How cashless insurance works for kidney stone treatment
- 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 kidney stone treatment has a waiting period or a sub-limit before you plan the date.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Cost and insurance questions
How much does kidney stone surgery cost in Bangalore?
It depends on the technique (ESWL, URSL, RIRS or PCNL), stone size and number, whether more than one session or a staged procedure is needed, consumables such as laser fibres, sheaths and stents, room category and length of stay. Stent removal and follow-up scans also count. Ask Lotus for an itemised estimate for your scan findings.
How long is the hospital stay after kidney stone surgery?
ESWL is a same-day procedure. URSL and RIRS are often day-care or need one night. PCNL usually needs one to three nights, sometimes with a temporary drainage tube from the kidney. Infection, bleeding or other medical conditions can lengthen the stay. The care team confirms the expected stay before admission.
Does insurance cover kidney stone treatment?
Usually yes, including day-care procedures such as ESWL and ureteroscopy under many policies. However, urinary stones commonly carry a specific waiting period of one to two years or longer in retail policies. Emergency admissions for an infected, blocked kidney are handled as emergencies. For planned treatment, the hospital sends a pre-authorisation request with your CT report to the insurer or TPA.
