There are four routes — and they can be combined. It is common to use insurance for the admission and pay separately for an upgraded lens or a non-covered item.
If your insurer or TPA is empanelled with us, approved treatment is billed directly to them.
CGHS, ECHS, Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), Health Department Government of Haryana, and the four public-sector insurers.
Monthly instalments through Savein, NBFC partners or select debit cards.
Cash, card, UPI or net banking, with a printed bill and discharge summary you can submit for reimbursement later.
Almost certainly, yes — but how you pay depends on whether we are empanelled with your insurer or TPA.
We raise a pre-authorisation request with your insurer or Third Party Administrator (TPA) before surgery. Once they approve, they settle the approved amount with us directly and you pay only what falls outside the approval.
You pay at discharge and claim the money back from your insurer yourself. We give you the full documentation set — bills, discharge summary, investigation reports, implant sticker — so your claim is complete. This is the route when your insurer is not empanelled with us, or when cashless is declined for a policy reason such as a waiting period.
Empanelment lists change — insurers and TPAs add and withdraw hospitals, and policy terms are revised. Treat the list above as a guide, not a confirmation. Our insurance desk verifies your current status before admission, and that verification is what counts.
Eligibility is decided by the scheme authority, not by us. What we can do is verify your card, raise the request correctly and keep you informed at each stage.
Central Government Health Scheme, for serving and retired central government employees, pensioners and dependants with a valid CGHS card.
Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme, for ex-servicemen, dependants and eligible war widows with an ECHS smart card.
For families identified as eligible under the national scheme, using a valid Ayushman card linked to the beneficiary. Our work under this scheme was recognised with the Ayushman Bharat Award by Dainik Jagran in 2021 and again in 2024.
For state government employees and beneficiaries covered under Haryana health department arrangements.
New Delhi Municipal Council health scheme, for NDMC employees, pensioners and dependants with a valid NDMC card.
United India, New India Assurance, National Insurance and The Oriental Insurance, for policyholders and public-sector group scheme members.
A government photo ID plus your insurance card, e-card, CGHS/ECHS card or Ayushman card, and the policy number if your card is digital.
We verify that your insurer or TPA is currently empanelled with us and that the planned treatment falls within your policy.
Your surgeon records the diagnosis, planned procedure and estimated cost, and we submit the form to your insurer or TPA.
They may approve in full, approve in part, raise a query, or decline. That decision rests entirely with them — we cannot promise an outcome, and no hospital can.
Once approval is received you are admitted, usually same-day in a planned cataract or retina case.
Surgery is performed in one of our three modular operation theatres, with post-operative care in our in-patient ward.
The approved amount is billed to your insurer. You settle the balance, and we hand over your discharge summary, operative notes, implant details and bills.
Most policies leave some items with the patient even after approval: your deductible or co-payment, non-medical and consumable items, any room upgrade beyond your entitlement, post-operative spectacles, and anything excluded or approved at less than the billed amount. Premium lens upgrades are often only partly covered. We give you the expected out-of-pocket figure in writing before surgery.
Yes. We offer Easy EMI through Savein, and EMI is also available through NBFC partners and select debit-card options. A nominal processing fee may apply depending on the provider and tenure.
LASIK and other refractive procedures, cataract surgery and retina procedures are all EMI-eligible. Tell the billing desk after your consultation and they will show you the tenures available and what each monthly instalment works out to, so you can decide without pressure.
These are indicative starting ranges only. Your actual cost depends on your eyes, the lens or technology chosen and what your investigations show.
Femto or laser-assisted cataract surgery is charged in addition to the lens. Post-operative medicines come to roughly ₹3,000, and LASIK follow-ups are about ₹1,000 each — SMILE follow-ups are free for the first month.
All costs are indicative starting ranges and are subject to an individual consultation and eye examination. They are not a quotation.
For a fuller breakdown, see our cataract surgery cost page and our glaucoma treatment page.
Bring your policy details and we will check your cover at the same visit.
Your medical records are confidential. We share them with an insurer, TPA or scheme authority only as far as your claim requires, and we do not identify patients in any marketing material or case description.
Before any procedure your surgeon explains what is planned, the alternatives, the expected recovery and the risks, and you sign a consent form. Suitability depends on a detailed evaluation — not every patient is a candidate, and we will tell you plainly if you are not.
Book online or by phone. If you need to reschedule, tell us as early as you can so the slot can go to another patient. Specific cancellation and refund timelines are confirmed by our front desk at the time of booking.
If you want another surgeon’s view before deciding, say so. We will give you your reports and imaging to take with you, and there is no awkwardness in coming back — or in not coming back.
If something has gone wrong, write to wecare@dayaleyecentre.in or ask at reception for the administrator on duty. We would rather hear it from you than not hear it at all.
We run 15–20 community eye camps every month under our “Saving Sights, Saving Lives” programme. If you are organising a camp for a school, RWA, workplace or village, reach us on the same email.
Our insurance desk can check whether your policy or scheme covers your treatment here before you travel — call or WhatsApp us and have your policy number ready.
Nearest Metro is IFFCO Chowk (~3.5–4 km). On-site parking, with ramps and lifts for wheelchair access.
Pricing: All costs are indicative starting ranges and are subject to an individual consultation and eye examination. They are not a quotation.
Approval of any insurance claim or scheme benefit rests with your insurer, TPA or scheme authority. Dayal Eye Centre submits and follows up on your request but cannot approve a claim or promise an outcome.
