Consultation Cost & What the Fee Covers
The consultation fee with Dr. S.P. Singh is NPR 800 (~$6 USD at typical exchange rates). That fee covers the full consultation, the examination, a written treatment plan, and the stamped English medical report valid for insurance claims — plus a 7-day WhatsApp follow-up window.
What the fee does not include: laboratory tests, imaging, medications, and consumables — each is itemized separately and quoted before it is performed, so the receipt never carries a surprise line item. Testing at Chest Clinic of Kathmandu & Allergy Center is arranged through the network and quoted before the order is placed.
- Self-pay vs. insurance: paying out-of-pocket keeps the visit simple — the stamped documentation is still provided in case you claim reimbursement later.
- Direct billing (GOP): with insurer pre-authorization, covered services can bill directly to the insurer — call the assistance line early for faster approval.
- Value: a specialist consult at NPR 800 runs a fraction of the equivalent visit in the US/UK — with the same documentation standard insurers expect.
Paying in your currency: the fee is charged in NPR and settles at your card's exchange rate — roughly ~$6 USD. Cash, Visa/Mastercard/Amex, eSewa, and Fonepay are all accepted, and the receipt itemizes NPR and USD so reimbursement claims carry no exchange-rate argument.
The cost of waiting: the visit that is skipped to save NPR 800 is the visit that turns a treatable early problem into the imaging, admission, or evacuation bill that dwarfs it — early review is almost always the cheapest version of the same problem.
What a Consultation With Dr. Looks Like
- History first. The visit opens with your timeline — when symptoms started, what changed, what you have already tried, and what you are worried it might be. Honest answers move the visit faster than guarded ones.
- Targeted examination. Only what the problem needs — no ritual exam, no padding. The exam is calibrated to the differential, not the clock.
- Testing when indicated. Testing arranged through the clinic network with results routed back for interpretation.
- A written plan. You leave with a diagnosis or a firm rule-out, a treatment plan with generic drug names, and a stamped English medical report valid for insurance claims and home-country follow-up.
How to Prepare for Your Visit
- Bring your passport (or a clear photo of it) — needed for the medical report and insurance documentation.
- Bring your medication list and any relevant old reports — photos of labels and documents count.
- Have your insurer's 24/7 assistance number handy if you expect to claim — GOP authorization is faster when the line is called early.
- Know your travel dates — departure and trek plans change what gets prioritized in the visit.
- Write down the timeline in your notes app if it is complicated — a messy-but-honest history beats a forgotten detail.
Follow-Up and Referrals
- WhatsApp check-in: a 7-day follow-up window is included — message the clinic line with changes or questions instead of rebooking for something answerable remotely.
- Specialist referral: if the problem needs a specialist or hospital-level care, Dr. writes the referral and your records transfer with it — the receiving physician reads the findings rather than starting over.
- Continuity after Nepal: the stamped ICD-10 report and generic-name prescriptions are designed so your home doctor can pick up exactly where the Kathmandu visit left off.
- Recurrence: if the same problem returns after an apparent recovery, come back — a repeat episode is new clinical information, not a failed visit.
