This checklist will help you prepare for a treatment trip to Armenia in a structured way. It contains general planning tips and does not replace medical or legal advice.
1. Before you decide
- Who will carry out the procedure, and what qualifications and experience does this person have?
- Does the clinic hold the licence required for the procedure?
- Will there be a face-to-face informed-consent consultation before the procedure – in a language you understand?
- Do you have a written cost overview, including the services that are not included?
- Has it been clarified who your point of contact will be if complications arise after you return home?
- Have you given yourself enough time to think it over?
2. Insurance & documents
- Valid travel document to hand; the German Federal Foreign Office’s travel and safety advice for Armenia checked.
- Clarified with your health insurer: cost coverage (usually not) and possible cost-sharing for subsequent illnesses (§ 52(2) SGB V, German Social Code, Book V).
- Checked whether your travel health insurance covers planned treatment – often it does not.
- Found out about follow-up cost or complications insurance.
- Copies of important documents with you, both digital and printed.
3. Health
- GP informed of your plans.
- List of your medication, allergies and pre-existing conditions prepared for the informed-consent consultation.
- Clinic’s instructions on preliminary examinations, medication and fasting obtained.
- Clarified with the clinic when, from a medical point of view, it is reasonable to fly home.
4. Your stay
- Accommodation near the clinic and transfer booked (through us, if you wish).
- Sufficient buffer time planned; return flight booked as flexibly as possible.
- Comfortable clothing that is easy to put on packed for the time after the procedure.
- If recommended: someone arranged to accompany you for the first few days.
5. After your return
- Doctor’s letter, surgical report and – if applicable – implant card received.
- Follow-up appointments arranged in Germany.
- Contact details for the clinic noted for any questions.
