To help you feel more comfortable about the safety of your money, we have an agreement with our partners abroad to allow you to forward a small deposit into our bank account and hold for release at a later date. Unlike other foreign medical tourism providers, who make you pay 100% of the cost upfront, we will only ask for a small portion of the costs to secure your booking. This way, if for any reason you decide not to move forward with your procedure, you will only pay for the services you�ve used (airfare & hotel) and receive a refund from us.
13. Itinerary to confirm procedure(s), flight, hospital, doctor and hotel
We will confirm all your reservations and submit an itinerary for your review. Please check this document carefully to understand the time line of your trip. We will also send you information very specific to your travel destination so you can be prepared to make the most of your travel experience.

When you select a destination for your medical treatment, you will be offered the services of a Destination Program Manager (DPM), the person that will greet you upon your arrival at your chosen destination, and, be your personal assistant throughout your stay. In some countries, a DPM is not necessary due to an American type culture.
