Cost & Insurance Information
Understanding the cost of robotic knee replacement, robotic hip replacement, and other orthopaedic procedures in Bangalore — and what insurance covers. Transparent information to help you plan.
The cost of any orthopaedic surgical procedure — including robotic knee replacement — varies significantly between patients based on individual factors. Publishing a single price figure would be misleading. What we commit to is full cost transparency at consultation, before you make any decision.
At your consultation, you will receive:
1. Implant Type & Brand
Premium implants from established manufacturers (Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew) have extensive long-term data and typically cost more than entry-level alternatives. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode uses implants with published 15+ year survivorship data.
2. Conventional vs. Robotic
Robotic-assisted surgery (MAKO) involves a pre-operative CT scan and use of the robotic system, which adds to the total cost. This is often partially or fully covered by insurance under knee replacement surgery codes.
3. Total vs. Partial Replacement
Partial knee replacement (unicompartmental) typically costs less than total knee replacement due to smaller implants and shorter operating time. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode assesses each patient individually to recommend the most appropriate procedure.
4. Single vs. Bilateral Surgery
Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement (both knees at once) has different cost implications than staged surgery. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode advises on the safest and most appropriate approach for each patient.
5. Hospital Stay
Most patients stay 2–3 nights at Sparsh Hospital. Room category (general, semi-private, private) affects the total hospital bill. Insurance coverage typically includes the room up to a stated daily limit.
6. Anaesthesia & OT Charges
Anaesthesia fees, operation theatre charges, and consumables are included in the hospital bill. These vary between hospitals and are itemised in the cost estimate provided at consultation.

The cost varies by implant type, hospital room category, and individual clinical factors. A personalised cost estimate is provided at your consultation with Dr. Chetan M. Dojode. Most major health insurance policies cover robotic knee replacement.
Robotic knee replacement typically costs slightly more than conventional surgery due to the CT scan for pre-operative planning and use of the robotic system. This difference is often covered by insurance. The precision of robotic surgery may reduce the long-term risk of implant failure, making it cost-effective over a 15–20 year horizon.
Yes. Most major health insurance policies in India cover robotic knee replacement under the knee arthroplasty benefit.
