02 · What moves the price
Six levers that shift the quote
Two quotes from the same hospital can differ by 40% once you drill into the details below. Ask your case manager to break out each line.
-
Surgeon seniority
Senior consultants with 20+ years and high procedure counts command 20-40% above junior attendings for the same operation.
-
Hospital tier
Flagship JCI-accredited facilities cost more than local tier-2 hospitals, even for identical procedures. The gap is usually 30-60%.
-
Room category
Private-room vs twin-share vs deluxe suite can shift total package cost by 10-25% on longer admissions.
-
Implant or device brand
For joint replacement, cardiac valves, or dental implants, the device brand alone can change the bill by $1,500-$4,000.
-
Length of stay
Complications or unplanned ICU days are the biggest variance driver. Ask for the per-diem overage rate upfront.
-
Pre-op workup
Imaging and labs done overseas aren't always re-done locally. If they are, budget 8-15% extra.

04 · FAQ
Questions that come up a lot
Is macular hole surgery safe in these countries?
Yes — at JCI-accredited facilities. The variable isn't country; it's surgeon and hospital. Ask for surgeon-specific procedure volume (aim for 100+ per year for elective work) before booking.
How long do I need to stay?
1 inpatient days is typical, plus ~21 days local recovery before you're cleared to fly. Build in a few buffer days in case labs or imaging flag something.
Does my insurance cover treatment abroad?
Some international policies (Cigna, Bupa, Allianz, AXA) reimburse at overseas JCI hospitals. Most domestic insurance doesn't. We confirm cashless vs reimbursement before admission — share your policy and we'll verify.
What's included in the package price?
Typically: surgery fee, anaesthesia, standard room, standard implants, routine post-op imaging. Not typically included: airport transfer, hotel, complications, premium implants, extended ICU days. Quotes always show the split.
How do I choose between countries?
For routine procedures, go on price + your visa ease. For complex cases, go on surgeon-specific volume and outcome data — which we request from each hospital before presenting quotes.
Can I travel home right after?
Commercial air travel post-surgery depends on the procedure and the airline's medical-clearance policy. Most cardiac patients fly 10-14 days post-op; orthopedic patients 7-10 days; cosmetic 5-7 days. Your case manager will flag the specifics.
Quote anatomy
What's typically included in your macular hole surgery quote
Every quote we surface is itemised at this level before you commit. The line below names what you should expect inside the package versus what's typically billed separately — read both sides before comparing prices across hospitals.
✓ Included in the package
- Surgeon and anesthesiology fees
Lead surgeon fee, named consultant assists, anesthesia consultant — all line-itemised in the quote at the named-consultant level, not as a pooled charge.
- Operating-theatre time and standard implants
OT time at the agreed hospital tier, single-use sterile consumables, and the implant brand specified in your quote (you'll see Zimmer-Biomet vs DJO vs Smith & Nephew called out by name where applicable).
- 1-night standard ward stay
Inpatient nursing, routine medications, pathology, in-house imaging, daily consultant rounds, and physiotherapy where indicated — for the duration the surgeon's care plan calls for.
- First post-op follow-up consultation
One in-person follow-up before discharge clearance, plus a written discharge summary in English with imaging and pathology attached.
- International-patient department support
Visa-invitation letter, airport pickup, hospital-direct check-in, in-language interpretation where needed, and discharge-day medication walkthrough.
Typically billed separately
- ICU days beyond the standard care plan
Routine ICU is included; days beyond the surgeon's expected protocol (e.g. unexpected post-op complication) are billed at a published per-night ICU rate. Always ask for the rate at quote stage.
- Premium implants or upgraded brands
If the surgeon recommends a premium implant (e.g. ceramic-on-ceramic hip, custom-cut knee, drug-eluting stent variant), the price differential is shown line-item at quote review.
- Pre-op tests not covered in the package
Most pre-op blood work, ECG, and chest X-ray are included; advanced imaging (MRI, CT, PET) and cardiac stress tests beyond the package list are billed separately.
- Extended pharmacy and home-care medications
Take-home medications past the discharge-day supply, branded substitutes for generics in the package, and specialty therapeutics (e.g. immunotherapy, novel anti-coagulants) are quoted separately.
- Travel, accommodation, and recovery hotel
Flights, family member accommodation, and recovery-period stay (typically 21 days post-discharge) are not bundled — but our coordinators can arrange medical-grade hotel rates with the hospital's negotiated partners.
- Revisions, second surgeries, complications
If a surgical revision is medically indicated within the agreed warranty window (varies by procedure and hospital — typically 90 days for cosmetic, 1 year for orthopedic), pricing terms are spelt out before you sign.
