PATIENT QUESTIONS
Cost and insurance questions
How much does sinus surgery cost in Bangalore?
Costs depend on what is done: FESS alone or with polyp removal, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or several together. Revision surgery, image-guided navigation, single-use devices, splints, room category, overnight stay, the CT scan, histopathology and follow-up endoscopies also matter. Ask Lotus for an itemised estimate that lists the planned procedures and inclusions.
How long is the hospital stay after FESS or septoplasty?
FESS and septoplasty are often day-care procedures or need one night in hospital. You may have soft packs or splints in the nose for a short time. Tonsillectomy is usually same day or overnight, with young children and people with sleep apnoea often kept overnight. The care team confirms the plan before admission.
Does insurance cover FESS, septoplasty and tonsillectomy?
Medically necessary procedures are generally covered and many are listed as day care, but ENT conditions often carry a specific waiting period of one to two years in retail policies. Cosmetic nose surgery is excluded. For cashless treatment, the hospital sends a pre-authorisation request with the CT report and endoscopy findings to the insurer or TPA.
