Q1: How do I know which weight loss option is best for me?
A: You share your health records and goals. We arrange a specialist consultation to recommend an appropriate
surgical or non-surgical programme. Medreen does not give medical advice – the treating doctor does.
Q2: How fast can treatment be scheduled?
A: It depends on surgeon availability, hospital slots, and your pre-op tests. We aim to share a realistic timeline after reports review and once you select a provider.
Q3: What is included in the cost estimate?
A: We provide a written estimate with inclusions and exclusions. Typically, estimates may include hospital stay, operating room charges, surgeon/anesthesia fees, basic medicines during admission, and standard diagnostics. Premium implants, devices or rooms can change the number.
Q4: What can increase the final cost?
A: Most common reasons: premium implant or device choice; longer hospital or ICU stay; additional tests due to health conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart risk, infections); complications requiring extra care. We highlight these cost movers up front.
Q5: Do you guarantee the same price shown on the website?
A: No — the website shows benchmarks. Final pricing is confirmed after medical review and a hospital quote.
Q6: Will I need follow-up therapy after cancer treatment?
A: Yes. Ongoing monitoring and sometimes additional therapy are crucial. Follow-up schedules depend on the type and stage of cancer. We coordinate these visits and any supportive care you require.
Q7: Can someone stay with me during treatment?
A: Yes. We encourage a companion for many cases (especially for older patients). We can also coordinate on-ground help/support, depending on what you choose.
Q8: How does the doctor consultation work?
A: After you submit details, we can schedule a video consultation. If your model includes a paid consult, we collect payment and confirm the appointment.
Q9: Can my US/UK/Canada insurance pay for treatment abroad?
A: Sometimes, but often not unless your policy includes international/elective treatment or out-of-network overseas coverage. We help you prepare documents for your insurer (invoice, medical notes, discharge summary), but approval depends on your insurer and plan.
Q10: What documents do you need from me for an estimate?
A: Typically: passport (basic details); diagnosis note/current doctor summary; recent diagnostic reports (e.g. X-ray, MRI, angiogram); current medication list; past medical history (e.g. diabetes, blood pressure, heart issues).
Q11: What are the biggest risks patients worry about?
A: Usually: safety, communication, post-op follow-up, and unexpected costs. We reduce this by using verified hospitals, clear written estimates, and a structured follow-up plan.
Q12: What happens after I return home?
A: We coordinate discharge documents and a follow-up schedule. If you need continued therapy or check-ins, we help arrange tele-follow-ups with the treating team.
Q13: Do you handle refunds if the patient cancels?
A: Refunds depend on hospital/provider cancellation rules and timing (deposits, booking blocks, etc.). We share the policy before any payment is made.
Q14: Is Medreen a hospital or medical provider?
A: No. Medreen is a facilitator/coordination service. Medical decisions and treatment are provided by licensed hospitals/doctors.
