The billing price for a Stryker hip implant at a specific medical facility is 53,995.00 Indian Rupees (INR). This price typically does not include Goods and Services Tax (GST), which would be an additional charge.
Understanding Hip Implant Costs
The cost of a hip implant can vary significantly based on several factors, including the manufacturer, the specific type of implant (e.g., total hip replacement, partial hip replacement), the hospital or clinic where the procedure is performed, and the region or country. The provided cost refers specifically to the implant component itself, not the entire surgical procedure or associated medical expenses.
Here's a breakdown of implant costs from various manufacturers at one facility, as an example:
| Sl No. | Implant Manufacturer | Billing price to patients in INR (GST extra) |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | M/s Stryker | 53,995.00 |
| 3. | M/s Smith & Nephew | 57,633.00 |
It's important to note that the overall cost of a hip replacement surgery encompasses more than just the implant. It also includes:
- Surgeon's fees: Compensation for the orthopedic surgeon performing the operation.
- Anesthesia fees: Costs for the anesthesiologist and the anesthetic agents used.
- Hospital charges: Fees for the operating room, hospital stay, nursing care, and other facilities.
- Pre-operative tests: Costs for blood tests, X-rays, ECGs, and other diagnostic procedures.
- Post-operative care: This can include physical therapy, rehabilitation, medications, and follow-up appointments.
Always consult with the medical facility or your insurance provider for a comprehensive breakdown of all expected costs related to a hip replacement procedure.
