What to confirm in writing before traveling
All-in cost (surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implants/disposables, hospital stay, follow-up), travel companion accommodations, complication-management responsibility, and refund/cancellation policy.
Established international patient programs commonly provide each of the items above. Patients should request these in writing and verify independently before booking travel.
