What is the cost of total knee replacement?
Answer:
The cost of total knee replacement varies depending on age, type of surgery, brand of replacement, and other factors. In the United States, an uninsured patient can expect to pay upwards of $45,000.
In most other places in the world, the cost is far lower. Patients can take advantage of globalization and receive total knee replacement surgery for a low price in a number of destinations.
The following is a chart of the estimated cost of knee replacement around the world:
Country Estimated Price (USD)
United States $45,000-$60,000
Singapore $18,000-$22,000
Thailand $12,000-$14,000
Taiwan $9,000-$10,000
India $7,000-$11,000
Do not calculate cost when you go for a major surgery.
People often select a good doctor, good implant & good medicines. Dont go on Hospital room & luxury looks as it does not change your outcome.
We are in Medical Tourism & we call our patients India for effective treatment at very reasonable costs.
Just 5000 to 6000 USD including World Class Implant on 1 side Knee Replacement.
Plus your air fare & if you want to travel across India after your surgery to some cool locations that is additional patch up. It can vary from 3000 USD for travels extra.
For Knee cases I think best guy is Dr Swetal Bhavsar ( Knee & Hip Surgeon ).
He treats all kind of people, right from ordinary uninsured senior citizens to the higher class patients in various luxury hospitals of India.
He is using standard International brand implants & uses also according to patients' choice also. He is comfortable with all good company implants.
He has started doing some latest work like small incision Knee surgeries etc. He practices in Ahmedabad & also in Mumbai.
My many relatives & a few members from our family are his patients. They all tell they were in best hands.
You should see him if you ever face Knee problem. We have been in medical tourism and we are happy with his work.
