Day-care chairs
Chemotherapy is mostly given in a day-care chair while nurses watch over the patient, who then goes home the same day. There is no ward bill for the night.

How do you reach a clear, written cost at Masab Tank?
- 1
Call the helpline
Say what has been found and which hospital found it. Mention any insurance or scheme the family holds. The care team books a time with Dr. Owais Mohammed.
- 2
Bring everything
Biopsy reports, scan CDs, blood tests, discharge summaries and insurance or scheme cards. Recent, clear tests usually do not need to be paid for again.
- 3
See the doctor, then the board
The oncologist orders only the tests that would change the plan. The tumour board then agrees one plan for the whole course.
- 4
Take the estimate home
You receive the expected cost in writing, with help on any cashless claim, and decide as a family before anything starts.
How does the Masab Tank team help families with the money side?
None of these changes the price of a medicine. They keep the family from paying for things that add nothing to the care.
Cashless insurance
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring the card and the policy papers.
A check on your scheme
If the family holds a government or employer scheme, the care team checks what it may cover. They tell you plainly and do not promise cover the scheme has not confirmed.
Honest choices
Where more than one reasonable treatment exists, the oncologist explains each, including what it would add and what it would cost.
Worth asking
- Is the newer medicine needed here?
- Which tests can wait?
A second look at a quote
If another hospital has already given you a plan and a figure, an oncologist here can review it and say whether a simpler option exists.

What do the words on a cancer bill actually mean?
Written estimate
The expected cost of your agreed plan, on paper, before treatment. It is not a fixed bill, and the team tells you what could change it.
Cashless
The insurer pays the centre directly for what the policy covers, and the family pays the rest.
Day-care
Treatment given during the day, with the patient home by evening.
Tumour board
Medical, surgical and radiation oncologists reviewing your case together and agreeing one plan.
Second opinion
Another oncologist's review of a plan you were given elsewhere, before you commit to it.
What can be done at CION Masab Tank, and what is arranged elsewhere?
Consultations and chemotherapy are given at CION Masab Tank. An operation and radiotherapy are not. Your CION doctors plan them, and the care team names the centre that gives them and shares its estimate before you agree.
1The whole plan, priced together
Because the tumour board plans every part of the treatment at the start, the family can see the full cost picture early. When chemotherapy will be followed by an operation or radiotherapy, you know that before the first dose, not halfway through.
2If the estimate is more than you can manage
Say so before treatment starts. Sometimes another reasonable treatment exists, more of it can be given as day-care, or insurance can carry more of the cost. An honest talk at the start is far better than stopping treatment halfway.
3Finding the centre
CION Cancer Clinics, 10-1-1, Utkoor - Mogdumpur Road, AC Guards, Lakdikapul, Hyderabad 500028. It is close to Lakdikapul Metro and near the Masab Tank bus stop. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
4Who finds it nearest
Families from Lakdikapul, Khairatabad, Basheer Bagh, Nampally, Himayat Nagar and Mehdipatnam often find Masab Tank the easiest centre to reach. That matters, because treatment can mean many visits, and a short trip costs less each time.
Good to know
This page cannot tell you what your treatment will cost. A consultation with your reports can.
Which money myths keep Masab Tank families from asking for help?
Myth
"Asking the doctor about cost will seem rude."
What is true: It is one of the most useful questions you can ask. A doctor who knows the family's limits can plan the order of tests with care and keep more treatment in day-care.
Myth
"Our policy is old, so it will not help."
What is true: Older policies often still cover parts of cancer treatment. Let the care team check it against your plan before you decide.
Myth
"Chemotherapy needs days in hospital."
What is true: At this centre chemotherapy is mostly given in a day-care chair. The patient goes home the same day. Your oncologist tells you in advance if a stay is needed.
Myth
"It is better to wait and save before starting."
What is true: Cancer that is left can grow and need more treatment for longer, which usually costs more. A first consultation tells you where you stand.

Questions about the cost of cancer care at Masab Tank
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1How much will treatment at CION Masab Tank cost?
It depends on the type of cancer, its stage, the treatment chosen and whether a hospital stay is needed. That is why no figure appears here. After the consultation and the tumour board, you receive a written estimate for your own plan, before treatment starts, and help with any cashless claim.
2Which doctor sees patients at Masab Tank?
Medical oncologist Dr. Owais Mohammed sees patients at CION Masab Tank. He plans chemotherapy and other cancer medicines and reviews cases at the tumour board with CION's surgical and radiation oncologists. Call ahead so he is in on the day you plan to come.
3What is day-care chemotherapy like here?
You get your medicine in a day-care chair while nurses watch over you, then go home the same day. Blood counts are checked first. Because there is no overnight stay, there is no ward bill. If your medicine needs a stay, you are told in advance.
4Can we use our health insurance?
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 to the first visit. The team tells you what the insurer needs and helps you send it.
5Does a government or employer scheme help?
It may. Tell the care team about the scheme when you call and bring the card or letter. They will check what it may cover for the treatment in your plan and tell you honestly. Only the scheme itself can confirm cover, so we do not promise it.
6Where is the Masab Tank centre?
At 10-1-1, Utkoor - Mogdumpur Road, AC Guards, Lakdikapul, close to Lakdikapul Metro and near the Masab Tank bus stop. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Call before you set out so the doctor you need is there.
7Would surgery or radiotherapy add a separate bill?
Neither is done at Masab Tank. If your plan includes one, 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 is clear early.
8We have reports from a government hospital. Should we bring them?
Yes, every one, including scan CDs and old discharge summaries. Recent, clear results often do not need to be repeated. The oncologist orders a new test only if the old one is unclear, out of date or would change the plan.
