Step-by-Step Planning Guide

Step 1: Research & Contact AmanSehat (Week 1)

Share your medical reports and requirements. Our team provides a free consultation, treatment plan, and cost estimate within 48 hours.

Step 2: Choose Hospital & Doctor (Week 1-2)

Based on your condition, we recommend 2-3 hospital options. You can have a video consultation with the surgeon before deciding.

Step 3: Medical Visa Application (Week 2-3)

Apply for an Indian Medical Visa at the nearest Indian consulate. Required documents include: hospital invitation letter (we provide), medical reports, passport, photographs, and visa fee ($100-150).

Step 4: Travel Planning (Week 3-4)

We assist with flight booking recommendations, airport pickup, and accommodation near the hospital. Many patients also plan recovery at a nearby hotel or serviced apartment.

Step 5: Treatment in India

From airport arrival, you'll have a dedicated coordinator. Pre-surgery tests, surgery, recovery, and discharge are all managed by our team.

Step 6: Return & Follow-up

Fly home with detailed medical records. Continue follow-up via telemedicine with your Indian surgeon.

Insurance & Payment

Most US health insurance doesn't cover treatment abroad, but consider:

• Your US deductible alone may exceed the total India surgery cost
• Medical tourism insurance (covers complications, evacuation) costs $200-500
• Payment plans available at select hospitals
• Tax deductions may apply for medical travel expenses
