Hip Replacement Cost Comparison

  • CGHS package (non-NABH) + implant — Rs 79,000 + implant ceiling
  • CGHS package (NABH) — Rs 90,850 + implant
  • Private hospital, typical — Rs 2,50,000 - 5,00,000
  • Private, premium / robotic — Rs 3,80,000 - 7,00,000

Rates shown are as per the CGHS package rates (OM dated 01.10.2014 schedule) and PM-JAY HBP 2022, alongside typical private-hospital ranges from Indian hospital sources (2014/2022 schemes; private ranges 2025) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.

Why the Difference Is So Large

Government schemes pay fixed, pre-negotiated package rates, while private list prices reflect facility tier, implant or technology choice, surgeon fees and room category. For eligible beneficiaries, scheme treatment is largely cashless at empanelled hospitals, so the scheme rate is what the scheme pays the hospital rather than your out-of-pocket cost.
