Companies like these typically arrange the full spectrum of a medical trip abroad, connecting you to health providers/hospitals, making logistical arrangements for your medical care, travel, stay and often providing a single, lump-sum total for the entire package. Such service providers often have established working relationships with a set number of provider covering a range of medical procedures.

 All parties traveling should have valid passports with sufficient validity. Depending on your destination country, you may or may not be able to secure a Tourist Visa upon arrival at the airport. Be sure to determine ahead of time whether that is the case, or whether you need to arrange for a visa ahead of time with a representative Embassy.  

Step7: Organize records, patient history and other paperwork

Firstly, collate medical history, reports, prescriptions and other relevant documents at your end. Plan for how you are going to transfer or carry your medical records to you overseas medical provider, as well as for bringing records of your procedure home with you. In particular, you will need to decide whether to carry paper versions of your records with you or have them digitized and transferred electronically. 

Step 8: Plan for post-procedure recovery

The optimistic approach would be to hope is that all will go according to plan and schedule. Yet, even while anticipating a smooth procedure, one must still be diligent about planning for the recovery period. Likewise, for the sake of prudence and caution, one should anticipate possible complications and make arrangements ahead-of-time. Some things to consider: How much recovery time will your procedure entail? If you will be hospitalized, for how long? Standards of legal protection for patients vary dramatically from country to country. Once you have chosen a provider, do your best to educate yourself about what legal protections, if any, are guaranteed to you as a visiting patient. Consult with a country embassy or consular office before leaving, and use the web to research patient protection laws.
