Start by telling us what type of healthcare service you are seeking and providing relevant information about your current medical condition. Previous test results, imaging, discharge summaries and physician reports can help with a preliminary evaluation. Your information may then be forwarded to an appropriate healthcare provider for review.
In many cases, available medical records can be reviewed before you travel and a preliminary treatment approach may be discussed. A remote review is not a definitive diagnosis or final treatment plan. After arrival, an in-person examination, laboratory tests or imaging may be required, and the treating physician may revise the proposed plan.
The required documents depend on your condition and planned procedure. They may include physician reports, discharge summaries, recent laboratory results, MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, pathology results and records of previous treatments. You should also provide an up-to-date medication list and relevant medical history.
Reports and results can generally be shared as PDF or JPG files or in other digital formats accepted by the healthcare provider. Imaging such as MRI or CT may require DICOM files or a secure image-sharing method specified by the provider. Documents should be legible, current and clearly identifiable as belonging to the patient.
Depending on the healthcare provider and physician, an online preliminary consultation may be possible. It can help you ask questions and understand the possible treatment pathway. An online consultation does not replace an in-person examination or diagnostic tests when these are medically required.
