Yes — Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a fully covered procedure under CGHS at notified package rates.
CGHS Rule: You must be referred by your Wellness Centre CMO and pre-authorisation must be obtained for planned (non-emergency) hip replacement surgery. For fracture hip admitted as emergency — pre-auth is not required but 24-hour intimation to CGHS must be sent (Gini handles this).
Rates as per CGHS Chandigarh zone notified rates. Your ward entitlement determines the package applicable to you.
Implant upgrade to premium bearing surface is available — patient pays the difference between the standard CGHS entitlement and the premium implant cost. Speak with Gini's CGHS desk on 0172-4120100 for current implant upgrade pricing.
Metal-on-polyethylene bearing surface is fully covered within the CGHS package rate for all ward entitlement categories. Durable, proven, and appropriate for most patients.
Semi-private and private ward patients can upgrade to ceramic-on-ceramic or ceramic-on-polyethylene by paying the difference. Approximate differential: ₹30,000–60,000 depending on implant brand and type.
CGHS does not cover revision implants at premium rates unless clinically justified.
Dr. Harjoban Singh personally counsels every patient on the implant decision before surgery. He explains the clinical difference between bearing surfaces, longevity data, and cost implications — helping you make the right decision for your activity level and budget.
Credentialed by FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence — the highest standard for musculoskeletal surgery worldwide. The same expertise that manages professional athletes is applied to every CGHS patient at Gini.
Trained at the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh — one of the UK's leading centres for hip and knee arthroplasty. Dr. Harjoban Singh brings international precision to CGHS patients in Mohali, Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh.
Dr. Harjoban Singh uses robo-navigation for implant placement — resulting in zero recorded revision surgeries in hip replacement cases at Gini Hospital. Optimal implant positioning reduces wear and extends prosthesis life.
Special expertise in avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip — common in patients on long-term steroids (including many CGHS patients with autoimmune disease or transplants). Bilateral AVN cases managed expertly.
Once CGHS pre-auth is approved, surgery slots are available within 2–3 weeks. CGHS OPD consultations with Dr. Harjoban Singh: Monday to Saturday. Call 0172-4120100 to schedule.
Both hips can be replaced under CGHS. Dr. Harjoban Singh coordinates bilateral cases — typically staged 3–6 months apart with Gini managing both pre-authorisations simultaneously for CGHS Chandigarh, CGHS Amritsar, CGHS Jalandhar, and other zone beneficiaries.
Gini's CGHS desk handles the paperwork. You focus on your health.
Visit your CGHS Wellness Centre with your X-ray of the hip (AP and lateral views). The CMO will perform an orthopaedic assessment and arrive at a diagnosis — hip joint degeneration (osteoarthritis), avascular necrosis (AVN), or fracture neck of femur. Call Gini's desk at 0172-4120100 before your Wellness Centre visit — we'll tell you exactly what reports to bring.
The CMO issues a referral letter to Gini Advanced Care Hospital, Sector 69, Mohali for hip replacement surgery. The letter specifies diagnosis, recommended procedure (THR), and names the hospital. Keep the original — you'll need it for pre-auth and on admission day.
Call 0172-4120100. Our CGHS team prepares your complete pre-auth file:
Gini submits the pre-auth file to the Additional Director CGHS Chandigarh (O/o Additional Director CGHS, Kendriya Sadan, Sector 9-A, Chandigarh · 0172-2740716). Hip replacement pre-auth is typically processed in 48–72 hours — faster than knee replacement pre-auth — when the file is complete and correctly submitted.
On receiving pre-auth approval from CGHS, Gini calls you to confirm your surgery date. Slots are available within 2–3 weeks of approval. Pre-op investigations (blood tests, ECG, anaesthesia fitness) can be completed at Gini on a pre-admission visit.
Arrive with:
Surgery is typically performed on the admission day or the next day. Fully cashless from admission to discharge — Gini files the CGHS claim directly.
Both hips can be replaced under CGHS — but each hip requires a separate pre-authorisation application. The two surgeries are typically staged 3–6 months apart to allow full recovery between procedures.
Two separate referrals, two separate pre-auth applications. CGHS covers both at package rates. Gini submits both applications simultaneously when needed.
Standard recommendation for bilateral hip replacement. Gini coordinates both procedures and both CGHS claims.
Each hip is covered at the full CGHS package rate — you don't pay double out-of-pocket for bilateral cases covered within the CGHS scheme.
Your ward entitlement affects both your room type and your implant entitlement. Bring your latest PPO or pay slip to confirm.
Pensioners' entitlement is based on the last drawn pay (as per PPO). You cannot be asked to accept a lower ward category than your entitlement. Gini has general, semi-private, and private ward options available.
Tick off each item before you leave for Gini on your admission day.
Our CGHS desk handles referral coordination, pre-authorisation filing (48–72 hr turnaround), ward registration, and cashless billing. Dr. Harjoban Singh — FIFA-approved, Scotland-trained — is available Mon–Sat. Call before your Wellness Centre visit for best results.
