16
Procedures set out in full, with the caveats printed beside them
12 mths
Follow-up plan arranged before you fly home

UK coordinator, for the whole journey
Why Sevanta
Six things we commit to before you book anything
None of these is a claim about outcomes. They are commitments about process — the part we actually control.
01
Accredited hospitals only
Every partner hospital holds current NABH or JCI accreditation. We publish the certificate number, and we re-check that it is still valid at least once a year.
02
You meet the surgeon first
A video consultation with the named consultant who would operate, before you commit to anything beyond a coordination fee.
03
One itemised price
Surgery, implant, hospital stay, drugs and transfers on one document — alongside what is deliberately excluded from it.
04
A UK point of contact
One coordinator, in UK hours, from the first call through to the twelve-month follow-up. Not a rota, not a ticket queue.
05
Aftercare arranged at home
UK physiotherapy and GP correspondence organised before you fly out, so recovery is not something you sort out on landing.
06
Plainly stated limits
The CQC does not regulate care in India and the GMC has no jurisdiction over India-based surgeons. We put that in writing rather than leave it to inference.
Specialty 01
Orthopaedics — hips, knees, shoulders and ligaments
4 procedures
The largest of the four, and the one where UK waiting lists bite hardest. Operations are carried out by consultant orthopaedic surgeons at accredited private hospitals, with daily inpatient physiotherapy before you are cleared to fly.
- Knee replacement image
Knee replacement
Total or partial knee arthroplasty. Partial is only offered where imaging supports it, not on request.

Specialty 02
Cosmetic surgery — with a cooling-off period built in
4 procedures
Every cosmetic enquiry carries a two-week reflection period between the surgeon consultation and any booking. We run no promotions, no time-limited offers, and we do not quote a price before a surgeon has reviewed your case.
- Rhinoplasty image
Rhinoplasty
Functional or aesthetic, assessed together. Swelling continues to settle for up to a year after surgery.

Specialty 03
Dental — implants, veneers and full-mouth work
4 procedures
Usually two visits: preparation and fitting, with a healing interval at home in between. Both trips are planned at the outset, so the second one is not booked under pressure or at short notice.
- Dental implants image
Dental implants
Per implant, including abutment and crown. Bone grafting, if required, is quoted separately and named.

Specialty 04
Fertility and IVF
4 procedures
Cycle timing drives everything, so fertility journeys are planned backwards from the transfer date. UK-side monitoring is arranged before you travel wherever your own clinic or GP will support it.
- IVF image
IVF
Per fresh cycle, including monitoring, egg collection and one transfer. Medication is quoted separately.

Prices
What the same operation costs, side by side
The shape of the comparison, with the figures still to come. A price without a second column for what it does not cover is how people discover abroad that the quote never included the implant — so the second column is here from the start.
| Treatment | UK private self-pay | Typical wait, UK | Through Sevanta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip replacement | TBU | 12–18 months NHS | TBU |
| Knee replacement | TBU | 12–18 months NHS | TBU |
| Dental implants (per implant) | TBU | Not NHS-funded | TBU |
| IVF cycle | TBU | Varies by ICB | TBU |
Included in these prices
- Consultant surgeon, anaesthetist and theatre fees
- Implant or prosthesis as specified in your quotation
- Inpatient stay, medication and daily physiotherapy where indicated
- Airport transfers, hospital admission and discharge coordination
Not included
- Flights, visa fees and travel insurance, which you arrange yourself
- Accommodation before admission and after discharge
- Treatment for complications outside the hospital’s own package terms
- Medication taken home, and UK aftercare beyond the arranged plan
Every figure here reads TBU because none has a source behind it yet, and we would rather show you that than a number we invented. When they are published: the UK column will cite named private-provider self-pay list prices, and the Sevanta column the partner hospital’s own written quotation. Both will be indicative and neither will be a quotation — your own price depends on the treatment plan the surgeon sets after reviewing your records.
Clinicians
Who you will actually meet, and who registers them
Every profile names the body that registers that clinician. A UK reader seeing a bare registration number reasonably infers a UK regulator, and for India-based surgeons that inference is false.
