How it Works

Will I be Able to Speak to the Doctor in Asia Before Going on My Trip?

As part of our service, we can help facilitate a phone consultation between you and the doctor prior to your trip abroad as well as an option for your Primary Care Physician to talk to the doctor about pre and post operative procedures and follow-up.

Will I Need Any Travel Documents?

Yes, you will need a passport. We can assist you in obtaining with your Passport application. Click here for more about Passport services

How Do I Prepare for Travel to My Destination?

If you need assistance in booking your travel arrangements, please let us know. When you arrive at your destination, you will be greeted at the airport and chauffeured to your hotel.

What if I Can’t Find the Procedure I Am Interested in on Your Web Site?

We offer an extremely wide range of procedures. If you can't find what you are looking for, please let us know and we will contact our network hospitals and inform you if it is offered.

Can Someone Accompany Me During My Trip?

Absolutely. You can bring any number of family or friends with you. Or, you can choose to come alone, and, if requested, we can arrange for a care-taker to be with you throughout your hospital stay.

Do We Cater for Serious Medical Conditions?

It all depends on individual circumstances and health conditions. If requested, we can arrange for a Registered Nurse to accompany you on your medical journey.

What If Something Goes Wrong?

We can be reached via phone and email and would be available to help in every way possible to make you comfortable. The medical centers we deal with have invested millions of dollars and would not like to have the adverse affect of any negative publicity affecting their business. They take great care to make sure that the patient is satisfied. In the rare event that you experience complications resulting from negligence on the part of the surgeon or hospital, Medical Care International, Inc. will, at its expense, arrange for a return visit to our network hospital for follow-up care, or, at your option, we will reimburse you the entire cost you paid for medical treatment at our network hospital. No other company we know of offers this protection.

Cost is the big reason. Today, forty-seven million Americans are uninsured. The cost of treatment for medical or surgical procedures in the U.S. is often prohibitive and far beyond the average person’s ability to pay for it. Many people who need help put off seeking it because they simply cannot afford it. Many surgical procedures (i.e. heart bypass, joint replacement, spinal disc repair, Lasik eye surgery, Lapband weight reduction surgery) cost 50% to 90% less abroad. Those huge savings can make the cost of even major medical care affordable for anyone forced to pay out of pocket for treatment. That includes:

?	Americans without health insurance;

?	Someone whose insurance has such large deductible and co-pay amounts that out-of-pocket expenses for domestic surgery would exceed the entire cost (medical plus travel) of treatment abroad. The cost differences are so tremendous, that this is often the case;

?	People seeking care (i.e. costly dental work or cosmetic surgery) not covered by insurance;

?	Citizens of countries with national healthcare systems requiring a six- to 12-month wait for non-emergency surgery. That's a long time to wait for someone with a painful condition like a herniated back disc, making the low cost of immediate surgery abroad a compelling option.
