What to look for in a medical tourism agency

The thought of surgery overseas in Thailand can be a daunting process with many sceptical of its safety. So we’ve devised a list of what our team thinks is most important when choosing a company for surgery overseas in Thailand:

Representative in your home country

We believe it’s always important to have access to a representative you trust when making the decision to pursue and pay for surgery overseas.

Onsite nurse and assistant to assist with recovery

Sure - it’s one thing to have a medical team during your time in hospital but what about when you get back to the hospital to recover? Well that’s something to consider for sure. Companies like Azurite Medical & Wellness offer this as part of their package as a bare minimum in all of their packages.

Ability to withdraw from superannuation if you’re from Australia

One thing we think is important is the ability to access your superannuation, this is another thing to consider when using a medical tourism company. Ask them their policy on this and if they are accredited.

Multiple surgery discounts

Cosmetic and plastic surgery can be an expensive financial decision and have plenty of consequences if not handled correctly. Ensure you understand the companies refund and payment policy well in advance. And ensure they don’t charge for extras on the day of surgery.
