Tell us what care you need. We’ll help you find and compare your options.
Describe the care you need. Credential-verified international providers respond with itemized offers — price, inclusions, hospital stay and follow-up — that you compare side by side, and against what you’d pay at home, before you decide whether to travel.

Fixed by procedure complexity — never a percentage of your care.
Arithmetic on published price benchmarks — not a quote. Your price is set by the provider and confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
These are benchmarks, not receipts. Once the first patients complete treatment we publish what they were actually charged — including the cases where the saving was smaller than the range above.
How it works
Heyzl turns an international treatment decision into four steps you can take one at a time — with the price you compare and the payout you protect both made explicit.
Describe your case
Tell us the procedure you need and where you are. It is free, takes a few minutes, and does not require an account.
No obligation. Sharing your case is not a booking.
Verified providers respond
Providers whose medical license and malpractice cover are enforced read your case and answer with an itemized offer — the inclusions, the total, and the next step.
8 credential checks; 4 require human review before a provider is listed.
Compare like for like
Put the offers side by side — credentials, what each price includes, and the total. Benchmarks help you research; a provider's offer is the real number.
The cheaper headline is not always the cheaper care.
Book with payment held
When you choose an offer, payment is collected up front and the provider's payout is withheld until your treatment is confirmed complete — with support from arrival through recovery.
The provider is paid after your care is confirmed, not before.
Free to request options — no account required.
Compare more than the headline price.
One of these quotes is fifteen hundred dollars cheaper. It also leaves out the prosthesis and says nothing about how long you would be in hospital. Offers are broken into the same categories so that difference is visible instead of buried — and both sit beside the US average for the same procedure, a single number with no breakdown to compare at all.

Choosing a provider doesn't book anything or take payment. You pick a date next, and nothing is charged until you confirm.
How a provider gets listed
4 checks run automatically.
4 still need a person.
Most marketplaces show you a verified badge and stop there. Here is the actual state of each check, including the ones we have not automated.
Medical license
AutomatedA verified, non-expired license must be on file. Enforced in application code and again by a database constraint, so no admin action can bypass it.
Malpractice insurance
AutomatedAn active policy of at least $1,000,000 in coverage, checked against its effective and expiry dates.
Background check
AutomatedA provider carrying a flagged background check cannot be listed.
NPI registry (NPPES)
AutomatedLooked up live against the CMS national provider registry at npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov.
Exclusion screening (OIG / NPDB)
Manual reviewNo automated feed yet. Routed to a human reviewer rather than recorded as clean.
Sanctions screening (OFAC)
Manual reviewNo automated feed yet. Routed to a human reviewer.
Facility accreditation (JCI)
Manual reviewConfirmed by a reviewer against the accrediting body, not by an API.
Identity verification
Manual reviewReviewed by a person until the automated integration is live.
The rule that matters: A check we cannot perform against an authoritative source is never recorded as a pass. It becomes a manual review, and the provider stays unlisted until a person completes it.
We're verifying providers before anyone can book them.
A provider cannot appear here until their license and malpractice cover have been checked — enforced in the database, not by policy. Nobody is listed yet, so nobody is shown.
We are onboarding the first providers one procedure and destination at a time, rather than listing everyone and sorting it out later. Tell us what treatment you need and we will put your case in front of the providers verified for it — and tell you when that happens.

Not a badge — the actual sequence, and the point at which the provider is paid. Scan the tags on the right: that is where your money is at every step.
The coordination fee is $199–$549, fixed by procedure complexity and never a percentage of what your care costs. The full terms, including cancellation and refunds.
You accept an offer
Nothing chargedNothing is charged. You pick a treatment date with the provider first.
You confirm the booking
Payment collectedPayment is collected — the treatment price, the coordination fee and card processing, itemized before you agree to any of it.
Between booking and treatment
Provider unpaidThe provider is not paid. If you cancel, what you get back follows the cancellation terms stated on the offer you accepted — not a policy invented afterwards.
After treatment
Payout releasedYou confirm your care is complete. The provider's payout is released after that, or after a short grace period if nobody raises anything.
If something goes wrong
Payout heldYou can open a dispute before the payout is released, and it is held while that is resolved.
Reviews tell you how someone felt. Outcomes tell you what happened.
After treatment we ask patients the same questions at thirty, ninety and a hundred and eighty days: how the result was, whether recovery matched what they were told, and whether anything went wrong.
No treatment has been booked through this platform yet, so there is nothing to report and nothing is shown. When there is, a figure is published for a provider and procedure only once at least 20 patients have answered and at least 40% of those asked replied — and it will always appear beside how many were asked and how many answered. A rate without its denominator is the thing these rules exist to prevent.
What we will not do with it
- Reduce it to a star rating. A single score hides whether the question was about the result, the recovery or the care.
- Rank providers clinically. Outcome data describes what happened to other patients; it is not a prediction about you, and treating it as one would be practicing medicine.
- Publish a figure without its sample. Below the thresholds above, the honest answer is that we do not know yet.
Practicing at an international hospital or clinic?
Patient cases arrive as structured requests you answer with an itemized offer. The coordination fee is fixed — $199–$549 by procedure complexity, never a percentage of what you charge.
Questions people stall on
The things worth resolving before spending five figures on treatment abroad — answered with what this platform actually does.
A provider cannot list until a valid medical license and active malpractice cover are on file — enforced in the application and again by a database constraint, so it cannot be skipped. Some checks, including exclusion and sanctions screening and facility accreditation, cannot yet be run against an authoritative source. Those go to a human reviewer and are recorded as pending review, never as passed.
The provider pays a fixed coordination fee when a booking is confirmed, set by procedure complexity and never a share of what your care costs. You pay the treatment price and card processing. We are not paid more when you choose a more expensive provider, and placement is never for sale.
No. Prices on this site are published benchmarks — averages drawn from public datasets, useful for working out whether travelling is worth considering at all. A real number for your case comes from a provider who has read it. That is what requesting treatment options gets you.
Payment is collected when you confirm a booking, and the provider is not paid at that point. Their payout is released after your treatment is confirmed complete, or after a short grace period. If you raise a dispute first, it is held while that is resolved. Funds are not held in a segregated or trust account, and we do not describe ourselves as an escrow agent.
Every offer states what it includes, what it excludes, how long you would need to stay, and what happens if there are complications. If a provider needs to change the plan after you have accepted, that is a new offer you have to accept — the price cannot move underneath you.
Each offer states its follow-up policy, and that is the commitment you are agreeing to. Structured outcome follow-up at set intervals after treatment is something we intend to publish with its sample size and methodology; it is not running yet, and we would rather say so than imply data we do not have.
No, and we removed the feature that came closest to looking like it. Heyzl does not diagnose, does not recommend a treatment, and does not rank providers by clinical suitability for you. We verify who providers are, route your case to the ones who treat that procedure, and organize what they send back so you can compare it. The clinical decision is between you and a clinician.
A review can only be left against a completed booking made through the platform, so it is tied to care that demonstrably happened. There is no way to buy one, and a provider cannot remove a review they dislike.
Not to browse, not to compare benchmark costs, and not to start describing your case. You are asked to register at the point providers would see your case — because that is when your information leaves your own screen.
See what your treatment would actually cost.
Care abroad typically costs 40–70% less than US list prices — but the number that matters is a verified provider’s itemized offer for your case. Request yours; the provider’s payout is withheld until your care is confirmed. Savings vary by procedure, provider, and destination.
