Questions patients ask
01What does Medsafar charge me?
Nothing for the treatment plan and the cost estimate. You pay the hospital for treatment and the usual costs of travel and stay. Anything Medsafar charges is written down before you agree to it.
02Why is there no price on this page?
Because a real figure depends on your reports, the hospital and the length of stay. Where a hospital has given us its package prices, they are on that hospital's page as a guide. Either way, we send you a written estimate prepared for your case.
03Is Medsafar a hospital?
No. Medsafar is a medical travel facilitator. Treatment is given by independent hospitals and doctors in India. We arrange everything around it.
04Which reports should I send?
Whatever you already have: the doctor's letter, scans, blood test results or a discharge summary. Clear photos taken on a phone are fine.
05How soon will someone reply?
A case manager picks up your enquiry and comes back to you on WhatsApp or by call. A doctor's opinion takes longer, because a specialist has to read the reports.
06How many days will I spend in India?
That depends on what you need. A check-up or a minor procedure may take only a few days. A major operation, such as a knee or hip replacement, usually means two to three weeks, so you can recover before the flight home. Your treatment plan tells you what to expect.
07Can a family member travel with me?
Yes, and it helps to have someone with you. Indian medical visas allow attendants, so we add them to the visa invitation and arrange a room for them near the hospital.
08How does paying for treatment work?
You pay the hospital, based on the written estimate it gives you. Some hospitals take a small deposit to confirm your admission, and the balance is paid after you arrive. We go through every amount with you beforehand.
09Does Medsafar help after I return home?
Yes. We arrange follow-up calls with your doctor, share your reports with your local doctor if you want, and stay in touch while you recover.
10What happens to my medical reports?
They go to the doctors and hospitals reviewing your case, and nowhere else. You tick a box to allow that before we share anything.
