Insurance & EMI

PCNL is a medically necessary surgery covered by practically all Indian health insurance policies; a pre-existing-condition waiting period may apply only if stones were declared at policy purchase. Axten's cashless desk obtains pre-authorisation from your insurer before admission and settles the bill directly, keeping your out-of-pocket payment minimal.

0% EMI is available on the full package - at the Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 70,000, that works out to roughly Rs. 5,850 per month over 12 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.

Kidney Stone Removal (Small Incision) cost --- FAQs

How much does PCNL kidney stone surgery cost in India?

At Axten Hospitals, PCNL kidney stone surgery has a Fixed Honest Price of Rs. 70,000 (PCNL). 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 does PCNL cost more than laser (RIRS/URSL) stone removal?

PCNL treats larger, more complex stones and therefore involves general anaesthesia, imaging-guided access into the kidney, longer OT time, a possible nephrostomy tube and one to two nights of admission - all of which add cost versus a day-care laser procedure. The trade-off is the highest single-sitting clearance for big stones, often avoiding the multiple sittings smaller techniques would need.

Does Mini-PCNL cost more than standard PCNL?

Package differences are usually modest. Mini-PCNL uses miniaturised instruments that may carry higher equipment charges, but it often shortens stay, reduces bleeding risk and avoids transfusion costs, so the overall bill frequently balances out or ends lower. Your Axten urologist selects the track size your stone genuinely needs and the written Fixed Honest Price reflects that choice before admission.

Is PCNL covered by health insurance and government schemes?

Yes. PCNL is covered by virtually all retail and corporate health policies, and by several state and central government schemes at empanelled hospitals. Axten's insurance desk verifies your policy, files the pre-authorisation and arranges cashless settlement directly with the insurer or TPA. If kidney stones were declared as pre-existing, some policies apply a one-to-two-year waiting period.

What could increase my final PCNL bill beyond the price?

The written Fixed Honest Price is designed to hold. Genuine additions are limited to items disclosed upfront as exclusions: a blood transfusion if needed, ICU care for rare complications, a chosen room upgrade, or a planned second sitting for very complex staghorn stones. Axten's zero-surprise-billing policy means no consumable, injection or 'miscellaneous' line ever appears that was not explained beforehand.

Can I pay for PCNL on EMI?

Yes. Axten offers 0% EMI on the full Fixed Honest Price - Rs. 70,000 works out to roughly Rs. 5,850 per month over 12 months, with no interest and quick approval on standard KYC documents. EMI can also cover any balance your insurer does not pay.
