Insurance & EMI

Commando surgery with reconstruction is covered by almost all Indian health insurance policies as major cancer surgery, including the ICU stay and reconstruction; cancer-specific covers can supplement this with a lump-sum payout. Because the sum involved is large, Axten's cashless desk begins pre-authorisation early and coordinates any top-up approvals so the surgery date is never delayed.

0% EMI is available; a mid-range package of around Rs 5,00,000 works out to roughly Rs 41,700 per month over 12 months, with longer tenures arranged where families need smaller instalments.

Our insurance desk files cashless pre-authorisation with all major insurers and TPAs on your behalf --- you focus on recovery, we handle the paperwork.

Commando Surgery with Reconstruction cost --- FAQs

How much does commando surgery cost in India?

Commando surgery with reconstruction in India typically costs Rs 3,50,000 - Rs 6,50,000 (all-inclusive, varies by extent of resection, flap type & city). Cases needing a pedicled flap sit toward the lower end; extensive resections with microvascular free-flap and bone reconstruction reach the higher end. Axten quotes one written all-inclusive figure covering surgery, ICU and stay, with zero surprise billing. Call 8156-92-92-92.

Does insurance cover commando surgery?

Yes. As major cancer surgery, commando surgery with reconstruction is covered by almost all Indian health insurance policies, including the ICU component. Because the claim amount is substantial, Axten's cashless desk starts pre-authorisation early, checks your sum insured, and coordinates top-up or cancer-cover approvals in parallel - so financial processing never postpones an operation where timing matters.

Why does commando surgery cost more than other oral cancer operations?

It is genuinely two major operations in one sitting - complete removal of the tumour, jaw segment and neck nodes by the onco-surgical team, followed by reconstruction by plastic surgeons, over six to ten hours of theatre time. Add routine ICU monitoring and a ten-to-fourteen-day stay, and the price reflects the scale. Axten's single written quote covers this entire journey upfront.

Is the ICU stay included in the package?

Yes. One to two days of ICU monitoring after commando surgery is routine and planned - not a complication - so Axten includes it in your written all-inclusive quote along with the ward stay, tracheostomy care and tube feeding. Only a prolonged ICU stay for a genuine unforeseen complication falls outside the package, and insurance typically covers such situations.

What will the radiation after surgery cost?

Most patients need post-operative radiation starting four to six weeks after surgery, and it is quoted as a separate written package once your pathology and healing are reviewed - typically in addition to the surgical cost. Radiation is insurance-covered, and Axten's cashless desk arranges a fresh approval for that phase. You will know the radiation cost in writing before the first sitting.

How can a family afford a surgery of this scale?

Very few families pay the whole amount from savings. In practice, cashless insurance covers the bulk, a cancer-specific cover or critical-illness payout adds a cushion if you have one, and Axten's 0% EMI spreads the balance - a mid-range package of about Rs 5,00,000 comes to roughly Rs 41,700 monthly over a year. Your care coordinator builds this plan with you before admission.
