Here are some helpful hints for patients who are traveling overseas for medical treatment for the first time. In any case, please do not hesitate to contact Harsh Hospital International Representative if you require assistance.
- Check-in with your current doctor to determine your health and medical condition to travel abroad.
- If you decide to continue your treatment outside of your home country, make sure to inform your local doctor so that you can continue your follow-ups there.
- Learn more about the procedure, including what you may anticipate from it and what you can expect from it. Consult your doctor about what to expect throughout your recuperation and whether physical therapy is necessary.

Visa Requirements
Patients traveling from abroad can visit India’s Bureau of Immigration website to learn more about India’s Visa requirements and regulations here.
Insurance
We collaborate with a lot of international insurance companies. For more information, contact an International Representative. Additionally, any foreign insurance coverage not listed on the list will not be processed or accepted.
Insurance coverage for the companies on our list is only valid for inpatient procedures (48 hours in the hospital) and requires prior approval from the insurance provider. The in-patient billing department requires a deposit upon admission.
Once your insurance provider approves the treatment cost, the deposit will be reimbursed. If insurance coverage is not provided within 48 hours of admission, you must pay the hospital bill and file a claim with the insurance company.
Please contact our International Representatives using the contact form on the right if you have specific questions or concerns.
