Travelling Abroad For Medical Treatment
If you are traveling to another country for medical treatment or aesthetic plastic surgery, you need to be aware of the risks. Your international travel insurance may not cover you for illness or injury sustained as a result of your medical treatment. If you are ill, you may benefit from trip cancellation insurance just in case you are too sick to travel.
Choose your medical facility carefully. Some hospitals and healthcare centers may not have the same standards of cleanliness and hygiene as US hospitals.
Find out about the qualifications of the staff and the experience of the hospital. Check mortality rates and look at the success rate of your kind of surgery. Arrange follow-up care and travel arrangements.
Check if you are allowed to fly with your medical condition. If you fly when you are not permitted to, you may invalidate your travel medical insurance policy. Also consider whether you are well enough to make a long journey.
