Tools that organise your treatment trip, step by step

Dates follow the medical visa page on our site at the time of writing (apply from 120 days up to 4 days before arrival; complete the e-Arrival card within 72 hours before arrival). Rules can change, so the official portal is the reference. Medical visa guide · Official Indian visa portal

• Latest medical report or case summary from your doctor
• List of current medicines and doses
• Summary of previous surgeries and treatments with dates
• Any allergies to medicines or materials
• Passport data page (patient and companion) for the hospital letter and visa
• Short description of symptoms and when they started
• Most recent tests and scans

Legal requirements for transplants

This list is for organising only and does not mean you need new tests. The doctor decides what is needed.

The clearer and more complete your medical file is, the faster the hospital specialists in India can issue an accurate written treatment plan (typically within 24–48 hours):

• Medical reports and lab tests are recent (within the last 3 to 6 months)
• Imaging scans (MRI / CT / Echo / Angiography) are clear or available as digital links/CDs
• Biopsy / pathology report is included (for oncology or transplant) — or not applicable
• Current medicines with generic names and doses are clearly listed
• Brief timeline of current symptoms, when they started, and any past surgeries
• Passport data page (patient and companion) is valid for at least 6 months

Even if one or two items are missing, you can send what you have now and your coordinator will guide you.

Trust comes from checking. These are steps you can take yourself, and we encourage them:

• The treatment offer is written by the hospital itself: your name, the procedure, what is and is not included, and how long the offer is valid.
• Hospital accreditation by India's NABH: search for the hospital name on their site. NABH website
• International JCI accreditation: on JCI's official site, open the list of accredited organisations and search for the hospital. JCI website
• Apply for the visa only on the official portal. According to the portal, there are no official urgent or extra fees. Official portal
• Pay treatment costs directly to the hospital and keep its official invoice.
• Talk to us on video before you travel and ask everything on your mind. Video consultation

Price × nights only. Taxes and fees depend on the accommodation offer. This is not advice on treatment length; the doctor decides that.

We do not fetch exchange rates from the internet. Use the rate your bank or exchange office confirms today.

Always keep original documents, medical reports, and essential daily medicines in your cabin carry-on bag, never in checked baggage.

Enter the time the hospital confirmed in India time. Downloading the file does not book anything; it only adds it to your calendar.

In the hospital, you have the right to understand every medical and billing step clearly. Check off each item as you verify it:

• An interpreter is present with you before signing any Informed Consent form.
• The treating consultant has explained the procedure, alternatives, and expected risks directly.
• You have a copy of the written cost estimate and matched it with the admission category.
• Request an Interim Itemized Bill every 2–3 days from the billing desk to review charges early.
• Check pharmacy and consumable slips and ensure unused medicines are credited before final settlement.
• Receive the official stamped Discharge Summary along with all lab and pathology reports.
• Collect serial number stickers/cards for any implanted stent, valve, or artificial joint.
• Collect a signed Fit-to-Fly certificate from the treating doctor if flying soon after surgery.

The Blue Crescent team is with you at the hospital to interpret and help review itemized bills and discharge papers at no charge.
