Frequently asked questions

How is treatment suitability assessed?

Suitability must be assessed individually by the responsible licensed provider after reviewing the information and examinations relevant to the treatment.

Can I receive a plan before travelling?

A provider may be able to share preliminary information, but a final plan can depend on an in-person assessment and should clearly state what remains to be confirmed.

What should I ask about recovery?

Ask for written instructions, warning signs, urgent and routine contact routes, review timing, travel assumptions, and responsibility after you return home.

Who is responsible for medical decisions?

Diagnosis, suitability, consent, treatment delivery, prescriptions, and clinical follow-up remain the responsibility of the independent licensed healthcare provider.
