1. Request and collect medical records

The first step is to send us Your request for treatment and/or diagnosis. When preparing for a treatment it is important to gather all existing statements from the medical history, test results, images etc. and provide them to our experts in Germany. Despite the fact that our employees speak many languages, it is preferable to send us your medical records translated into German. This will significantly speed up consultations with the treating physicians and, therefore, our answer.

2. Processing of medical documents

Second step: send us your medical documents / records such as: test results, discharge from the hospital with an accurate diagnosis, CT / MRI / PET CT scans if any exists. Our translators speak many languages, but it is preferable if you send documents already translated into German or English it will proceed much faster during all the preparation.

3. A preliminary proposal. Additional services

After reviewing Your medical records we will develop a preliminary cost estimate that will contain the name of the diagnosis and/or treatment and its preliminary cost. Based on this estimate, we will update You with all organizational issues and additional services.

4. The plan of treatment and/or diagnosis. The signing of the contract

After agreeing on the amount of services You sign a contract with us. This agreement will contain medical program (a detailed plan of treatment and/or diagnosis), duration of treatment and the cost of services specified in the preliminary costing. The advance payment can be made by Bank transfer from Your country of residence, and on the spot, after Your arrival in Germany (only in the case if You already have a visa).
