2How much is the first consultation at CION in Hyderabad?
Your first consultation with a CION specialist in Hyderabad is ₹950. If you’ve already been diagnosed with cancer, your first second opinion is free: a specialist reviews your reports with you in person. The tumour board review of your case is free for every patient. Tests, scans and treatment are paid for separately, and you get a written cost estimate before treatment starts.
3Can I have chemotherapy at a CION centre in Hyderabad?
Yes. Day-care chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy are given at CION’s Hyderabad centres, and you go home the same day. Your medical oncologist plans each cycle.
4Is CION a cancer hospital? Is surgery or radiation done at the centres?
CION’s Hyderabad centres are cancer clinics for consultations, tests, biopsies and day-care treatment, and you go home the same day. Major surgery is done at a partner hospital and smaller procedures at selected CION centres, and your surgeon tells you where. Radiation is given at partner centres. Your CION doctors plan it with you.
5Can I bring reports from another hospital for a second opinion?
Yes. Bring your biopsy report, scans with their CDs, treatment details and medicine list. A CION specialist goes through them with you, and your case goes to the tumour board. There’s no commitment to move your treatment to CION.
6Do you help with insurance or EMI?
Yes. The team helps with cashless insurance, there’s an EMI facility, and you get a written cost estimate before treatment starts. Ask at the desk or when you call.
7Can I consult a doctor by video?
Yes. Video consultations are available, which helps if you live far away or find travel hard. Ask for one when you book. Tests, biopsies and day-care treatment need a visit to the centre.
8How do I choose a cancer hospital in Hyderabad?
Ask whether a team of cancer specialists, not one doctor, agrees your plan; whether you get a written plan and cost estimate before treatment starts; and whether chemotherapy can be given close to home. At CION, the tumour board reviews every case, day-care treatment is given at seven Hyderabad centres, and your CION doctors arrange surgery and radiation at partner hospitals. Our guide to choosing a cancer hospital in Hyderabad lists five questions to ask.
