At Varunam Super Speciality Hospital, coordinators assist patients with eligibility verification and documentation. Therefore, patients can focus on treatment and recovery while administrative processes are handled efficiently. Moreover, cashless treatment ensures that financial concerns never delay surgery.
Eligibility depends on government-defined socio-economic criteria. Families listed under the SECC database or holding an Ayushman Bharat health card qualify for the hip replacement package. However, navigating eligibility verification can be confusing. Therefore, Varunam Super Speciality Hospital provides dedicated assistance to verify documents, check eligibility, and complete pre-authorisation quickly. Once approved, patients can schedule hip replacement surgery promptly, preventing further deterioration of joint health and prolonged pain.
Proper documentation ensures a smooth and quick approval process for cashless hip replacement. Patients should prepare:
- Ayushman Bharat card or e-card
- Government-issued identity proof (Aadhaar card, voter ID, or ration card)
- Medical records, X-rays, or MRI scans of the hip
The hospital team guides patients through document submission and verification, ensuring minimal administrative delays. Consequently, patients focus entirely on treatment and rehabilitation.
The Ayushman Bharat hip replacement package treats conditions that severely impair mobility and cause persistent pain. These include:
- Severe hip arthritis causing stiffness and chronic pain
- Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head
- Hip fractures or trauma-related joint damage
- Deformities affecting hip function and alignment
These procedures aim to relieve pain, restore hip function, and improve long-term mobility. Therefore, patients can resume daily activities comfortably and confidently after recovery.
The hip replacement process begins with a detailed clinical evaluation, imaging, and functional assessment. After diagnosis, eligibility under Ayushman Bharat is verified and pre-authorisation is obtained. Once approved, patients are admitted without any upfront payment. Surgery is performed in a sterile, well-equipped operation theatre under expert supervision. Post-operative care and physiotherapy begin immediately, promoting faster recovery. Consequently, patients experience a smooth and transparent treatment journey from admission to discharge.
