Understand the medical proposal
Ask for the purpose of the visit, planned consultations and investigations, expected duration and conditions for changes. Discuss benefits, risks and alternatives to proposed interventions with your doctor.
Understand the estimate
Request a written breakdown of hospital charges, interpreting, support, accommodation and travel. Clarify currency, payment terms, cancellation and possible extras. A preliminary estimate is not a final bill.
Plan your return and follow-up
Establish who will prepare discharge records, how to obtain results and where to direct questions after returning. Medical specialists agree on follow-up; your coordinator helps organize communication.
