Day-care hospitals · Healthcare
Be the day-care hospital a patient books for a planned procedure and is home by evening.
A retired bank manager in Jayanagar has been told by the surgeon that a hernia can be repaired as a day case. The son opens a laptop that evening and searches for the procedure with the word day care.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A day-care hospital performs planned procedures and treatments for which the patient is admitted, treated and discharged on the same day, such as cataract surgery, endoscopy, dialysis, chemotherapy infusion or minor surgery. Patients choose on the surgeon, the cost and whether insurance pays. GullySales prepares the procedure pages, the cashless enquiry route and the pre-procedure messages.
Three things must be answered before the call: whether the hospital is on the father's insurer's cashless list, which surgeon will operate, and whether the father will really be home by evening. Day-care work is planned, and some of it repeats. A dialysis patient comes three times a week, a chemotherapy patient every three weeks, an endoscopy patient once. A hospital that treats the first visit as a scheduling problem, with the insurance desk, the pre-procedure instructions and the discharge call sorted out, is easier for a visiting surgeon to rely on when the list for the next day is being made.
Last updated 18 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
How buyers decide
How day-care hospitals are chosen.
The decision starts with a doctor. A physician or surgeon says the procedure can be done as a day case, and names a hospital or lets the family choose. Families then check the cost, whether a package price exists, and whether the insurance company or TPA will approve cashless admission for a stay of a few hours. Policy terms on day-care procedures differ, so the insurance desk's answer decides the booking.
Surgeons choose a day-care hospital differently. A consultant who operates in several places picks the one with a dependable operation theatre slot, an anaesthetist who arrives on time, a recovery area that turns over quickly and a billing team that does not hold the patient at the desk. A surgeon who has waited on the billing desk once remembers it when choosing the next list.
Families look for parking, a clean waiting area, a nurse who calls the day before to explain fasting instructions, and a discharge that does not take three hours. Rules on what a hospital may say about procedures and outcomes differ by state and body and change, so check each line with your own adviser.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for day-care hospitals.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Families cannot tell from our website that we do day care at all”
The site lists departments and beds. A son searching for a day-care procedure finds a general hospital page and moves on.
“The insurance question is answered after the patient has called three hospitals”
Nobody on the website says which insurers and TPAs we are empanelled with, so the family phones, waits and then chooses the one that replied first.
“Our theatre is full on some days and empty on others”
Surgeons book by habit, so some days have a queue for the theatre and others have a gap, and the cost of keeping it ready is the same on both.
“Patients cancel on the morning of the procedure”
They were not told clearly about fasting or medicines, or the insurance approval did not come, and the slot goes unused.
“Visiting surgeons bring their patients and take them away”
A consultant who operates with us has patients who know the surgeon's name and not ours, so the relationship belongs to the doctor.
“Package prices confuse the desk and the family”
The quoted price changes once the implant or the room type is chosen, and the review section fills with complaints about the bill.
What we do
What we do for day-care hospitals.
Everything included for day-care hospitals.
A page for each day-care procedure
Hernia, piles, cataract, gallstones, endoscopy, arthroscopy, dialysis or infusion, each with the surgeon, what the day looks like and who to call, written with your doctors in plain words.
An insurance and cashless page
The insurers and TPAs you work with, the documents to carry, how approval is requested and what the desk will tell the family on the phone, checked by your billing head.
A booking route that ends with a date
A phone and WhatsApp number answered by the desk, a short form that asks for the procedure, the surgeon and the insurer, and a reply that gives a theatre date.
Pre-procedure message sequence
Message wording for the day before and the morning of the procedure, covering fasting, medicines, documents and arrival time, written by your nurses and sent with consent.
A surgeon relationship routine
A one-page note on the theatre, recovery and billing arrangements for visiting consultants, and a record of which surgeons book and which have gone quiet.
Package price explanations
A plain page on what a quoted package includes and what changes it, such as implant choice or room type, approved by your finance team.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by procedure and how many became a booked date
- Cashless approvals requested and granted
- Cancellations and no-shows on the day
- Theatre list filled by day of the week
- Bookings by referring surgeon
- Reviews that mention billing, discharge or waiting
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what day-care hospitals most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Procedure and place search campaign
Google Ads on the planned procedures that you do most, aimed at your catchment and sent to the procedure page with the booking form.
Insurance renewal season campaign
Content around the time people review policies, explaining how cashless admission for a stay of a few hours is requested and what a family should ask their insurer before booking.
Surgeon introduction campaign
Profile pages and short introductions for each surgeon who operates with you, with consent, so patients can book by name.
Slow-day list campaign
A targeted message to patients on the waiting list and to referring doctors when a theatre slot opens.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of day-care hospitals, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Family physicians and specialists who refer
A one-page card and visit routine so the doctors who say this can be done as a day case know where to send the patient.
Visiting surgeons and anaesthetists
A consultant who operates in three hospitals keeps the one that gives a firm theatre slot. The note says how slots are booked, how long recovery takes and how the fee is settled, with one name to call.
Insurers' and TPAs' empanelment desks
Your listing and pages kept in step with the insurers and TPAs that have empanelled you, so a family checking the insurer's list finds the same names.
Corporate health and HR teams
A note for the HR desk of a company with group cover, listing the procedures you do and the insurers you work with.
Search for procedure plus place
Pages and a Maps listing that match how a family searches, such as piles surgery day care near your area.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works

You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal

How the work runs for day-care hospitals
- 1
Walk the theatre list with the lead surgeons
We read your requirements brief and talk to the administrator and the lead surgeons about the procedures you do, the theatre schedule and the insurers you work with.
- 2
Look at what patients find
We search for your procedures the way a family does and note what the listing, the pages and the reviews say about cost, insurance and discharge.
- 3
Fix the enquiry route
The booking number, the form, the insurance answer and the pre-procedure messages, each set so an enquiry has a next step towards a date.
- 4
Build procedure and surgeon pages
Pages written with each department and checked by your adviser before they are published.
- 5
Review the list and adjust
We set bookings, cancellations and referring surgeons against the starting record and rework the pages or messages that are not pulling their weight.
Proof

- Lead capture and advertising
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result
