Choose the pathway closest to your need. If your request is unusual, tell us the whole story — we’ll identify what’s needed to route it responsibly.
Keep your treatment schedule while you visit family, retire, recover or explore. We coordinate the receiving facility’s review, your requested sessions and the travel around them.
⚠️Don’t travel assuming a session is confirmed. The receiving facility must accept the patient, review records and confirm dates, supplies and payment. Medicare generally doesn’t cover care outside the U.S.
Organize your pathology, imaging and oncology records for an independent receiving-physician review — then consultation, treatment planning and travel support if care is appropriate.
⚠️Clinical review is required. Submitting a request doesn’t mean treatment acceptance. The receiving team may ask for pathology review, imaging, labs, consultation or another biopsy first.
Concentrators, portable units and oxygen cylinders delivered where you’re staying through appropriate independent suppliers — subject to prescription and availability.
⚠️Airlines set the rules in the air. They decide which portable concentrators, batteries and documents are accepted. Compressed cylinders must not be brought aboard unless the airline specifically permits it (FAA).
Complex medication, mobility, nursing, recovery or another specialized requirement. Give us the complete picture and we’ll tell you honestly what it takes.
ℹ️Honest answers. If a request can’t be arranged safely or responsibly, we’ll tell you — and explain what would be needed.

Often, yes — when it is planned in advance. A receiving dialysis facility must review its required records, physician orders, access and supply information, then accept the patient and confirm the requested sessions. A submitted request is not a confirmed appointment.
As early as possible. For dialysis outside the U.S., providers such as DaVita recommend at least 10 weeks of lead time, because records, screening tests, facility acceptance, supplies and payment all need to be arranged before you travel.
Medicare generally covers care only in the U.S. and its territories. Ask your insurer about foreign or travel medical benefits before you go. The receiving facility or supplier confirms price and payment requirements before anything is booked.
We coordinate authorized record transfer, specialist review, consultations and travel logistics. A licensed receiving oncology team independently decides whether evaluation or treatment is appropriate and may require additional testing first.
Typically the pathology or biopsy report, oncology notes and treatment history, recent imaging such as CT, MRI or PET, recent labs, and molecular testing if it was done. The receiving team may ask for more.
We can help request equipment delivery through an appropriate independent supplier, subject to prescription, location, inventory and supplier rules. Oxygen on the flight and oxygen at your destination are separate arrangements.
Your airline decides which portable oxygen concentrators, batteries and documents it accepts, so contact it early. Carry enough spare batteries for the flight in your carry-on. Compressed oxygen cylinders must not be brought aboard unless the airline specifically permits it.
Choose “Unique request” and give complete patient, clinical, travel, technical and support information. We will assess the coordination pathway and tell you what documentation or professional review is required — or honestly tell you if it can’t be arranged responsibly.
It depends on the provider or supplier, the number of sessions or rental days, supplies and logistics. The responsible provider or supplier confirms the price after reviewing your request — before anything is booked.
No. For an emergency, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department. This request form is not monitored as an emergency service.
