About Heyzl
We solve the trust and information gap that stops patients from accessing world-class, affordable healthcare across borders.
A GradeCircle product
Our Mission
Patients worldwide need access to quality, affordable healthcare. Medical centers in emerging markets offer world-class care at a fraction of Western prices. Yet information asymmetry and trust gaps prevent these markets from connecting.
Heyzl was built to solve exactly this. We rigorously vet every medical provider, verify credentials through blockchain-based systems, coordinate logistics from flights to accommodations, manage payments securely, and provide end-to-end patient support — from initial consultation through post-treatment follow-up. Cross-border medical care should be as seamless as booking a flight.
Our Transparent Fee Model
Unlike platforms that take 8–15% of every procedure cost, Heyzl uses fixed coordination fees ($199–$549) based on procedure category complexity — not the procedure value. This model:
- Removes any incentive to steer patients toward more expensive procedures
- Gives providers predictable costs — especially on high-value procedures
- Ensures compliance with healthcare regulations across every market we operate in
- Gives patients complete cost transparency before they commit to anything

From identifying a market failure to building a full-service cross-border healthcare platform

Global Depth
African & Asian Market Expertise
Built deep operational experience across 15+ countries — navigating local regulatory environments, provider ecosystems, and patient expectations in markets where the quality-price gap is greatest.
Portfolio
Growing GradeCircle Healthcare Suite
Medical tourism is one of several GradeCircle healthcare products. The portfolio now spans healthcare staffing marketplaces and AI clinical decision tools, all sharing the same standards of patient safety and provider quality.
Our Story
Heyzl is a product of GradeCircle — a technology company that builds platforms connecting people with critical services across borders. GradeCircle's healthcare division emerged from a straightforward observation: patients worldwide need access to quality, affordable care, while medical centers in emerging markets already deliver world-class outcomes at a fraction of Western prices. The obstacle isn't capability — it's trust and information.
We built Heyzl to close that gap with technology. Providers on our platform are vetted rigorously: licenses checked, credentials verified through blockchain-based systems, facility standards audited. Once a patient chooses a provider, we coordinate every logistical piece — flights, accommodations, payments held securely in escrow, and a care coordinator assigned from first consultation through post-treatment follow-up. There are no information black holes. No surprise bills. No abandoned patients.
Medical tourism is one of several healthcare solutions in the GradeCircle portfolio. GradeCircle also operates healthcare staffing marketplaces and develops AI clinical decision tools — all sharing the same commitment to patient safety, provider quality, regulatory compliance, and transparent pricing. Beyond healthcare, GradeCircle builds solutions across legal services, financial technology, logistics, and government services.
GradeCircle serves users across 15+ countries, with particular depth in African and Asian markets where the team has built hands-on operational experience navigating local regulatory environments, provider ecosystems, and patient needs. That ground-level expertise is what makes Heyzl different from platforms built in a single market and scaled globally on assumptions.

How We Operate
The principles that shape every decision across the GradeCircle healthcare suite
Patient Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Every product decision starts with one question: does this make the patient safer? Quality standards are not traded off for growth or convenience.
Verification Over Trust
We don't ask patients to take our word — or a provider's word — for anything. Credentials are verified on-chain. Claims are audited. Systems speak louder than assertions.
Local Knowledge, Global Standards
Our teams operate on the ground in the markets we serve. Deep local experience across Africa and Asia means we don't apply Western assumptions to fundamentally different healthcare contexts.
Transparent by Design
From pricing to provider credentials to care outcomes — nothing about your care is obscured. Transparency isn't a feature; it's baked into every interaction on the platform.
Why Patients & Providers Trust Us
Trust in cross-border healthcare isn't built on marketing claims. It's built on verifiable systems.
Blockchain Credential Verification
Provider licenses, certifications, and facility accreditations are verified and recorded on blockchain-based systems — creating an immutable, auditable record no provider can tamper with.
HIPAA-Compliant & Globally Regulated
Patient data is encrypted and handled in full compliance with HIPAA and applicable international data protection regulations. We operate with the same security standards in every market.
Escrow Payment Protection
Patient funds are held in escrow until treatment is confirmed complete. No provider receives payment for work not yet delivered — protecting patients from abandoned care or billing disputes.
