Ureterolithotomy Cost in India

Ureterolithotomy cost varies nationwide, owing to several factors. Any hospital or lab offering this surgical procedure considers all these factors before calculating the final cost. We have listed some common factors that are typically considered before providing patients with the final quote for ureterolithotomy: 

• The city you’re in: The city you choose to get your treatment in can influence the cost you may have to bear for the treatment. The cost may be higher in metro cities. 
• Your choice of hospital: If you’re planning to get the treatment at a private facility, you may have to pay a higher cost compared to what you’d have to pay at a government facility. This variation is generally due to the difference in the facilities offered by the respective facilities and any other additional costs they may levy. 
• Cost of diagnostic tests: If the doctor has recommended diagnostic tests before the procedure, their cost can also cause the total treatment expense to go up.
• Technique and technology used in the process: The type of technology and technique used for ureterolithotomy- open or laparoscopic, can also contribute to the cost of this procedure. Laparoscopic procedures are performed with modern tools and techniques and may cost you more. 
• Additional charges in case of complications: The risk of complications persist with all procedures. In case of complications, the doctor may have to provide additional treatment, which can inflate the total cost. 

Yes. Since a ureterolithotomy is suggested in cases of complex ureter stones that can’t be extracted through other methods, it is covered under most health insurance and mediclaim policies. But, the coverage can be different for all patients, based on the respective policy. Most health insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage for this procedure. On the other hand, mediclaim policies may only offer coverage for the hospitalization costs associated with the procedure.
