How BridgeHealth Works

As the premier provider of medical travel services, BridgeHealth International, Inc. (BridgeHealth) is dedicated to empowering you with all of the information you need to make your trip successful.

BridgeHealth understands that the prospect of traveling abroad for medical procedures can be an overwhelming experience. Because we place such a premium on the continuity of communication and care, we provide you with your own experienced Travel Care Coordinator who can help you in a way that is tailored to your exact wants and needs. Your Travel Care Coordinator is your personal contact through every step of the process and can assist you by:

• Helping you complete our Short Form Inquiry, and arranging for a BridgeHealth Nurse to talk with your international surgeon
• Planning your dates of travel including arranging for the lowest airfare possible with complimentary airport pick up, ground transport and airport drop off and ground transport to and from your consultation when you discuss the risks of surgery, your trip to the hospital for surgery and post-procedure visits with the doctor.
• Scheduling your appointments in your destination country
• Helping with passports, visas and immunizations
• Providing you with your pre- and post-procedure instructions and being available if you have questions about them.
• Answering all your questions about costs, length of stay, cultural issues abroad, what to pack, and what kinds of incidental costs you may have to plan for (ex: taxis, shopping or sightseeing tours)
• Arranging for ongoing updates on your condition with your family and friends while you are away
• Coordinating follow-up medical services for your return home

In addition to your Travel Care Coordinator, you can also speak with a BridgeHealth Registered Nurse who can answer your questions about specific medical procedures or conditions. Your nurse will also be involved in coordinating your care with your surgeon(s).
