Insurance & EMI

Coverage depends on the policy and the indication: nerve blocks performed as part of treatment for a diagnosed condition - such as cancer pain plexus blocks or trigeminal neuralgia - are covered by many insurers under daycare norms, while some policies treat pain-relief injections as outpatient care and exclude them. Axten's cashless desk verifies your specific cover before the procedure and gives you the answer in writing.

0% EMI is available; a mid-range block of about Rs 22,500 works out to roughly Rs 3,750 per month over six months, and staged treatment plans can share one EMI schedule.

Our insurance desk files cashless pre-authorisation with all major insurers and TPAs on your behalf --- you focus on recovery, we handle the paperwork.

Nerve Block Injections cost --- FAQs

How much does a nerve block injection cost in India?

Image-guided nerve block injections in India typically cost Rs 10,000 - Rs 35,000 per procedure (all-inclusive, varies by block type & city). Simpler peripheral blocks sit at the lower end, while complex plexus blocks and radiofrequency ablation reach the higher end. Axten quotes one written all-inclusive price covering imaging, medicines and observation, with zero surprise billing. Call 8156-92-92-92 for the exact cost of the block advised for you.

Are nerve blocks covered by health insurance?

Sometimes - it genuinely depends on your policy and the reason for the block. Blocks that form part of treating a diagnosed condition, such as coeliac plexus blocks for cancer pain or trigeminal blocks for neuralgia, are covered by many insurers under daycare norms. Purely outpatient pain injections may be excluded. Axten's cashless desk checks your policy first and tells you in writing where you stand.

Why do different nerve blocks cost different amounts?

Three things drive the price: depth and complexity of the target (a superficial peripheral nerve versus a deep plexus near major organs), the guidance needed (ultrasound versus a fluoroscopy suite), and whether radiofrequency equipment is used for a longer-lasting result. A diagnostic block with anaesthetic alone costs the least. Your Axten quote names the block, the guidance and the price - one clear written figure.

Is a nerve block cheaper than staying on painkillers long term?

Over months, often yes. Daily painkillers look cheap per strip, but add up steadily - and their long-term toll on kidneys, stomach and liver can bring its own treatment costs. A well-targeted block giving weeks to months of relief, or radiofrequency ablation lasting a year or more, frequently costs less per pain-free month while treating the source rather than masking it.

Do diagnostic and therapeutic blocks cost the same?

A diagnostic block, using local anaesthetic alone to confirm which nerve carries your pain, is usually the least expensive procedure. A therapeutic block adds steroid for lasting relief, and radiofrequency ablation - offered once a diagnostic block confirms the target - costs the most but lasts the longest. Axten prices each step separately and in writing, so you pay only for what each stage needs.

Can I pay for nerve block treatment in instalments?

Yes. Axten's 0% EMI applies to nerve blocks and pain procedures - a mid-range block of about Rs 22,500 comes to roughly Rs 3,750 per month over six months, interest-free. If your specialist plans a staged pathway, such as a diagnostic block followed by radiofrequency ablation, the procedures can be combined into one EMI schedule arranged by your care coordinator.
