How to reduce the cost of treatment in Israel?
Despite the fact that health requires money, with high costs of treatment, it is worth considering how to reduce the cost of the trip as a whole.
What can you save:
- Payment of accommodation, meals, transportation and other expenses. Even modest housing is quite expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the clinic where you can undergo a diagnosis in no more than 4-5 days. It also makes sense to find apartments with kitchens, located as close as possible to the hospital. This will significantly reduce the cost of food and transportation;
- Ask the representatives of the clinic how quickly the treatment procedures will start after the diagnosis is confirmed. Ideally, treatment should begin after the diagnosis is completed the next day;
- Run part of diagnostics at home. Be sure to take discs with the results of CT, MRI, glass and blocks with a biopsy. If Israeli doctors consider their quality to be satisfactory, there will be no need to repeat these tests.
Never stop at the only option. Prices in Israeli clinics may vary, and quite significantly. Therefore, carefully review the price offers of different centers and compare them point by point.
What is better - to contact the clinic directly or to the agent?
You can search for a suitable clinic in Israel on your own. However, this is quite difficult to do. Most Russian-language sites of medical centers do not provide the necessary information in full. An inexperienced person may find it difficult to figure out what is described as true and what is just a marketing ploy.
The cost of treatment in Israel is different in public and private centers. Many clinics do not have sites in Russian, which complicates the choice of a good hospital at the best price. Therefore, it is more profitable to contact the agent.
The advantages of such choice:
- The agent is well acquainted with many clinics in Israel. The organization will not only tell the best center that deals with the treatment of a particular disease, but also advise a particular doctor;
- You will not lose precious time when you search for a clinic yourself. The agent will solve the problem as soon as possible. Indeed, in many diseases, delay is not possible;
- You do not have to pay the agent for his services separately. The clinic pays the commission on the cost of treatment of attracted patients (for the patient, the cost is the same when applying directly or with the agent).
Do not be afraid that the agent will not do his job well. He is interested in the results of your treatment. For him, this means good reviews and successful professional experience.
