WHY INDIA ?

India is fast becoming the world's first choice destination for healthcare services - especially cardiac surgery. With rapidly expanding infrastructure, clinical expertise and international standard implementation, India is servicing the healthcare needs, at reasonable costs, of international patients from around the world. Cardiac Surgery and other Surgery Costs are among the most affordable in the world.

In recent years many countries have experienced a shortage of speciality care providers, which has restricted their access to quality and cost effective medical care. In sharp contrast India has concentrated on increasing the availability of speciality cares thereby avoiding the shortage of medical professionals. In fact, the availability of clinical expertise, reasonable Cardiac Surgery and other Surgery Costs are among the most affordable in the world, and internationally trained and educated medical professionals is a major factor in the growth of foreign patient procedures in India.

Travel Assistance

Fortis will assist patients in making the appropriate arrangements for their travel within India. Our partners are aware of our patient's needs, proximity to locations, and modes of transport. As such, they have assembled a wide range of accommodation (5 Star to Budget), transport and excursion tours at special rates. Patients can also build any aspect of their trip through this agency or on their own.

Insurance Services

We currently do not accept direct foreign insurance payments; however we are willing to discuss payment options with your insurance provider in the event your policy covers services rendered away from your home residence. All payment arrangements should be handled in advance.

Financial Services

All scheduled services require a deposit of 10% made in advance of planned procedures. The balance payment will be required upon admission and incidental charges will be due upon the patient's discharge. We accept payment by Cheque, CC, MO, DD and cash. All bills must be settled in US$ or Indian Rupees.

We can provide facilities for foreign currency (amounts less than US$ 5,000) while you are in India. All other foreign exchange requirements should be handled prior to your arrival in India.
