Start with a Consultation
Ask for the doctor you want, or we’ll match you.
What does CION Tolichowki do on site, and what is arranged elsewhere?
Consultations and chemotherapy are given at CION Tolichowki. 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.
1Day-care chemotherapy
Most chemotherapy is given as day-care. Blood counts are checked, the medicine is given, and the patient goes home that evening. There is no overnight ward bill. Some medicines do need a stay, and the oncologist tells you in advance if yours is one of them.
2Insurance and schemes
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.
3The whole plan, priced at once
Many cancers need more than one kind of treatment. When the tumour board plans all of it at the start, the family sees every part of the cost before the first dose. You are not caught out by a second large bill for an operation or radiotherapy later in the course.
4Newer is not always needed
Targeted and immune medicines can cost far more than older chemotherapy. For some cancers they make a real difference. For others, the older medicine works as well. Dr. Owais Mohammed can tell you which applies to you, and why.
5Finding the centre
CION Cancer Clinics, 12-2-718, Khader Bagh Road, inside Premier Hospital, Padmanabha Nagar, Toli Chowki, Hyderabad 500008. It is near the Tolichowki bus stop. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Good to know
This page cannot tell you what your treatment will cost. Your reports and a consultation can.
How can your family keep cancer costs down from the very first visit?
Small habits, kept up through the whole course, add up to a real difference in the total.
Keep one folder
Every report, scan CD and bill in one place. Bring it to every visit so nothing is repeated for want of a paper.
Raise cost early
Tell the oncologist at the first visit if money is tight. It helps them plan the order of tests and keep more treatment in day-care.
Mention every policy
Insurance, an employer scheme, a government card. Tell the care team about all of them on the first call.
Ask about choices
Where more than one reasonable treatment exists, ask what each would add, and what each would cost.
A useful question
- Is the newer medicine needed for my cancer?
Check a quote
If another hospital has given you a plan and a figure, ask for a second opinion before you commit to it.
What do Tolichowki families tend to get wrong about cancer costs?
Myth
"Private cancer care is never possible for families like ours."
What is true: Many families decide this before seeing any estimate. Insurance, a scheme the family already holds and day-care treatment can change the figure a great deal. Ask for the written estimate first.
Myth
"The patient will need to stay in hospital for every cycle."
What is true: Most chemotherapy is day-care. The patient goes home the same evening. The oncologist tells you in advance if a stay is needed.
Myth
"A second opinion only adds another bill."
What is true: It is a small cost next to a full course of treatment, and it can show whether a simpler plan would do.
Myth
"We should not trouble the doctor with money."
What is true: Cost is part of the plan. Stopping halfway for lack of money is far harder on the patient than an honest talk at the start.

Tolichowki families' questions about treatment costs
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1What will my mother's cancer treatment cost at Tolichowki?
That depends on her type of cancer, its stage, the treatment chosen and whether she needs a hospital stay. After the consultation and the tumour board, you receive a written estimate for her plan before anything starts. Bring every report so nothing is repeated without need.
2Which oncologist sees patients at CION Tolichowki?
Medical oncologist Dr. Owais Mohammed sees patients at CION Tolichowki. 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.
3Is chemotherapy given at the Tolichowki centre?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION Tolichowki, mostly as day-care, so most patients go home the same evening and there is no ward bill. If a medicine needs a stay, the oncologist tells you in advance and it is included in the estimate.
4Do you help with insurance paperwork?
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.
5Can a government health card or employer scheme be used?
Tell the care team about it 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 will not promise it before it does.
6Where exactly is the centre?
At 12-2-718, Khader Bagh Road, inside Premier Hospital, Padmanabha Nagar, Toli Chowki, near the Tolichowki 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.
7Where would an operation or radiotherapy happen?
Neither is done at CION Tolichowki. 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 known early.
8Can I come with the reports before bringing the patient?
Yes. Many families start with a talk about the reports and the likely costs, especially when the patient is unwell. The oncologist will still need to see the patient before treatment is planned, but a great deal can be explained to you first.
