This can be very costly and can drain all of your savings. It is better to have a health insurance policy in advance that will provide coverage for the expenses incurred in Hernia surgery. 

However, not all health insurance provides coverage for hernia surgery, so you must read the policy document of any insurance company before purchasing. You must also check the waiting period, coverage, exclusions, premiums, and hospitals for undergoing cashless treatment.
