Enteroscopy Cost

What is the Enteroscopy Cost in India?

The cost of an Enteroscopy is determined by a variety of factors. It varies depending on the patient's individual health condition, the type of endoscopy recommended by their doctor, and the type of anaesthetic used.  Depending on the severity of the problem, Enteroscopy in India costs anywhere from INR Rs. 15,000/-  to INR Rs. 40,000. Based on the locations, let’s see the cost of this procedure in different cities.

What factors affect the Enteroscopy Cost?

Due to the following reasons, the price of an Enteroscopy varies from person to person-

• Complications after Surgery: The medical team may need to perform an additional procedure before or after the primary procedure in order to control complications in some circumstances, such as when patients have pre-existing medical conditions, when the case is complicated at the time of the procedure, or when complications arise unexpectedly during the procedure. There are extra costs that are added to the Enteroscopy cost.

• Admission Room: These charges cover the cost of the operating room (OT), the patient's room, and the number of days the patient stays in the room both before and after the Enteroscopy. In the event of difficulties during or following endoscopy, the patient is watched in the intensive care unit (ICU) until they are stabilised. Charges for the ICU are added to the endoscopy's overall cost.

• Diagnostic Test Charges: The cost of diagnostic testing for Enteroscopy is another element of the overall endoscopic cost. The total cost is increased by adding them. Enteroscopy diagnostic test costs differ across hospitals. 

• Medicine Cost: For a successful Enteroscopy procedure, the surgeon will often prescribe medicines before and after. These prescription medications increase Enteroscopy’s overall cost. Although certain non-medical things are covered by insurance, many medicines are costly and drive up the cost of Enteroscopy as a whole.
