How to treat overseas?

Legal analysis:

The patient should first find a formal, reliable and professional consulting service institution with a formal cooperation agreement with foreign hospitals, and then provide this institution with basic information such as illness and treatment, consult foreign hospitals, doctors and treatments for this disease, and reach an entrustment agreement. At the same time, patients should verify the information provided by the institution to avoid being misled by the institution.

Overseas medical service agencies will collect all medical records of patients, including: outpatient medical records; Hospitalization medical records (including hospitalization medical records, laboratory examination and test reports during hospitalization, pathological reports, genetic test reports, treatment records, surgical or biopsy records and discharge summary); Pathological sections (hospital stained pathological sections and more than 20 unstained pathological white films, which need immunohistochemistry and gene detection); All original images or discs (including X-ray films, CT films, MRI films, PET-CT films or discs, bone scans). Write English referral medical records according to the medical record format of foreign hospitals such as the United States.

It should be noted that patients need to consider transportation (the distance to the hospital), living conditions (whether they can cook) and nearby living facilities when booking accommodation. Overseas medical service institutions are relatively familiar with these and generally provide several kinds of accommodation according to the needs of patients, so that patients can choose for themselves.

Six steps of foreign medical treatment process: airport pick-up service. Regular, reliable and professional overseas medical service institutions have offices in countries with relatively developed medical standards (such as the United States, Britain, Germany, South Korea and Singapore). ). After the patient gets off the plane, the local staff will be responsible for services such as airport pick-up, overseas medical transceiver and appointment.

Seven steps of overseas medical treatment process: medical translation of overseas medical treatment. Large hospitals in the United States generally have full-time outpatient medical translators, and foreign translators from overseas medical service institutions are responsible for medical translation in hospitals.
