Medical Travel in Three Easy Steps Step

Medical Tourism Step 1: Your Quote and Consult
- 24 hour turnaround on your quote request
Your medical package includes all medical costs including hospital stay

Your Case Management team will collect your personal and family medical history including any necessary lab tests,
diagnostic images, and recent diagnoses. For plastic surgery patients, photos of the surgical area will also be
required. All records are handled with utmost attention to patient data security and confidentiality.

Not all cases require a surgical consultation. However, more complex surgeries,
or patients with health complications, may need multiple contacts with the surgeon
- email, conference call, video conference. Your Case Manager will make the necessary
arrangements at no cost or obligation to you.

A surgery facilitator and travel coordinator will take care of your planning and itinerary needs, and can answer any

Medical Tourism Step 2: Travel Coordination Services
- Approval for surgery
The surgeon will review your completed online medical evaluation, required x-rays
or pictures, and consult with you as needed to approve you for surgery.
- Meet your Medical Tourism Coordinator
After the surgeon has approved your candidacy for surgery you will be contacted
by the Medical Tourism Coordinator to set up your air reservations (if needed), hotel
and discuss any special accommodations you may need.
- Plan your Itinerary
Your bilingual Medical Tourism coordinator will provide you with a detailed itinerary
that includes a complete schedule that includes:
- Any pre-surgery lab work
- Your procedure
- Expected recovery time
- Local transportation arrangements
- Hotel information
- Airline information
- Important contact numbers
- Getting to the hospital
You'll be met at the nearest airport (or for drivers at border) by our comfortable
Hospital Angeles shuttle service and taken to your destination. Angeles Health International
hospitals are located in major metropolitan areas and commercial districts-typically
just a domestic flight away for most medical tourism / medical travel.

Medical Tourism Step 3: After Your Procedure
- Release from the hospital/hotel stay
If your surgeon requires follow-up consultation, you will stay at one of our
specially priced partner hotels until you are approved for travel.

Once you are home, Hospital Angeles International will follow up with you to ensure
your recovery is going as expected, answer any questions and help address any after
care requirements you may have.
We always provide our medical tourism patients with the opportunity to give us feedback on every
element of their medical travel experience, to help us ensure our International
