Eight services, one coordinator
Everything between your first message and your flight home: choosing a hospital, the paperwork, the trip and the follow-up. You pay the hospital's own price — Medcasts adds no markup.

Follow-up after you fly home
After you fly home we pass your records to your local doctor and help arrange follow-up calls with the hospital team.
How follow-up works -
Emergency + air ambulance
If something goes wrong during your trip, one call reaches our desk to coordinate hospital care and transfers.
Emergency desk -
Insurance + payment liaison
We help you understand what your policy covers and prepare the hospital documents your insurer asks for.
Payment options
Free to you — hospitals pay us.
Our coordination services are free for patients. You pay the hospital directly at its own price; how Medcasts is paid is set out in our terms.
Read termsFrom first message to first follow-up
- Initial conversation
You tell us what you are considering — diagnosis, earlier tests, where you live and your budget — and we assign a case manager.
- Workup review
We collect your reports and share them with hospitals that treat your condition. Nothing is booked at this stage.
- Decision support
Ask questions, compare options, get a second opinion. We help you choose; we don't push a hospital.
- Travel coordination
Once you choose, we help with the visa letter, airport pickup, accommodation and interpreters.
What we are — and what we aren't
We are not clinicians
We don't diagnose, prescribe, or perform procedures. Clinical recommendations come from licensed physicians at partner programs, not from us.
We are partial to good outcomes
Our incentive structure rewards repeat patients and referrals — not pushing specific programs. We disclose all coordination fees in our terms.
We are not affiliated with a specific hospital
We work with multiple programs in each destination. We have direct relationships, but not exclusive ones.
We are honest about limitations
If your case is better treated locally, we'll say so. If a procedure isn't right for you, we'll explain why. Bad referrals lose us future referrals — the math punishes overselling.
We are responsible for our recommendations
Documented in writing. Trail of communication preserved. Open to scrutiny, dispute, and second opinions.
