One of the core features of ImagineHealth is that we can provide you with access to medical procedures and treatments that may not be available in your home country. In addition, we are committed to offering you the latest and most innovative treatments and technologies.
Through our partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers in Thailand, we can offer various medical treatments that may not be available in other countries. These treatments may be more experimental, cutting-edge, affordable, or accessible in Thailand.
We encourage you to contact us to learn more about the options that may be available to you. We can provide you with more detailed information and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.
The amount of money you can save by using ImagineHealth to book a medical treatment in Thailand compared to having it done in your home country can vary depending on several factors, including the specific treatment you are having, the costs of healthcare in your home country, and the particular treatment options available in Thailand.
In general, however, clients who undergo medical treatments in Thailand through ImagineHealth can often save a significant amount of money compared to what they would pay in their home country. This is due in part to the lower costs of healthcare in Thailand compared to many other countries, as well as the availability of high-quality treatments at affordable prices.
It is important to note that the cost savings you can achieve by having medical treatment in Thailand may be offset by travel and accommodation costs. However, you will find that the overall medical tourism costs are significantly lower than what you would pay in your home country, even after factoring in these additional costs.
Combining medical treatments with an unforgettable holiday in Thailand can be a great way to de-stress and unwind. With its world-renowned healthcare system, accessible prices, and breathtaking natural sights – from ancient temples to majestic mountain ranges – it’s no wonder that countless clients come here for experienced care while also visiting some of the most beautiful destinations. So make sure you take full advantage on your next visit!
Let us help you make the most of your trip by giving yourself the time and opportunity to incorporate a medical treatment with an unforgettable vacation. Remember that rest and recovery after such treatments are essential, so why not ensure luxurious relaxation while also taking some well-deserved ‘me’ time?
If you’re looking for advanced medical care at an affordable cost, Thailand is undoubtedly the place to be. With its world-class facilities and expertly trained healthcare professionals, many clients have been delighted with their experience of receiving treatment in this country. So there’s no wonder it has become a popular destination for medical tourism!
It is important to note that medical care quality can vary from facility to facility, and it is always advisable to research and choose a reputable and well-established healthcare provider.

As a facilitator, ImagineHealth is responsible for coordinating and organizing the medical care and treatments you receive in Thailand. This may include arranging appointments, coordinating transportation and accommodation, and providing support and assistance during your treatment journey.
However, the actual medical care and treatments you receive will be provided by our partner organizations, such as hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals. These organizations are responsible for providing the necessary care and treatment and are liable for any issues or complications that may arise during your treatment.
ImagineHealth conducts thorough due diligence when selecting its partner organizations to ensure that they meet our high standards for quality and safety. In addition, we work with reputable and experienced healthcare providers committed to providing their clients with the highest level of care.

At ImagineHealth, your well-being is our top priority. Therefore, we always strive to ensure that you receive the best care and service from our partners and us.
However, should any issues or complaints arise during treatment – no matter how small they may be – we support you in communicating them with us directly and are here to help resolve these matters promptly for a better experience overall. With open channels of communication between our partners, such as hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals included in this process, we can work on resolving all concerns raised. Hence, everyone benefits from improved quality standards moving forward!
If you experience any complications after your medical treatment, it is important to contact ImagineHealth as soon as possible. We can provide you with support and assistance and help you understand your options for addressing any issues that may arise.
Depending on the specific nature of your complications, we may be able to provide you with additional treatment or support to help you manage any issues that may arise. We will work closely with you and the Thai healthcare providers who treated you to determine the best action.
If you are experiencing severe complications or have concerns about your health, we recommend seeking medical attention immediately. You may need to visit a hospital or other healthcare facility to receive the necessary care.
As a medical tourism facilitator, ImagineHealth is not directly responsible for the medical care and treatment you receive in Thailand. Instead, this responsibility lies with the healthcare providers who treat you, such as hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals.
However, we understand that our clients may have concerns about their health and well-being while traveling abroad for medical treatment, and we take steps to protect their interests. ImagineHealth works with reputable and experienced healthcare providers committed to providing their patients with the highest level of care. As part of this commitment, these providers typically have the necessary liability insurance to protect themselves and their patients.
At ImagineHealth, we are committed to providing you with the highest level of care and service. However, we understand that there may be times when medical treatment does not meet a patient’s expectations due to complications, wrong expectations, or other issues. For example, suppose a client is seeking a refund or compensation in connection with a medical treatment that did not meet their expectations. In that case, we will work with them to understand their concerns and determine the appropriate action.
Please note that we do not offer refunds for medical treatments that have already been performed. However, we are committed to addressing any concerns or issues that may arise and will work with our clients and partners to find a satisfactory resolution. If you have any problems or issues with the medical care or service you received through ImagineHealth, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help and will work with you to address any issues that may have arisen.
Quality Assurance Questions
At ImagineHealth, we take your care and well-being seriously. That’s why we only partner with medical providers with the experience and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional service. To guarantee a high level of expertise in each provider we work with, ImagineHealth ensures that they meet stringent criteria for qualification. So you can be confident your health is always in good hands.
We verify their credentials such as degree, license, and certifications; conduct background checks for any disciplinary actions or criminal history; then seek recommendations from other healthcare professionals to ensure they’re up-to-standard with industry expectations.
We carefully review all references before making any decisions and use a range of measures – including patient satisfaction surveys and reviews – to evaluate their performance on an ongoing basis.
ImagineHealth also recognizes the value of international accreditations as a reliable measure for gauging competency and ensuring top-notch care.
ImagineHealth is committed to facilitating the highest quality care and service for you. That’s why we are looking for international accreditations that ensure world-class treatment quality and patient safety, so you can rest assured your health is in good hands!
- Joint Commission International (JCI): JCI is a global healthcare accreditation organization that sets standards for quality and safety in healthcare. Facilities that JCI accredits are required to meet strict criteria in areas such as patient safety, infection prevention, and medication management.
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO is a global standard-setting organization that develops and publishes standards for various industries, including healthcare. ISO standards for healthcare focus on areas such as quality management, patient safety, and risk management.
- Temos International (Temos) is another organization that provides international quality and safety accreditations for healthcare providers. Temos is a global accreditation and certification organization focusing on medical tourism and international patient care. By working with providers that have received Temos accreditation, ImagineHealth can further ensure that its clients are receiving top-quality care that meets international standards.
At accredited treatment providers, you can rest assured that your treatments are being conducted according to the best evidence-based practices. This means following guidelines for specific treatments and administering medications safely with sterile techniques. Additionally, safety protocols such as checklists help ensure that all steps of a procedure have been taken care of properly before, during, and after so there is minimal risk associated with any medical errors or complications.
Thai treatment providers understand the importance of providing their teams with ongoing training and education. This process is critical for staying informed regarding best practices, avoiding potential mishaps, and promoting positive healthcare outcomes. On top of this, regular quality checks are conducted to identify risks or possible areas where further enhancements can be made – from evaluations of patient records to getting feedback from staff members themselves.
At ImagineHealth, your treatment and care experience is our top priority. That’s why we have a process to address any complaints or concerns about the level of service you are receiving from your Thai healthcare provider or us. Once something has been brought up, rest assured that immediate action will be taken so it can be rectified quickly and effectively. In addition, your designated contact person at Imagine Health and our complaint hotline number or email address provide an additional layer of support for issues related specifically to certain aspects of care, such as offering more detailed information on treatments available along with extra assistance when necessary too!
At ImagineHealth, we recognize that our success is dependent on delivering a high-quality care experience to you. That’s why we’re taking steps to ensure the service and support you receive exceed your expectations.

We take your feedback seriously and strive to use it as an opportunity for improvement. If you have any issues or concerns with the care provided, our team is here to provide extra support – whether through additional resources or guidance in addressing those topics. We are committed to delivering quality service and ensuring each individual feels heard!
Having a one-on-one conversation with someone who has undergone the same treatment can give you an invaluable first-hand account of what to expect before, during, and after. That being said, every patient’s experience is unique – so it’s important to talk with your medical professional before making any decisions regarding treatment options that are right for you.
Data Privacy Questions
At ImagineHealth, we are dedicated to protecting your personal information and ensuring that our practices comply with Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

To ensure you receive the best care possible, we may need to share specific details of your medical history with other healthcare organizations or professionals who assist us in treating or coordinating for you. All parties will maintain strict confidentiality when handling this sensitive material!
At all times, we respect your privacy rights and are committed to protecting the confidentiality of your information. However, we understand you may have concerns about sharing personal data, so please reach out with any questions regarding our policies and practices concerning data sharing.
We understand the importance of keeping medical records safe and secure. We utilize several advanced security systems to protect your data, such as encrypted databases, secured servers to exchange information, secure login credentials, and strict access controls to verify staff permissions. However, our commitment extends beyond securing medical records. So you can have peace of mind knowing that all your confidential healthcare data is safe.

Financial Questions
Our treatment partners and we will require a deposit or upfront payment for specific medical procedures or treatments.
The specific deposit or upfront payment requirements will vary depending on the procedure or treatment being provided, as well as the individual provider’s policies. In general, however, you can expect to pay a deposit or upfront payment to secure your treatment dates and to cover any pre-treatment expenses, such as laboratory work or consultations with healthcare professionals.
We can provide more detailed information and help you understand the payment terms and conditions for the treatments you are interested in.
It is also essential to be aware that medical treatment can be expensive, and you may need to budget for additional costs beyond the deposit or upfront payment. This may include travel expenses, accommodation costs, and other related expenses. Therefore, we recommend you carefully consider your budget and financial situation before committing to any medical treatment.
At ImagineHealth, we understand that life can be unpredictable. Therefore, if your plans for medical treatment suddenly change due to an unforeseeable event, we may be able to provide you with some financial relief in the form of a partial refund. While this option won’t always apply depending on the specific provider and services offered, our team will do everything possible to support you. Either way, ImagineHealth, and its partners will work with you to find a fair solution.
We recommend that you pay for your treatment in advance to secure your treatment dates and ensure you can receive the care you need.
If you are paying for your treatment with a bank transfer, we will provide you with the necessary information, including our bank account number and any required reference codes.
If you are paying for your treatment with a credit or debit card, we will need to verify your card information and may require you to provide additional documentation, such as a copy of your passport or ID. We will also need to confirm that your card is valid and has sufficient funds to cover the cost of your treatment.
We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about payment services.
Here at ImagineHealth, we are committed to ensuring you understand the potential costs associated with your treatment plan. Therefore, before committing or traveling abroad for treatment, you can expect us to provide a detailed description of services included and excluded from your quote so that no surprises arise upon arriving in Thailand.
We will provide you with the necessary information and clarity by collaborating and openly discussing costs. This is a positive step towards patient involvement with care decisions, something ImagineHealth values deeply.
We care deeply about you and understand that the costs of medical treatments can be a source of worry. Therefore, we prioritize transparency, so you know what you are paying for before beginning treatment without any hidden fees or surprises. To give you peace of mind regarding financial matters related to your care, we will provide you with an inclusive breakdown of associated costs and actively communicate potential additional expenses before they arise. Our commitment is always towards helping create clarity throughout this process so that all aspects are fully understood from both sides—allowing for smoother overall experiences moving forward!
We believe that by being transparent about costs and working closely with you, we can help build trust and confidence between you and Thai providers and ensure that you are fully informed and involved in your care and treatment decisions.
To provide the best possible service, we are dedicated to helping you understand and make informed decisions about your treatment plan. Therefore, we will happily share a cost estimate for any treatment program before booking; this would include an itemized list of what is included in said costs, such as accommodation fees, rehabilitation programs, or even laboratory tests that may be necessary.
That being said, it’s always important to remember that there may be changes made during assessment with our specialists after your arrival here in Thailand – but rest assured that if anything comes up along those lines, you will be part of the decision-making process.
Medical treatments can quickly become a financial burden. At ImagineHealth, we prioritize making innovative therapies financially accessible for you – but we don’t offer any financing options. However, there are several sources you may want to explore if needing help covering the costs:
- Payment plans: A payment plan could be a great way to make the cost of your treatment more manageable. Though these plans are not very common, don’t hesitate to ask us about them – our treatment partners might have some practical solutions.
- Medical loans: Medical loans can be a way to cover the cost of medical treatments. Banks and financial institutions may offer competitive interest rates so that you have access to the necessary funds when it matters most. Allow yourself some peace of mind by looking into these options.
- Health savings accounts (HSAs) or flexible spending accounts (FSAs): As you plan for medical expenses, consider if your HSA or FSA can help. These accounts may assist with the cost of various treatments, making it easier to manage financial worries during stressful times.
- Insurance: Health insurance can be a great asset on your side when it comes time for medical treatments requiring an out-of-pocket expense. In some cases, you may even find coverage options through your insurer if you’re considering traveling abroad for the treatment—it’s just important to check with them first. We will provide the necessary documents from our side to support your application.
- Fundraising: Fundraising can be a good financing option for medical tourists, especially if you are seeking a medical treatment that is not covered by insurance or cannot afford the cost of the treatment out of pocket. There are several ways that you can fundraise for medical tourism, including:
- Online fundraising platforms: There are many online platforms, such as GoFundMe or YouCaring, that allow you to create a fundraising campaign and share it with friends, family, and the wider community.
- Social media: You can also use social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram to share your fundraising campaign and reach a wider audience.
- In-person fundraising events: You can also hold in-person fundraising events, such as bake sales, car washes, or raffles, to raise funds for your medical tourism. These events can be a lot of fun and an excellent way to engage with your community and build support for your campaign.
By exploring these and other financing options, you may be able to find a solution that helps you afford the medical care you need.
