A number of factors, such as the location and complexity of the procedure can affect the cost of a myringoplasty procedure.
The severity of the condition: The cost of surgery will vary depending on the severity of the condition. Minor infections can typically be treated with standard procedures, but for chronic infections, a more intensive care or modified treatment may be required, resulting in an increased cost.
Surgeon’s charges: The fee of surgery may vary depending on the surgeon’s experience and abilities. Generally, surgeons with more expertise may charge a slightly higher rate than those with less experience.Â
Hospital charges: Private hospitals typically charge a higher rate than government hospitals because of the amenities and facilities they provide.
Insurance support: This factor involves the basis of your insurance plan coverage. You must ensure that your insurance plan will cover the cost of the procedure, or you have to make expenses out of your pocket only.Â
Age of the patient: Ideally, children or aged people need gentle care. This may require an alteration of the procedure, which may inflate or deflate the cost of the procedure.Â
Cost of diagnostic tests: Your surgeon may suggest certain diagnostic tests to evaluate the seriousness of your condition. These tests may include:
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- X-ray
- Ultrasound, or other imaging tests.
Additionally, the cost of a myringoplasty may increase if the patient chooses to stay in the hospital overnight or if the procedure is done on an outpatient basis.
