Medical Cost vs Total Journey Cost
A common assumption is that the treatment price equals the total trip cost. It doesn't — your total medical journey includes both the treatment itself and everything around it:
- Medical Treatment
- Consultation
- Diagnostic Tests
- Medicines
- Hospital Stay
- Visa
- Flights
- Accommodation
- Local Transportation
- Companion Expenses
- Interpreter / Assistance
- Recovery Stay
