Following the Hospital’s procedures and policies, when a patient is travelling to our Hospital for a scheduled procedure or operation from a country that requires a Medical Visa, he/she should deposit the hospital expenses in advance, prior to his/her admission. The invitation letter used for the medical visa must confirm that all treatment costs are covered. Therefore, it will be issued by the Hospital’s administration, after the receipt of payment.

It should be noted that the Euroclinic Hospital’s Administration provides letters of Invitation to patients visiting the Hospital for surgeries and invasive treatments, and not for simple clinical examinations. The closing hospital expenses will be finalized upon the discharge note, and the Hospital will reimburse any potential balance.

The Hospital cooperates with most International private Insurance companies. We recommend that you check the hospital bill percentage that your insurance covers prior to admission. If you are uninsured or if your insurance policy requires that you pay part of your bill, you will be advised to make a deposit upon admission. The amount of the deposit will be deducted from your final bill.
