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

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Cost and insurance questions
How much does a root canal cost in Bangalore?
The cost depends on the tooth, number of canals, number of sittings and whether a crown is needed. Published Bengaluru market estimates are a useful starting point, but they vary between sources and hospitals. Ask a Lotus dental specialist for a written estimate covering the root canal and crown.
Is root canal treatment covered by insurance?
Most health insurance policies do not cover routine dental treatment such as root canals unless the policy includes dental or outpatient benefits, or treatment follows an accident. Lotus works with many insurers and TPAs; confirm your cover with your insurer and the care team before treatment.
