Does Insurance Cover Neurosurgery in India?

Yes, insurance can cover neurosurgery in India, but the extent of coverage depends on the type of policy, the insurance provider, and the specific terms and conditions. Comprehensive health insurance policies typically include neurosurgical procedures, covering costs related to pre-operative consultations, diagnostic tests, surgery, hospitalisation, and post-operative care. 

It is important to thoroughly review your insurance plans to understand the coverage limits, exclusions, and any required pre-authorisations for surgery.

Additionally, some international insurance plans are accepted at top Indian hospitals, making it easier for medical travellers to access neurosurgical care. Policyholders should consult with their insurance providers and the hospital's billing department to ensure all necessary documentation and approvals are in place before undergoing surgery.
