Insurance & EMI

Coverage is improving but uneven: many newer policies cover cochlear implantation while older ones cap or exclude the device cost, which is the dominant component. Government schemes - notably ADIP for eligible children and several state programmes - fund implants for qualifying families. Axten's insurance desk checks your policy, guides scheme applications and arranges cashless approval wherever available.

0% EMI is available on the full package - at the Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 8,00,000, that works out to roughly Rs. 33,350 per month over 24 months, interest-free.

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

Cochlear Implant cost --- FAQs

How much does a cochlear implant cost in India?

At Axten Hospitals, cochlear implant has a Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 8,00,000 (unilateral). It is all-inclusive and shared in writing before surgery, so the amount you are told is the amount you pay - with zero surprise billing. Cashless insurance and 0% EMI are also available. Call 8156-92-92-92.

Why is the device such a large share of the cost?

The internal implant is precision-engineered, hermetically sealed electronics with a delicate electrode array designed to work inside the body for a lifetime, and the external processor is a sophisticated sound computer - together they typically account for well over half the package. Surgery, stay and hospital charges form the smaller balance, which is why brand and model choice moves your price most.

What is the ADIP scheme and can my child get a free implant?

ADIP is a Government of India scheme that funds cochlear implants for hearing-impaired children from eligible lower-income families, covering the device and surgery at empanelled centres, subject to age and income criteria. Several states run parallel programmes. Axten's team helps you check eligibility, prepare documents and apply - for qualifying children, this can reduce the family's cost dramatically. Ask early; processing takes time.

Does health insurance cover cochlear implants?

Increasingly, yes - but read the fine print. Many newer and employer group policies cover implantation including the device; older policies may cap implant costs or exclude 'external appliances', leaving the processor unpaid. Axten's insurance desk reviews your exact policy wording before you commit, obtains pre-authorisation where cover exists and tells you honestly what portion will be yours.

What ongoing costs follow the implant surgery?

Budget for continued auditory-verbal therapy beyond the included sessions (essential for children), periodic mapping reviews, batteries and spare parts, and an optional processor upgrade every several years - upgrades need no surgery. Many families also insure the external processor against loss or damage. Axten lists these lifetime costs transparently at counselling, so your decision is based on the complete picture.

Can we pay for a cochlear implant on EMI?

Yes. Axten offers 0% EMI on the full Fixed Honest Price - Rs. 8,00,000 works out to roughly Rs. 33,350 per month over 24 months, with no interest and quick approval on standard KYC documents. EMI can also cover any balance your insurer does not pay.
