Planning a hip replacement in Mumbai? The total cost usually depends on four major factors:
The implant you choose,
The hospital and its pricing level,
The room/bed class, and
The surgical package (surgeon fee, OT charges, consumables, investigations, physiotherapy, and follow-up care).
Most private hospitals in Mumbai offer hip replacement packages that range from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh, but your final bill can be lower or higher depending on implant type and room selection.
This guide explains implant costs (₹70,000 to ₹1,75,000), hospital-to-hospital variation, room-wise pricing differences, and gives a practical cost table and checklist to help you plan confidently.
Quick Summary
Implant cost range: ₹70,000 (lower-cost Indian implants) to ₹1,75,000 (premium imported/proven implants).
Typical Mumbai cost: ₹1.5–₹5.0 lakh depending on hospital, implant type, technique (standard vs robotic), and stay duration.
Room class impact: Moving from general ward → deluxe/suite can increase your total bill by ₹30,000–₹80,000+.
Insurance: Most policies cover hip replacement, but check implant limits, room eligibility, and pre-authorization rules.
1) Cost Components — What You Actually Pay For
A typical hip replacement bill includes:
1. Implant / Prosthesis Cost
Femoral stem, acetabular cup, liners, and head (metal, ceramic, polyethylene).This is one of the biggest cost factors. Revision Surgeries have prices which are usually higher than standard costs of implants.
2. Surgeon’s Fee
Surgeon + assistant surgeon + anaesthetist charges.
3. Operation Theatre (OT) & Hospital Package
OT use, sterile consumables, medicines, nursing, ICU (if needed), pre-op optimization.
4. Room Charges
General ward → semi-private → private → deluxe → suite.
5. Investigations
Blood tests, ECG, X-rays, MRI/CT (if needed), physician/cardiology clearance.
6. Post-op Physiotherapy & Rehab
Inpatient physiotherapy + outpatient follow-ups.
7. Miscellaneous
Implant warranty/registration, follow-up visits, dressing charges, traceability documents.
2) Implant Pricing (₹70,000 → ₹1,75,000): Indian vs Imported
A) Lower-cost Indian implants & Foreign implant (₹70,000–₹1,00,000)
Locally manufactured
Lower upfront cost
Limited long-term registry data compared to global brands
Suitable for lower activity and budget-conscious patients
B) Mid-range implants (₹1,00,000–₹1,40,000)
Better materials/designs
Includes established Indian brands and some imported options
C) Premium imported / proven implants (₹1,40,000–₹1,75,000+)
Internationally used systems with long-term survivorship data
Advanced bearing surfaces (ceramic-on-ceramic, ceramic-on-poly, highly cross-linked polyethylene)
Higher initial cost but excellent long-term track record
Important: Costlier implants don’t automatically give better results. The surgeon’s expertise and correct sizing/technique matter equally.
3) Example Cost Breakdown
Item | Low-cost (Ward) | Mid-range (Private Room) | Premium (Deluxe/Suite) |
Implant | ₹70,000 | ₹1,20,000 | ₹1,75,000 |
Surgeon + Anaesthesia | ₹40,000 | ₹50,000 | ₹70,000 |
OT + Consumables | ₹60,000 | ₹80,000 | ₹1,20,000 |
Room (2–4 days) | ₹6,000 | ₹18,000 | ₹45,000 |
Investigations + Medicines | ₹15,000 | ₹20,000 | ₹25,000 |
Physiotherapy + Follow-up | ₹8,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹12,000 |
Estimated Total | ₹1.99 lakh | ₹2.98 lakh | ₹4.47 lakh |
These are typical city-wide ranges and may change between hospitals.
4) Why Hospital-to-Hospital Costs Vary
1. Hospital Reputation & Accreditation
Premium multispecialty hospitals and JCI/NABH-accredited centres charge higher.
2. Location & Infrastructure
South Mumbai and large corporate hospitals have higher operational costs.
3. Technology Used
Robotic-assisted or navigation-assisted hip replacement increases the package cost.
4. Implant Inventory
Hospitals stocking premium imported implants offer higher-priced packages.
5. Type of Facility
Single-owner, smaller hospitals often offer more economical packages with fewer add-ons.
5) How Room / Bed Class Affects the Final Bill
Choosing a room affects much more than room rent:
General Ward / Shared
Lowest cost
Same quality of treatment but less privacy
Semi-Private / Twin Sharing
Moderate cost
Balanced comfort
Private AC Room / Deluxe
Higher comfort, higher charges
Suite / Premium Room
Highest cost, maximum privacy and amenities
Room Selection Also Raises Other Charges
This is important:
Surgeon fee, anaesthesia fee, OT charges, nursing charges, doctor visit charges, and even consumables are linked to the room class.
Example: A private room or deluxe patient may pay ₹20,000–₹60,000 more overall than a ward patient even with the same implant.
6) Insurance, Schemes & Finance Options
Health Insurance
Most policies cover THR
Pre-authorization required
Some insurers restrict implant brands
Room category mismatch can reduce reimbursement
Government Schemes
Some state and central schemes (Ayushman Bharat, MJPJAY, ECHS, CGHS, etc.) cover hip replacement in empanelled hospitals.
EMI Options
Many hospitals offer 0% EMI or partner with medical finance companies.
7) Choosing the Right Implant & Saving Smartly
Ask about the long-term data of the implant
Request the implant invoice and batch number
Compare 2–3 hospitals with itemised quotes
Ask what’s included/excluded in the package
Check warranty/documentation
Choose room class wisely — it affects the entire bill
Focus on surgeon expertise, not just implant price
8) Practical Checklist Before Scheduling Surgery
✔ Get detailed quotes from multiple hospitals✔ Confirm brand/model & exact price of implant✔ Verify exclusions (ICU, extended stay, complications)✔ Check insurance pre-authorization rules✔ Confirm room-class impact on total bill✔ Ask about physiotherapy sessions included✔ Discuss return-to-work timeline and precautions
Conclusion
Hip replacement in Mumbai can cost anywhere from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh, depending mainly on the implant, hospital, and room category. Understanding these components helps you choose wisely, plan your budget, and select the best value package without compromising on quality or safety.
