Many asked for prices and had to wait too long for an answer, especially those who only wanted to know how much a surgery would be and did not want to communicate with me yet. This page was therefore created to answer commonly asked questions related to prices and showed close-to-actual prices of many procedures. After more than 10 years, we later found that most patients still asked for prices even though they were listed here. Some could not find their interested procedures and prices although they were listed here. Some saw the prices but still asked me and my assistant for the prices. Some asked what were included in the prices even though it was already explained on this page. So, at the end, we decide to pull off all the prices.
Estimated price
Quality-based approach VS Financial-based approach
We can quote a price but do not assume that it is the final. Please understand that there is no fixed and guaranteed price of a surgery. So do not expect a quotation which guarantees the cost of surgery. We call our pricing technique as quality-based approach.
Accurate estimation of cost is a time-consuming job and is a responsibility, so it will be done only after patient confirms to have a surgery. The procedure names and estimated operative time will be given to the hospital, anesthesiologist and surgical assistant so that the most accurate costs can be provided. After gathering answers from the hospital and the surgical team, the final estimated price will be informed together with payment methods.
For an estimated price, there are composed of the surgical team fee and the hospital charge.
The surgical team fee is certain and covers surgeon's fee, assistant's fee, anesthesiologist's fee and one compression garment (if needed). Payment will be splitted into 2 portions.
- Payment of the first smaller portion is necessary to book a surgery date and it is non-refundable.
- The rest of the surgical team fee can be paid at any time prior to the surgery.
The hospital charge is not certain. It must be paid before discharged. We try to make the estimated hospital charge very close to the actual cost, but it is not guaranteed. Nobody can know the total hospital charge before discharge. The actual cost is the combined result of used medicines and medical supplies, operating time, room charges and take-home medicines. Dr. Nond, as your surgeon, will just use the best medicines/instruments and the best effort in the surgery to get the desired results without being financially pressured by factors such as operating time, cost of instruments/medicines or medical supplies.
Financial-based Approach
Some other hospitals or doctors provide fixed package prices but the prices are usually overrated or there are hidden limitations in term of allowed operating time, instruments, number and quality of allowed medicines and medical supplies. This means you might not get the best effort, medicines and medical supplies by using the fixed price approach.
There is no hidden cost
An estimated price does not include: -
- Consultation fee (600-1,500 Baht, this includes a hospital charge for using the consultation facility)
- Preoperative tests (thousands Baht, depending on your health OR have check-up tests done within one month before surgery at your hospital)
- Take-home medications (a few thousands Baht OR bring your own medicines)
- Postoperative care
- the first postoperative visit - no doctor fee, no hospital charge
- following postoperative visits - doctor fee of 300-1,200 Baht, hospital charge of 300 Baht, prescribed medical supplies and medicines, used medical instruments and supply
- Treatment of complications
- Pathology examination
Dr. Nond has no control over the hospital charges.
If you plan to have additional procedure which will cost more, please prepare enough Thai Baht cash to pay before the surgery time.
Hospital charges in patients with chronic illness can be much more than expected. Doctors’ fees and hospital charges in HIV patients will also be a lot higher than usual.
