Surgery abroad: insurance, cost and follow-up at home — New York guide

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

New York guide

A practical guide to pudendal surgery abroad cost insurance for patients based in New York and the surrounding tri-state area.

Every patient receives a written estimate covering the operation, the hospital stay and the scheduled follow-up before committing to travel. There are no figures that appear later.

US insurers rarely cover elective surgery abroad, but they do often reimburse parts of the diagnostic workup done at home. Swedish patients can ask their region about planned care abroad; we supply the clinical documentation needed for that application, without promising an outcome we do not control.

Follow-up is by video at set intervals after you fly home, and the discharge summary is written so that a physician in New York or a vårdcentral in Sweden can continue the care without starting over.

Case reviews for New York patients are scheduled in Eastern Time and answered in writing before any travel is discussed.
