Narayana Health Price List: Procedures & Tests Cost

OPD consultation fees at Narayana Health are standardised by department category across NH facilities. The figures below are drawn from NH’s published Schedule of Charges (effective January 2024) and are indicative of the pricing structure applied across NH’s national network, including Bangalore.

* OPD consultation fees are drawn from NH’s Schedule of Charges (effective January 2024) for NH Raipur — an NH facility whose SOC is publicly available. NICS Bangalore’s OPD fees may differ; the Watchdoq source (March 2025 update) confirms NICS Bangalore general OPD at ~₹300 and private consultation at ~₹800. The January 2024 SOC values shown are the standardised NH department rate structure. Consultation is valid for 7 days from billing date (maximum 1 visit to same consultant).

Room category selection is the single most important pricing decision a patient makes when admitted to Narayana Hrudayalaya because it determines not just the bed cost, but the rate charged for every procedure, investigation, and doctor visit during the stay.

Narayana Health applies a differential billing structure: all inpatient charges are calculated at the rate applicable to the room category opted.

Critical billing rule: If a patient requests a room upgrade during the hospital stay, all procedure and surgery charges are retrospectively revised to the higher room category rate not just from the date of transfer, but from the date of admission. This means choosing a room category at admission is a significant financial decision that patients cannot easily reverse without additional cost. HexaHealth advises patients on room category selection before admission to prevent billing surprises.

The following pricing covers all major treatment categories at Narayana Hrudayalaya.

Cardiac & Cardiovascular

Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement

Neurology & Neurosurgery

Oncology (Cancer Care)

Nephrology & Kidney Care

Gastroenterology & GI Surgery

Diagnostics & Imaging

Preventive Health Checkup Packages

Narayana Health offers a range of preventive health checkup packages through its mahi (Manipal Hospitals Healthy India) programme at NICS Bangalore and standalone packages at Narayana Multispeciality hospitals. These are among the most competitively priced health checkup packages from a JCI-accredited hospital in Bangalore.

1. 80% Advance Before Surgery: NH requires 80% of the estimated/package amount to be deposited before the patient enters the operating theatre. Plan liquidity or TPA pre-authorisation at least 3–5 days before the scheduled surgery date.
2. Consumables Always Extra: Medicines, consumables, and implants (stents, prostheses, bone grafts, pacemakers) are never included in surgery packages. For cardiac and orthopaedic procedures this can add ₹50,000–₹5,00,000 on top of the base package price.
3. Room Upgrade = Retroactive Cost Increase: If a patient requests a room upgrade after admission, all procedure and visit charges are retrospectively recalculated at the higher room category rate from the date of admission — not just from the date of transfer.
4. Emergency & After-Hours Surcharge: Procedures performed between 8pm–8am, on public holidays, or on Sundays attract an additional ₹10,000 charge. High-risk surgeries carry a 15% surcharge above the standard package rate. Both are confirmed across NH’s published SOC documents.
5. Free Follow-Up OPD (6 Days): One follow-up OPD consultation is 100% discounted within 6 days of discharge after a surgical or medical inpatient case. This is a standard NH billing policy confirmed in all published SOC documents.
6. Max 1 Consultant Visit Per Day: The treating consultant can charge a maximum of 1 visit per day for IPD patients. In ICU, both the treating consultant and the intensivist can charge 1 visit each. Referral consultants: maximum 1 visit per day per specialty.

Getting an Accurate NH Cost Estimate Before You Arrive

The difference between a ₹2 lakh estimate and a ₹6 lakh final bill at Narayana Hrudayalaya is almost always the room category decision made at admission or unexpected consumable costs that weren’t factored in.

One of the most-cited reasons patients choose Narayana Health is cost. The affordability is not accidental, it is a structural outcome of the high-volume, economies-of-scale model pioneered by Dr Devi Shetty.

* Competitor price ranges are market benchmarks from HexaHealth’s Bangalore database. Final prices vary by room category, procedure complexity, surgeon seniority, and implant choice. NH’s General Ward pricing is its strongest price advantage; private room pricing at NH is more comparable to other hospitals.
