Where is an endoscopy cheapest in Surat?
The lowest actual price listed on this page is Rs 150 to Rs 300 at SMIMER (Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education & Research) (published tariff, checked 3 October 2026). It is a subsidised government rate, so expect a queue and less choice of slot. Prices change, so confirm the current rate with the facility before you go.
What does an endoscopy cost at SMIMER (Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education & Research)?
Rs 150 to Rs 300 for a diagnostic upper GI endoscopy (gastroscopy), according to SMIMER (Surat Municipal Corporation) Hospital Charges PDF (published tariff). Diagnostic scopy; lower figure for general ward, higher for special ward. Schedule undated. Expect a waiting list and confirm the current rate before you go.
Is sedation needed for an endoscopy?
Many patients have a diagnostic upper GI endoscopy with only a throat spray; others are sedated, which adds anaesthesia and monitoring charges. Discuss it with the gastroenterologist rather than deciding on price alone.
Endoscopy or colonoscopy: which costs more?
A colonoscopy examines the large bowel, needs bowel preparation and usually sedation, so it is generally priced higher than a diagnostic upper GI endoscopy.
Does insurance or Ayushman Bharat cover it?
Health insurance usually pays when the procedure is part of a hospital admission or an approved day-care claim; purely outpatient tests depend on your policy’s OPD cover. Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY covers listed packages at empanelled hospitals for eligible families, and diagnostic scans are generally paid as part of an admitted package rather than as standalone outpatient tests. Ask the hospital’s insurance or scheme desk before the procedure, not at billing.
