In terms of costs they vary. If you go to a public hospital, it will be far less and if you are from a low income group you don't have to pay even if you do not have insurance. At the most there is some token amount to be given. Private hospitals charge much more but there are many of them unlike the limited number of public hospitals. So you can visit the one most convenient to you.
There are many places where you can get diagnosis done - other than hospitals, there are diagnostic centres. Costs vary but due to stiff competition, there are many package deals and discount schemes.
What I like best however is the fact that you do not have to pay to get your prescription read. The pharmacist does it and gives you the appropriate medicine, and you only have to purchase the medicine. If you are a regular customer, your medical records will be in the computer of the pharmacist and refilling a prescription is easy. Also, you can send the prescription by whatsapp to your regular pharmacist and he'll keep the medicine ready for you to pick up or send it over to your place (free home delivery)
To visit a doctor, in a private clinic would cost around INR 300-500 to around Rs. 1500-2000 in a big hospital.
In general, doctors in a big hospital would "recommend" you to take several tests, xray, scans etc just to be sure and rule out complications or conditions. These tests can easily cost 4000-10000 depending on the hospital. Most of the time, they are not really necessary.
Insurance claims require that you spend at least one night at the hospital. the hospitals usually have different rates depending on whether you pay yourself or pay via insurance (they charge 3-4x more if you have insurance for the same treatment).
quality of the equipments are usually good in big hospitals. however, it could be very crowded and booking an appointment in advance is better.
Most doctors and staff are friendly, especially if they know you have money.
Hospital like Bombay Breach Candy Jaslok Lilavati all private is not for middle class people Doctor Visiting Charges one time Rs 1500/_ and more for speciality dictor .
In Government Hospital low cost yes you will get good treatment but you have to spend more time for reaching from one department first case paper to take out up to that time patient wait for treatment.
