Keep the SMS, app confirmation or screenshot with the doctor name, department, time and patient details.
Carry ID, previous prescriptions, test reports, scans and your insurance details if you plan to use cashless treatment.

Diagnostics, ICU, dialysis and treatment infrastructure
The official Lucknow hospital page states that the facility includes cardiac catheterization laboratory services, ICU, dialysis, advanced radiology, laboratory services and modular operating theatres.
Radiology and laboratory
Advanced radiology and laboratory services are listed for the Lucknow facility. Ask your doctor or booking desk whether your exact test needs prior preparation or an appointment.
Dialysis
Dialysis is specifically listed by the hospital. For a planned dialysis visit, confirm nephrology instructions, previous records and current slot availability.
Critical and surgical care

NABH and NABL information
The current Max Healthcare Lucknow page states that the hospital is NABH accredited and that its laboratories are NABL accredited.
NABH
NABH relates to healthcare accreditation. Accreditation should not be treated as a guarantee of a particular clinical outcome.
NABL
NABL relates to laboratory accreditation. It is separate from hospital-wide NABH accreditation and should not be described as the same credential.
Insurance, TPA and cashless treatment
Max Healthcare says the Lucknow hospital works with medical insurance companies and TPAs. That does not mean every insurer, policy, procedure or room category is automatically cashless.
Before admission
- Give the insurer and exact policy name.
- Ask which TPA processes the claim.
- Confirm that the Lucknow branch is in network.
- Ask whether the planned treatment needs pre-authorisation.
- Check room-rent entitlement and co-payment rules.
Before assuming cashless
- Confirm whether OPD is covered; many policies focus on inpatient care.
- Ask which consumables or non-medical items are excluded.
- Keep insurer card/e-card and government photo ID ready.
- Ask what deposit may still be required pending approval.
- Get the approval status before planned admission where possible.
Admission and planned procedure checklist
For planned admission, ask the hospital for a written estimate and clarify what the quoted amount includes. Package, room, consumables and insurance rules can differ by procedure.
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Room category | Your insurer may limit room eligibility and linked charges. |
| Doctor/procedure estimate | A consultation fee is different from a surgery or procedure package. |
| Deposit | A deposit may be requested even while insurance approval is pending. |
| Diagnostics | Pre-admission blood tests or imaging may be billed separately. |
| Discharge medicines | Take-home medicines may not be part of an inpatient package. |
| Cashless status | Pre-authorisation can be approved, partly approved or queried by the insurer. |
What to carry for your hospital visit
Routine consultation
- Government photo ID.
- Appointment SMS or booking screenshot.

Insurance or planned admission

Planning an outstation visit to Max Hospital Lucknow
If you are travelling from outside Lucknow, confirm the appointment before booking train or flight tickets. A doctor’s online availability can change, and a procedure may require pre-consultation tests before admission.
Send or carry records
Keep major imaging, biopsy reports, previous treatment summaries and recent prescriptions together rather than carrying only a referral note.
Ask about same-day tests
If the doctor may order diagnostics, ask whether tests can be completed the same day or need a separate booking.
Do not pre-book a long stay blindly
For planned surgery, confirm admission date and expected pre-operative workup before committing to extended accommodation.
Consultation fees and treatment cost
There is no single reliable consultation or treatment price that applies to every doctor, department and procedure at the hospital. Charges may vary by consultant, consultation mode, investigation, room category, procedure and insurance status.
Verify the detail that affects your visit
Hospital schedules, doctors, insurer networks and appointment slots can change. Use the relevant official page immediately before acting rather than relying on an old screenshot or third-party directory.
Check the address, 24/7 status, facility overview, major specialties, insurance guidance and current hospital information. Lucknow doctor directory
Check current doctor affiliations, specialties and available in-hospital or video consultation slots. Branch contact directory
Recheck the Lucknow main number, appointment desk, emergency number and ambulance number before an urgent or planned visit.
