Cost transparency
A heart stent procedure, or coronary stent placement (PCI), opens a narrowed heart artery through a catheter and then places a small stent to keep the artery open. The cost of a heart stent cannot be generalized, because every blockage is different: how many there are, where they are, and how complex they are.
Class I RoomValid from October 1, 2026
The estimates above are for a Class I room. Other room classes are adjusted accordingly. Valid from the date shown above and subject to change. An estimate is not a final bill.
The more narrowings that need to be opened, the more stents and devices are used.
Drug-eluting stents are generally used; the doctor chooses the type and size based on your condition.
Heavy calcification, a long-standing total occlusion, a branching point, or the left main artery may require additional devices.
A procedure during a heart attack is done as quickly as possible and usually needs more intensive care afterward.
The number of days in hospital, the room class you choose, and whether intensive care is needed.
For example kidney problems or diabetes, which may need additional preparation and monitoring during your stay.
Your previous test results can be reviewed by the doctor, so not every test needs to be repeated from the start.
Ask about the following items when you receive an estimate, at any hospital:
Tests such as a cardiac CT or treadmill test give an initial picture. But the number of stents, their size, and the devices needed only become clear when the heart arteries are examined directly with angiography. That is why a good estimate always explains several possibilities: no stent needed, one stent needed, or more.
Getting a stent is not the end of treatment. After going home, patients usually need to take blood thinners for several months to a year or longer as directed by the doctor, attend regular check-ups, and are encouraged to join cardiac rehabilitation. Include these items in your family's financial plan.
Payment
For planned procedures, our team helps confirm how you will pay from the start, so you and your family know which part is covered and which part you need to prepare yourselves.
You pay the hospital directly. Before the procedure, the admission team explains the estimate, deposit terms, and available payment methods.
Payment can be made in cash, by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer, and credit card installments follow the terms of the issuing bank.
Heartology works with various insurance companies and claims administrators. There are two ways your coverage can work:
Being listed as a partner does not necessarily mean every policy can be cashless. The final outcome depends on your policy type and the insurer's approval.
If your employer already works with Heartology, prepare a guarantee letter or cover letter from HR. Our team helps confirm the coverage before the procedure.
Heartology does not work with BPJS Kesehatan, so procedures at Heartology cannot be covered by BPJS, even if you already have a referral letter.
The partner list may change. Partnership status and benefits still need to be checked for your policy.
See insurance partner profilesThe patient or companion sends a photo of the insurance card or employer guarantee letter, the patient's ID, and the doctor's procedure recommendation.
Our team checks the partnership and the benefits of your policy or employer coverage at Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital.
For planned procedures, the hospital requests approval from the insurer or employer before the procedure.
You know the estimated covered amount and the amount you need to prepare yourself before signing the procedure consent form.
In an emergency, medical treatment comes first. Coverage matters are handled while the patient is being treated.
Before you decide
Not every narrowed heart artery needs a stent. The doctor decides based on your symptoms, test results, and overall health. The overview below helps you discuss this with your doctor; it does not replace the doctor's judgment.

Blockage Found, but Why Was No Stent Placed?
Every patient's condition is different. This story is an individual experience and does not guarantee a particular treatment result.
Our doctors can review your angiography and the tests you already have, then explain the options relevant to your condition. The decision stays with you and your family.
Treatment options
All three aim to maintain blood flow to the heart muscle, with different methods and considerations. The right choice depends on the pattern of blockages and your overall condition.
| Aspect | Medication and lifestyle changes | Stent placement (PCI) (Covered on this page) | Bypass surgery (CABG) |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Controls risk factors, reduces symptoms, and slows plaque progression | Opens the narrowing from inside the artery with a balloon, then places a stent, through a catheter | Creates a new route around the blockage using a blood vessel from another part of the body |
| Anesthesia | Not needed | Local anesthesia; patients usually stay awake | General anesthesia |
| Wound | None | A small puncture at the wrist or groin | An incision in the chest |
| Hospital stay (planned cases, usually) | Not needed | Short, about 1 to 2 days | Longer, about a week or more |
| Return to light activity (usually) | No recovery period | A few days to about a week | Gradually over several weeks to about 2 to 3 months |
| Usually considered for | Stable coronary heart disease with controlled symptoms | Blockages in one or several arteries suitable for a stent, and acute heart attack | Blockages in many arteries or a complex left main, especially with diabetes or reduced heart function |
| Long-term medication needed? | Yes | Yes, including blood thinners | Yes |
These three options do not always replace one another. Patients who have had a stent or bypass still need long-term medication and risk factor control.

Bypass surgery cost detailsProcedure
A cardiologist reviews your symptoms, medical history, and the test results you already have. An ECG, echocardiography, lab tests, a treadmill test, or a cardiac CT is done only if needed.
A small catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin. Using contrast dye and X-rays, the doctor sees the location, number, and severity of the narrowings.
If a narrowing needs treatment, the stent can be placed in the same session or scheduled later, depending on your condition and consent. Discuss the cost implications before angiography.
Under local anesthesia, while you usually stay awake, a balloon opens the narrowing and the stent is placed. It takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the blockage.
The puncture site is monitored to prevent bleeding, and so is your heart rhythm. For a planned procedure without complications, patients can usually go home within 1 to 2 days.
You go home with a check-up schedule and medication to take regularly, including blood thinners. Do not stop any medication without instructions from your cardiologist.
During a heart attack, the pathway is different. Treatment is given as quickly as possible through the emergency pathway, and administrative matters are handled while the patient is being treated.
Heart Attack Center 1500 258In some cases, doctors use additional tools to make decisions and procedure results more measurable:
For long-standing total occlusions (CTO) and the left main artery, doctors may use special techniques. The use of these tools and techniques is decided by the doctor based on clinical need. Not every patient needs them, and using them may add to the cost.
Benefits and limits
A stent opens the narrowing being treated, but it does not cure coronary heart disease. Narrowing can return in the stented area or appear in other arteries, especially if risk factors are not controlled, and long-term medication is still needed. Not every blockage is suitable for a stent; some are better managed with medication or bypass. The estimate on this page is not a final bill, because the final cost is determined after angiography and the procedure.
Risks
Like any medical procedure, this one carries risks. How large they are differs from person to person, and your doctor will explain them specifically before you sign the consent form.
Ask your doctor: what are my personal risk factors, for example kidney function, diabetes, or age, and what is done to reduce them?
Preparation
Complete preparation helps the doctor assess your condition faster and helps our team prepare a more accurate estimate. Not complete yet? You can still start; our Heart Consultant will guide you.
For the security of your data, medical files are not uploaded through the form on this page. Our Heart Consultant will guide you in sending documents through a secure official channel.
Recovery
A stent opens one narrowing, but it does not cure coronary heart disease itself. Long-term results are strongly influenced by what you do after going home.
Keep the puncture site clean and dry. Avoid heavy loads on the arm or leg on the puncture side, as directed by the medical team.
Two blood thinners are usually taken for up to a year, then adjusted by the doctor. Do not stop them on your own, including before surgery or a tooth extraction.
Returning to work, driving, and exercise happens gradually as directed by the doctor, because the safe timing differs for each patient and condition.
A program of physical exercise and education monitored by the medical team when recommended, to support recovery and lower the risk of repeat heart events.
Attend check-ups as scheduled. Control your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and stop smoking to help maintain long-term results.

Patient stories
Hearing about other patients' experiences often helps families picture the process more calmly.
Every patient's condition is different. This story is an individual experience and does not guarantee a particular treatment result.
Common questions
The answers below are general, while the cost details and whether a stent suits your condition are confirmed during your consultation.
For a planned procedure with 1 stent, the cost range at Heartology is IDR 85,000,000 to IDR 120,000,000 for a Class I room, valid from October 1, 2026. The final cost depends on the angiography results, the number of stents, the complexity of the blockage, the room class, and the length of stay.
No. Heartology does not work with BPJS Kesehatan, so procedures at Heartology cannot be covered by BPJS. Patients can have the procedure as self-pay, with partner private insurance, or with employer coverage. If you want to use BPJS, stent placement can be done at a BPJS partner hospital through a referral from your primary care facility.
Yes. The estimate for the 1-stent scenario already includes coronary angiography. If the angiography shows that a stent is not needed, the angiography-only estimate applies.
Because the number of stents, their size, and the supporting devices needed only become clear after the heart arteries are examined directly. Tests such as a cardiac CT or treadmill test give an initial picture, but the final decision about a stent is made from the angiography results.
The cost will increase with the number of stents and devices used. Before angiography, ask your doctor how decisions are made if more narrowings are found than expected, including whether you or your family will be asked for additional consent. The estimate for each additional stent: IDR 25,000,000.
You pay for the angiography and the care you have received, but not for a stent that was not placed. A "no stent needed" result is also valuable information: your condition can be managed in another, more suitable way. The estimated cost of angiography without a stent: IDR 18,000,000.
We do not show the price of a stent as a device separately, because a stent cannot be used without the procedure, the catheterization lab, the medical team, and care. The doctor chooses the type and size of stent based on the condition of your arteries. For planning, what matters is the total cost of the procedure.
Not necessarily. Cashless status depends on your policy type, your benefits, and the insurer's approval. For a planned procedure, our team can help submit a pre-authorization request before the procedure, so you know in advance how much is covered and how much of the difference you may need to pay yourself.
Costs above your policy benefits are your personal responsibility. If you have more than one private insurance policy, the benefits may be coordinated according to the terms of each policy. Ask for an estimate of the difference before the procedure so there are no surprises when you go home.
It depends on the policy terms. Send us your policy information, and our team will help check it with your insurer or your company's HR before the procedure.
Yes, if your company works with Heartology. Prepare a guarantee letter or cover letter from HR, and our team will help confirm the coverage before the procedure.
Payment can be made in cash, by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer, and credit card installments follow the terms of the issuing bank.
It is not open surgery. The stent is placed through a catheter inserted via a blood vessel in the wrist or groin, under local anesthesia. So the term "heart stent surgery cost" that people often search for actually refers to the cost of a catheterization procedure, not surgery.
For a planned procedure without complications, patients usually stay about 1 to 2 days. After a heart attack or with other conditions, the stay can be longer, which also affects the cost.
Yes, and it is reasonable for a planned procedure. Our doctors can review your angiography or the tests you already have, and the decision stays with you. The exception: if you are having a heart attack, do not delay treatment to seek a second opinion.
Do not wait and do not compare costs first. Call Heart Attack Center 1500 258 right away or go to the nearest emergency department. This page is not an emergency service.
