Cost of Myringotomy in India

The cost of myringotomy in India depends on a variety of factors such as:

• Choice of treatment city and hospital

Myringotomy costs in India can be a little different depending on the city you are getting your treatment in. Similarly, the cost of hospitalization also depends on your treatment city. In metro cities like Kolkata and Mumbai, the cost of medical treatment is usually higher than in non-metro cities.

• Post-surgical care and complications

Although safe, the success of myringotomy surgery without any complications cannot be guaranteed. It can be associated with postoperative complications such as scarring of the eardrum, hearing loss, infection, injury to the ear canal, etc. Proper postoperative care is required to avoid such complications, especially in children, as it may result in delayed speech development.

• Surgeon fees

The surgeon’s consultation and operative fees depend on their expertise and experience. An experienced surgeon has more chances of successfully completing the treatment without any complications.

• Cost of diagnostic tests

To ensure the procedure is successful, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the severity of the infection and the type of procedure required. The type of tympanostomy tubes required for the surgery is also selected based on the results of the diagnostic tests. The costs of diagnostic tests usually required for myringotomy are:

• Blood test: Rs. 300 – Rs. 500
• Audiometry: Rs. 500 – Rs. 1000
• Tympanometry: Rs. 500 – Rs. 1000
• Imaging tests like CT scan: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 3500
• Insurance coverage

Myringotomy (with tympanostomy) is usually only performed for severe cases of otitis, therefore, it is usually covered by most major health insurance policies. However, the extent of the coverage depends on the terms of the policy.
