A Step-by-Step Guide to Medical Tourism with Unimedicaid: From Arrival to Recovery
You think that medical tourism is just about taking a plane and visiting a hospital. But it's not true. It's a decision of your life that affects your health and your peace of mind, as well as your budget. At Unimedicaid, we understand the difficulty of this journey. So, we help you to find a doctor or a clinic and guide you through the entire process. It will be from the moment you decide to take treatment abroad until you're safely back home after recovering.
Here, you will find each phase of the medical tourism process and how Unimedicaid supports you at each step.
Step 1: Exploring Options and Making the Decision
In medical tourism, research is the first thing you will do before going. As a patient, you always get confused about the hospital, the country or the best option on the basis of trust. Because, in an unknown country, it feels more unsafe if you do not have proper guidance or assistance.
At this stage, we educate and properly guide our patients regarding the trip and other necessary things. We offer clear, one-on-one consultations in which we look at your medical needs, budget, travel preferences, and travel schedule. We help you figure out what the availability is and where you can get it. Whether you need orthopaedic surgery, fertility treatment, cosmetic procedures, or cancer care, we will be with you till the last minute.
We include in this phase the following:
-
If you are looking over your medical history, we will help you.
-
We understand your need for a reputable and trusted hospital.
-
You can discuss countries, clinics, and procedures at the basis of your needs.
-
We will solve all queries about price, safety, or how things work.
Step 2: Arranging the Right Healthcare Provider
When you decide to get treatment abroad, we connect with a certified healthcare provider from our trusted network. We check out each hospital and clinic for:
-
International accreditations (like JCI).
-
We check for English-speaking hospital staff and doctors.
-
We track records of good patient care and successful outcomes.
-
Also, we check the facilities that are clean, up-to-date, and have the latest technology.
We also make sure you can talk to your doctor before you leave. You can talk to your doctor by a video call or in person. You will be able to ask questions, learn about your treatment plan, and get to know your care team ahead of time.
Step 3: Travel Planning and Logistics
While travelling for healthcare, it is totally different from taking a vacation. There are a lot of things to care about, like visas, flights, places to stay near the hospital, and what to bring.
That's the moment our end-to-end concierge service steps in. We take care of:
-
You will get medical visa support.
-
We arrange flight and accommodation bookings.
-
Airport pickup and drop will be included here.
-
If you need, we can arrange translator or interpreter services.
-
You will get local mobile SIM cards or data packages.
-
Pre-travel medical clearances or vaccinations are our responsibility.
We also provide an itinerary and checklist with details. So, you always know that a particular thing is coming next.
Step 4: Arrival and Admission
When you arrive at the airport, a Unimedicaid local representative will greet you for the next step. From there, we ensure a smooth visit to your hotel or hospital as per your schedule.
At the hospital, your admission is pre-arranged. No lines. No administrative hassles. We will be there by your side to help with paperwork, hospital orientation, and check-in processes. If you need, one of our multilingual team members will assist with any communication between you and the hospital staff.
At this moment you will get help in:
-
Diagnostic tests or medical assessments.
-
Meeting your care team in person.
-
To finalize the treatment plan.
-
Getting the timeline and recovery expectations.
Step 5: Treatment and Recovery Abroad
During your treatment, your main focus should be on healing. So, we always make sure of that thing.
We keep in close contact with you and the hospital throughout your treatment. If there are patients undergoing surgery or staying overnight, our local team checks in daily and provides any non-medical support you need, such as:
-
You need meals that meet your dietary requirements, we will fully support.
-
We help your travel companion with accommodations.
-
Translating medical updates to your family back home.
After your treatment, you will usually need to stay in the area for a few days or weeks to recover and go to follow-up appointments. We make sure that you are staying in a recovery-friendly environment that is comfortable, clean, and closer.
Step 6: Follow-Up and Return Home
After your recovery, once your doctor says it's okay for you to travel, we help you to plan your return flight. And, also make sure you have the following things:
-
We help you get the complete medical summary in English.
-
You will get proper information about the post-treatment medication and instructions.
-
Follow-up appointments (virtual or local in your home country).
-
You will get emergency contact numbers.
And we do not only drop you at the airport and say goodbye. Our commitment extends beyond borders. When you return home, the Unimedicaid team will continue to support you with the following:
-
You will get telemedicine follow-ups.
-
If you need it, you will get rehabilitation support.
