whatsthecost.in/ exists to give patients clear, honest information about the cost of medical care in India. This page explains the standards that govern what we publish.
Independence from hospitals and providers
No hospital, clinic, diagnostic centre, or healthcare provider pays to be featured on this site, and none can influence the cost figures we publish. We do not sell placement, we do not rank providers in exchange for payment, and our research is not shaped by any provider’s commercial interest. This independence is the foundation of the site.
Separation of editorial content and advertising
whatsthecost.in/ may earn revenue through advertising or affiliate partnerships to support the cost of research and publishing. Where this applies, it is disclosed on our disclosures page. Any such commercial relationship is kept strictly separate from our cost research. A partnership never determines a price figure, never decides whether a procedure or provider is mentioned, and never changes how a procedure is presented.
Accuracy and review
Every procedure guide is researched against multiple sources, broken down into its cost components, and reviewed before publication for clarity and internal consistency. Our full research process is described in our research methodology, and the sources we rely on are listed on our data sources page.
Keeping content current
Medical costs change. We review and update procedure guides on a regular cycle, and each guide indicates the period its figures reflect. Older guidance is revised and refreshed rather than left to drift out of date.
Corrections
We take accuracy seriously, and we correct errors promptly. If you find a figure, fact, or statement on this site that you believe is wrong or out of date, please tell us through our contact page. Include the page link and, where possible, the source or bill that supports the correct information. We review every report and update the page wherever a correction is warranted.
What this site does not do
whatsthecost.in/ publishes cost information and general guidance. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified doctor. Please also read our medical disclaimer before acting on any information here.
