I have a Neva Bupa health insurance policy of ₹5 lakhs, now enhanced to ₹7 lakhs, and it has been active for about 10 years. I want to know if the surgery can be done soon, what the process will be, and what time the surgery is scheduled tomorrow. My name is Gayatri, and I have already shared my details for verification.

You have already been diagnosed with a cataract, and it has progressed; surgery is the recommended treatment. Having high BP is common among cataract patients, and it will be properly evaluated and managed before the procedure. Pre-surgery tests will be conducted at the hospital to ensure your BP and overall health are stable for surgery.
Regarding insurance, since you have a long-standing policy (10 years) with Niva Bupa Health Insurance (previously referred to as Neva Bupa) and your coverage is ₹7 lakhs, cataract surgery is generally covered as per policy terms.
The final approval will be processed through insurance verification before the procedure. If everything is in order, the treatment can be arranged smoothly, possibly even on the same day after evaluation.
Your tentative surgery timing is 10:00 AM. A cab facility will be arranged accordingly. Once you reach the hospital, necessary eye tests and general health assessments will be done. Based on the test results, the final treatment plan will be confirmed, and the procedure will proceed as scheduled.
