Process at Eye360 – Param Jyoti Eye Center

After we receive the query over email, the following details of the patient are needed:

• All relevant Medical history and reports of the patient
• Identity documents of the patient

Then, opinions and recommendation of our specialists are sent along with the approximate cost range, and the likely duration of the stay in India for the Treatment. These recommendations, cost and stay-duration are just tentative estimates based on the initial screening though, and are liable to change based on actual detailed investigations when the patient arrives. There is also a possibility that the doctor might not consider you fit for the treatment and might suggest another treatment after the diagnosis.

 

Medical Insurance

Medical travel to India is steadily increasing as it provides affordable healthcare to all around the globe. Some people travel to seek the best-in-class medical care outside their own country. While others undertake overseas travel to cut down on extra waiting time, as in the case of Citizens of countries like Great Britain and Canada who have national health care schemes.

It is generally recommended to consider Medical Tourism Insurance cover while traveling abroad for medical treatment. There are several companies providing such coverage.

 

Cost Comparison of Medical Treatments

The main drivers of medical travel to India are the best-in-class medical treatment facilities at only a fraction of what people have to pay in their home countries. As a cost comparison, the eye surgeries cost a meager 1/5^th or even lesser of the cost in US.

 

Medical VISA to INDIA

The government of India has introduced medical visa for foreign nationals across the world seeking specialty medical treatment in India for extended periods. A visa-on-arrival system for tourists from few selected countries has been instituted by government of India, which allows foreign nationals to stay in India for 30 days for medical procedures.

Maximum of two attendants who are blood relatives are permissible to accompany the patient under separate Medical Attendant visas. The validity of Medical Attendant Visa will be same as the patient Medical visa. The preliminary duration of Medical visa is up to a year or duration of the treatment, whichever is less. The visa allows maximum of 3 entries during 1 year.
