Cancellation rules and charges

Why cancellation charges for hair transplant surgery : – When a hair transplant date is booked for you , you are reserving 6 – 10 hrs of Operation theater , doctors and staff time . Your reserved date and time is not offered to any other patient . So if you cancel it suddenly then this date and time slot reserved by you may not get booked by some other patient . As clinic provides this days surgery to doctor and employees and pays fixed expenses like rent etc so clinic losses money if you cancel a date reserved by you .

Why not fixed charges for cancellation of surgery : – if patients cancels 1000 grafts hair transplant procedure , then it is just 3 hrs of clinic time loss if he cancels surgery . IF patient books for 2500 grafts then clinic may lose 7 – 8 hrs OT time . So we calculated the cancellation charges according to package cost instead of fixed cancellation charges. Further if you cancel your procedure 20 days prior to your booked date , clinic has high chances that it will get a second patient for that date by giving him some discount and offers . If you cancel it 3 days prior to HT date then chances of booking that date by some other patient is less so cancellation charges are more

Charges of International patients –

Rules and charges are same as indian patients but refund of money after deducting cancellation charges is not available if any international credit card or international bank transfer. International patients can be refunded by Cash , western union and moneygram . International patient can book through any indian bank account ( self or any relative or friends indian bank account )  to get refund of advance money like indian patient .  If you are not willing to use cash , western union or moneygram to get a refund then A credit note is issued to international patients which can be utilized by them or their family member or friends within 3 years for any service at AKESO hair transplant.
