Why prices are shown as "from"

We publish starting prices for every procedure, but the same diagnosis can cost two patients very different amounts — and that's not a sales tactic. It's how medicine works. Here's what actually determines your final price.

Same diagnosis, different cases

Pick a procedure to see how the same condition can lead to very different treatment plans. Different plans, different costs — and that’s why your price can only be quoted after a doctor reviews your case.

What changes the price

These are the real variables that doctors and hospitals account for when they prepare your proforma.

Stage & severity

The same condition at different stages requires different interventions, length of treatment, and follow-up.

Diagnostics needed

MRI, CT, PET, biopsy, genetic testing — what’s already done abroad vs what needs to be re-done in Turkey.

Implant or device type

From standard to premium — implant manufacturer, materials, and warranty class affect the final cost.

Length of hospital stay

Single overnight vs two-week inpatient recovery — daily rates and nursing care add up differently.

Medications & therapy

Targeted drugs, hormone therapy, anesthesia type — some protocols use medications that cost more than the surgery.

Doctor’s experience

Senior surgeons with international credentials charge differently from younger doctors — both deliver good care.

How your exact price is formed

No guesswork. Here’s what happens between your first message and the moment you see the final number.

1

You share your medical file

Imaging, lab results, doctor’s notes. The more complete, the more accurate the proposal.

2

Doctors review your case

Specialists from each partner network examine your file and design a treatment plan for your specific condition.

3

Hospitals issue proformas

Each network sends an itemized proposal — exact procedures, doctor, hospital, length of stay, and total cost.

4

You see the price before deciding

Compare proformas side-by-side. Choose what fits. You only commit once everything is clear.

How we make money

You see the same price the hospital quotes

MedAgent doesn’t add markup to your treatment cost. The price on your proforma is the price you pay — directly to the hospital. We’re paid by our partner hospitals through coordination agreements, not by you. Our incentive is to find you the right clinic, not the most expensive one.
