Trip Planning

Before committing

• Verify the clinician and facility independently.
• Get the treatment plan and important inclusions/exclusions in writing.
• Ask what pre-travel testing or records are actually required.
• Understand cancellation, deposit and payment terms.

Travel and recovery

• Confirm how long the provider expects you to stay before and after treatment.
• Add recovery buffer instead of scheduling tourism immediately after a procedure.
• Know who is with you, where you are staying and how you will reach urgent care if needed.

Returning home

• Leave with procedure notes, imaging and medication instructions.
• Know what symptoms require urgent evaluation.
• Ask how the provider communicates with clinicians at home.
