How cashless insurance works for hernia surgery
- Share your policy or corporate insurance card with the Lotus care team before admission.
- The team requests pre-authorisation from your insurer or TPA with the doctor’s estimate.
- The insurer approves an amount; you pay only non-covered items such as some consumables or room upgrades.
- At discharge the final bill is settled with the insurer, and you receive copies of all papers.
Planned surgeries often have waiting periods in a new policy. Ask your insurer whether hernia surgery has a waiting period or a sub-limit before you plan the date.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Cost and insurance questions
How much does hernia surgery cost in Bangalore?
The cost depends on the hernia type, open or laparoscopic technique, mesh, room category and stay. Published Bengaluru market estimates are a useful starting point, but they vary between sources and hospitals. Ask a Lotus surgeon for a written, itemised estimate after assessment.
Is hernia surgery covered by health insurance?
Most health policies cover hernia surgery, but many apply a waiting period of one to two years for this condition, and sub-limits may affect mesh or consumables. Lotus works with many insurers and TPAs; share your policy details with the care team before admission so eligibility and pre-authorisation can be checked.
