Do stents have fixed pricing or a maximum retail price? Is it printed somewhere? more

While I am sure that the Price would certainly be printed on the packaging but, I do not think there is any way that you will get to know about the cost since the Doctors usually decide what they want to use and make it sound as the best option for the patient. The a Doctor then decides what is to be charged for the stent. The companies also print prices the way you have MRP printed on bottled water in upmarket restaurants. more  
The hospitals have to exhibit the costs of appliances,operation charges and the service charges.At least booklet is expected. more  
As Per CGHS Cost of Bare Metal Stent is Rs 12000/-& Bare Metal Stainless Steel Stent is Rs 10000/- more  
It is better even to know the type and pricing of stents as it is normally told the patient is treated with metal stent etc. which means there are other types of stents available and the same must be made available with its cost for the patient to decide about further coursee of action as the cost should not pinch his/her purse. T RRaghavan On Friday, 6 January 2017 12:59 PM, SN GUPTA wrote: more
