What can move your number: the grade of your disease, an implant you choose to upgrade, a longer ICU stay, or a second condition found on admission. Marlin's fee is not one of them — we charge patients nothing. Hospitals pay us, and you see the same rate card either way.

Why us

The parts nobody warns you about

Follow-up after you fly home

Reports sent to your doctor at home, and a route back to your surgeon if something changes.

Accredited hospitals only

Every partner hospital's accreditation is listed on its own page, with the accrediting body named.

Direct Answers & Guidance

Frequently Asked Question

Quick Take: Medical procedures in India cost 60% to 80% less than in the US, UK, and Europe, while utilizing the same FDA-approved implants and robotic surgical technologies.
Major medical procedures in India—including cardiac surgery, joint replacements, and organ transplants—typically cost between 60% to 80% less than in the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia. For example, a total knee replacement costs approximately $4,500 to $6,500 in India compared to $35,000+ in the US. The lower cost is driven by favorable currency exchange rates and lower hospital administrative overheads, without compromising clinical outcomes.
