Upload your hospital bill PDF. Our AI finds inflated charges, duplicate items, and items that were never given to you — and tells you exactly how much to negotiate.
These are the most common tricks used in Indian private hospitals. Knowing them helps you spot problems in your bill before paying.
Hospitals bill for medicines, gloves, syringes, and consumables that were never actually used. This is the #1 source of inflated bills. A single surgery can have 40–80 consumable line items — many never opened.
The same test, medicine, or procedure billed twice — sometimes with slightly different names. OT charges billed once as "Operation Theatre" and again as "OT consumables" for the exact same procedure.
Patient admitted to a general ward but billed for semi-private or private room rates for some days. Patient often not told about the upgrade. Makes every doctor visit and nursing charge proportionally higher.
Specialist consultation fees charged for doctors who never visited the patient. "Visiting consultant" charges for 5–10 specialists when only 1 or 2 actually came. Each visit ₹500–₹2,000 per entry.
Tests ordered that have no clinical relevance to your condition. A patient admitted for appendicitis may get billed for MRI scans, thyroid tests, and cardiac workups that had no bearing on treatment.
Generic drug prescribed but branded version billed at 8–15x the price. "Paracetamol 500mg" billed as ₹12/tablet when the same drug costs ₹1.2/tablet under its generic name. Multiply by 30–50 tablets.
Patient spends 1 day in ICU but is billed for 2–3 ICU days. ICU rates are 5–10x regular ward rates. Even half-day in ICU often billed as full day. Always track which ward you were in each day.
Vague charges like "miscellaneous," "hospital charges," "facility fees," "administrative charges" with no breakdown. These are often padded by 200–500% and hospitals rarely justify them when challenged.
Itemized bill with every charge listed separately. Justification for every test and procedure. Right to refuse any non-emergency treatment. Right to take a second opinion. Right to take your own medicines.
