That depends on the country that you are coming from. Some governments in countries with universal health care systems may cover certain treatments if the treatment is not available in your home country. For example, the public insurance may cover stereotactic radiotherapy treatment abroad for a brain tumor that requires specialized equipment that is not available in public hospitals. Similarly, some newly developed immunotherapy drugs that are not available in your home country might be covered. If have a public health insurance policy, check with your oncologist if such coverage is available. Currently, major private insurance companies in the USA do not provide coverage for treatment abroad. If you have private insurance, it is always a good idea to consult to your insurance company before making the decision to travel abroad for cancer treatment. At Oncoist, we also help you to find out if you have options to have your treatment in Turkey covered by the insurance policy.

We work with many hospitals and private clinics that specialize in cancer treatment. These include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, heamatologists, radiologists, cancer surgeons, pathologists, and any other medical specialist that the patient may need.
At Oncoist we understand the importance of keeping the sensitive patient information safe. We make sure that every information shared through our secure system is kept private and only shared with medical professionals that would play part in patient's treatment process.
