As the only certified medical company with our own medical team, we can usually provide the first personal telephone contact with a medical advisor in a matter of minutes to a few hours. Our medical staff can draw up an individual medical program in up to 48 hours.
Generally agents require anywhere from 24 hours and up to 7 days for feedback to clients due to a complex and slow medical tourism organizational system. They rely on external clinicians for advice, so they cannot respond quickly. This distinguishes us from medical tourism agencies and establishes a new standard.
If you contact a clinic directly, it may take anywhere between 2 - 8 weeks to receive a response to your treatment request. Many clinics do not offer medical programs without personal, fee-based consultations.
Booking Health is an independent company, not affiliated with any hospital. We provide patients with personalized, statistically based medical care programs and independent recommendations from doctors and hospitals. As a renowned, global company, we provide responsible advice and stand behind our recommendations.
Since medical tourism agencies/healthcare agents rely on external doctors, the doctors who are recommended are often the same ones who provide the services. Consultations are provided by these doctors, which calls into question their independence. Furthermore, clinics' rankings and quality ratings are often not considered.
When a patient visits a clinic directly, they receive a program with no guarantee that the clinic specializes in the necessary treatment. Often, only the treatments offered at that clinic are provided. There is usually no statistical evidence of quality, which may lead to negative treatment outcomes.
The scope of services offered by Booking Health includes the entire cycle of the often complex path patients take when seeking treatment options. The process begins with an initial consultation, followed by document and medical record preparation, program planning, and independent selection of a suitable clinic. Numerous other services are also offered to help optimize the patient's recovery process.
The services provided by most medical tourism agencies/healthcare agents are limited to this service model, which only includes booking treatment and interpreting services.
Typically, additional services, such as follow-up care and further patient consultations, are not offered after discharge from the hospital.
All medical tours from Booking Health are insured. International patients booking medical tours through the Booking Health website do not have to pay additional insurance costs, which comprise up to 50% of the program price.
No insurance. No money return due to unspent cash after the completion of medical care program.
No insurance available. Patients end up having to pay around 55% above the initial treatment quote. If a refund is given after the medical program is completion, it can take from 6 to 9 months to actually receive it.
