Hello Kantha G Rao ji,
Thank you for your question. Here's a detailed response regarding knee replacement surgery at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad and the applicability of Ayushman Bharat coverage.
The cost of knee replacement surgery typically starts from ₹2 lakhs, but it can vary significantly based on several key factors:
Type of surgery: Unilateral (one knee) or bilateral (both knees)
Procedure technique: Traditional, Arthroscopic or Robotic
Implant quality and brand used (imported vs. Indian)
Room category (general ward, private room, deluxe)
Patient’s age and existing health conditions
Duration of hospital stay
Pre- and post-surgery physiotherapy and medicines
Diagnostic tests and investigations required
Insurance and financing options, if available
To receive treatment under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme, the hospital must be officially empanelled. Apollo Jubilee Hills is a reputed private hospital, but empanelment may vary by department and treatment type.
You can follow these simple steps to verify whether Apollo Jubilee Hills is Ayushman-approved:
Visit the official website: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/empnlWorkFlow.htm
Select:
State: Telangana
District: Hyderabad
In the search bar, type “Apollo Jubilee Hills”
Click Search to view if it appears in the empanelled list
Check if orthopaedic or knee replacement treatment is listed under services
If the hospital is not empanelled, you can still avail Ayushman Bharat benefits at other top hospitals in Hyderabad that are approved under the scheme.
Wishing you strength and a successful recovery journey!
