Pre-Trip Medical Preparations: Ensuring a Smooth Transition

Pre-trip planning plays an important role in creating a good dialysis experience while in Thailand. Here's a breakdown of the key medical preparations:

Consult Your Physicians:

Before going for any travel arrangement, set an appointment with your present nephrologist and a nephrologist in Thailand. Talk to your health care provider about where you are going, what happened in the past in terms of illnesses or disease, what drugs you are presently taking, and any aspect of the trip that may present a challenge. This important step means that all of your health care needs are taken into account and are integrated across your care providers.

Medical Records:

Organize your files that contain your complete dialysis records, current medication, laboratory results, and list of emergency contacts. Ideally, all these documents have to be translated into English or Thai where possible. Vital Strive can help you in arranging and translating your medical documents to help you in the communication with doctors and hospitals in Thailand.

Medications:

Ensure that you have legitimate prescriptions of all the medicines sufficiently to meet your usage all throughout your travel, and a few more added in-case of some hold-up. Take a medication from its blister pack, have a letter from your doctor describing your medical condition and the medications you are taking. This will make it easy for you to pass through the custom and make sure that you do not have a break in receiving your important medicines.

Insurance and Finances:

Always buy a broad health insurance policy that specifically requires foreign medical evacuation or medical treatment cost. Study on the limitations of the policy and the procedures of making a claim. Financially organize your expenses on dialysis treatments, and other expenses such as hotel or lodging, and other transport and travelling costs. Insurance pre-approvals for treatments that are already planned are also beneficial to the patient in that they prevent any nasty bills from coming as a shock.

Dialysis Center Coordination:

They are to ask whether the doctor is available at a particular time, the amount of treatment, and whether your insurance is accepted at the center.
