How cashless insurance works for knee replacement 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 knee replacement surgery has a waiting period or a sub-limit before you plan the date.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Cost and insurance questions
How long is the hospital stay and recovery after knee replacement?
Most patients stay in hospital for a few days, and published Bengaluru estimates commonly cite four to six days, though your surgeon will advise on your own plan. Walking with support usually begins within a day or two. Many people return to light daily activities in about six weeks, while strength and comfort keep improving for several months.
How much does knee replacement cost in Bangalore?
Costs vary widely with the implant, technique, room category and length of stay. Published Bengaluru market estimates are a useful starting point, but they vary between sources and hospitals. For your own estimate, consult a Lotus orthopaedic surgeon and ask for a written, itemised quote that states what is included and excluded.
Is knee replacement covered by health insurance?
Most health policies cover medically necessary knee replacement, but waiting periods, room-rent limits and implant sub-limits often apply. 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, and confirm cashless approval rather than assuming it.
