Myth
What is true: Waiting often lets the cancer grow, and more advanced cancer usually needs more treatment for longer. A first consultation tells you what is needed and what it is likely to cost, before you commit to anything.
Myth
What is true: Price says little about whether a medicine suits your cancer. Some newer medicines help a great deal for certain cancers. Others add cost without adding benefit. Ask your oncologist which is true for you.
Myth
What is true: Recent, clear reports are often enough. Bring every report, scan CD and discharge summary, and the doctor will repeat a test only if the answer would change the plan.
Myth
What is true: Most chemotherapy is now given as day-care. The patient goes home the same evening, and there is no overnight ward bill.
Tell the care team what has been found, and what insurance or scheme the family holds. They fix a time with Dr. C. Raghavendra Reddy.
Every biopsy report, scan CD, blood test and discharge summary, plus insurance and scheme cards. It saves paying twice for the same test.
The oncologist orders only the tests that matter. Medical, surgical and radiation oncologists then agree one plan together.
You receive the expected cost in writing and help with cashless insurance. Nothing starts until the family agrees.

Start with a Consultation
Ask for the doctor you want, or we’ll match you.
Consultations and chemotherapy are given at CION Kukatpally. An operation and radiotherapy are not. For those, your CION doctors plan the treatment, and the care team names the centre that gives it and shares its estimate before you agree.
Most chemotherapy here is day-care. Your blood counts are checked, the medicine is given, and you go home that evening. That keeps the ward bill out of most treatment days. Some medicines need a hospital stay, and the oncologist tells you in advance if yours is one.
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. If the family holds a government or employer scheme, tell the care team. They check what it may cover and tell you plainly, without promising cover the scheme has not confirmed.
Raise cost at the first visit, even if it feels awkward. A doctor who knows the family's limits can plan the order of tests with care and keep more of the treatment in day-care. Stopping halfway for lack of money is far harder on the patient than a frank talk at the start.
CION Cancer Clinics, inside OMNI Hospitals, Mumbai Highway, opposite Big Bazaar, Balaji Nagar, Kukatpally, Hyderabad 500072. It is a short walk from Kukatpally Metro and near the Balaji Nagar bus stop. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Families from JNTU, Bharat Nagar, Moosapet and Balanagar often find it the nearest centre.
These do not lower the standard of care. They help the doctor pick a plan the family can see through to the end.
For many cancers there is more than one reasonable treatment. Ask what each would mean for the patient, and for the family's budget.
Ask whether each part of the treatment can be given in a day rather than with an admission.
Some tests change the plan. Others can wait or are not needed at all. Ask the doctor which is which.
A good estimate comes with a plain list of what might raise it, such as a hospital stay or a change of medicine.
If another hospital has already quoted a plan, ask an oncologist to review it. It may confirm the plan, or show a simpler one.
The expected cost of your agreed plan, given in writing. It is not a fixed bill, and the team tells you what could change it.

Not before a consultation, because the cost depends on the type of cancer, its stage, the treatment chosen and any hospital stay. Once the oncologist and the tumour board have agreed a plan, you receive a written estimate for it. Nothing starts until the family has seen that estimate and agreed.
Medical oncologist Dr. C. Raghavendra Reddy sees patients at CION Kukatpally. He plans chemotherapy and other cancer medicines and reviews cases at the tumour board with CION's surgical and radiation oncologists. Call ahead to check he is in on the day you want to come.
The CION Kukatpally address is inside OMNI Hospitals on the Mumbai Highway, opposite Big Bazaar in Balaji Nagar. Consultations and day-care chemotherapy are given by the CION team at this centre. The care team tells you where any other part of your treatment would take place.
Yes. CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring the insurance card, the policy papers and the patient's ID. The team tells you what the insurer needs and helps you send it.
It may. Tell the care team about the scheme when you call and bring the card. They will check what it may cover for the treatment in your plan and tell you plainly. Only the scheme can confirm cover, so we do not promise it in advance.
Usually not. Chemotherapy at CION Kukatpally is mostly day-care, and the patient goes home the same evening. If a particular medicine needs a hospital stay, the oncologist tells you in advance and the stay is included in the estimate.
The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is a short walk from Kukatpally Metro and near the Balaji Nagar bus stop. Call the helpline before you come so the doctor you need is there and your visit is not wasted.
Not at CION Kukatpally. Your CION doctors plan it, and the care team names the centre that does it. You are told where it is and given its estimate before you agree, so the whole cost of the plan is clear from the start.
