  • Total versus partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement
  • One knee or both knees replaced in the same admission
  • Room category chosen and length of stay

Insurance & EMI

Knee replacement for arthritis is covered by almost all Indian health insurance policies, usually after the policy's waiting period for joint replacement (commonly 2-4 years) and subject to room-rent limits. Axten's cashless desk checks these clauses in advance, obtains pre-authorisation and tells you your exact out-of-pocket figure - if any - before admission.

0% EMI is available on knee replacement at Axten; a mid-range package of about Rs 2,30,000 works out to roughly Rs 19,200 per month over 12 months.

Knee Replacement Surgery cost --- FAQs

How much does knee replacement cost in India?

Knee replacement in India typically costs Rs 1,60,000 - Rs 3,00,000 per knee (all-inclusive, varies by implant choice & city). The implant you choose is the single biggest variable - standard proven implants sit at the lower end, premium longer-wear designs at the higher end. Axten gives you one written all-inclusive quote covering implant, surgery, stay and physiotherapy, with zero surprise billing. Call 8156-92-92-92.

Why does the implant change the price so much?

Because the implant is the costliest single component of the package. Standard cobalt-chrome implants are internationally proven and economical; premium options such as oxidised-zirconium or high-flex designs cost significantly more and may suit younger or more active patients. At Axten, your surgeon explains the honest pros and cons of each option, and the exact make, model and price appear in your written quote.

Is knee replacement covered by health insurance in India?

Yes. Knee replacement for arthritis is covered by nearly all Indian health insurance policies, typically after a joint-replacement waiting period of two to four years from policy start, and subject to room-rent and sum-insured limits. Axten's cashless insurance desk reads your policy's fine print, secures pre-authorisation and confirms your exact out-of-pocket amount - if any - before you are admitted.

Does replacing both knees together cost double?

No - simultaneous bilateral replacement usually costs meaningfully less than two separate surgeries, because you pay for one admission, one anaesthesia and one hospital stay instead of two. You do pay for two implants. For medically fit patients, it also means a single recovery period. Your Axten surgeon will advise whether same-sitting or staged surgery is safer for you, with written quotes for both.

What could fall outside the all-inclusive package?

Very little, and nothing silently. The written quote covers implant, surgery, stay, medicines and in-hospital physiotherapy. Items outside it are spelled out in advance: an implant upgrade you choose, a room upgrade you request, extended home physiotherapy, or ICU care for a rare unforeseen medical complication. Nothing is added to an Axten bill that was not first shown to you in writing.

Can I pay for knee replacement in monthly instalments?

Yes. Axten offers genuine 0% EMI on knee replacement - a mid-range package of about Rs 2,30,000 comes to roughly Rs 19,200 per month over 12 months, with no interest or processing surprises. EMI can also bridge any gap your insurance leaves, such as room-rent limit deductions. Your care coordinator completes the approval before your surgery date.
