Payment

Refund policy

The terms under which a deposit or payment can be refunded.

Refund policies vary by program: full refund 30+ days before; partial refund within 30 days; no refund for no-show. Surgery cancellation due to medical reasons is often fully refundable.

What this means for you: read the refund policy carefully and confirm in writing. Don't assume — ask.

General information, not medical advice

Methodology and editorial standards

Glossary entries are written by the Medcasts editorial team in plain language from published clinical sources. Each page shows its last-updated date.

  1. Hospital data. Hospital details are compiled from public sources and hospital websites. Accreditation (JCI, NABH and others) is shown where we hold a record of it. Always ask the hospital for its current certificate.
  2. Doctor credentials. Qualifications, specialty and bio come from the doctor's hospital profile. Licence is checked against the national medical-council register only where the profile shows a "Licence verified" badge with a date.
  3. Prices. Price ranges are indicative, compiled from hospital price lists and packages and shown with the date last updated. The hospital's written quote is what you pay against.
  4. Clinical text. Written by the Medcasts editorial team from published clinical sources. Unless a named reviewer is shown on the page, it has not been reviewed by a doctor.
  5. Independence. Hospitals cannot pay to change their position on our pages.
