It is important to note that the cost for each individual will vary depending on their need and requirements. Usually, an elective procedure such as a knee replacement would cost on average of $30,000 in the US. Whereas getting that same procedure done using similar quality parts in India would cost 40 – 60% less than the cost in the US, including the hospital stay, all procedure and physicians costs and transportation to and from India.
