What to Expect

Your treatment journey

What happens between your first message and the flight home. The initial inquiry is free, and nothing is booked before you have the written treatment proposal and cost overview.

How it works, from your first message to aftercare

The International Office handles your inquiry, records, travel and follow-up questions.

  1. Step 1: Initial inquiry

    A short message by online form, email or phone. The initial inquiry is free of charge.

  2. Step 2: Reply from the International Office

    The International Office reviews your message and your case directly and gets back to you.

  3. Step 3: Secure transfer of records

    After the first contact, the International Office requests your medical records and tells you how to send them securely.

  4. Step 4: Medical review and video call

    Your records are reviewed medically. A video call with a medically trained member of the International Office is free of charge; a video consultation with a physician is usually charged, and the International Office explains the fee before booking.

  6. Step 6: Travel, stay and aftercare

    The International Office helps you plan travel and your stay. You go home with detailed written plans for your doctor; follow-up questions go to the International Office.

Getting started

Initial contact

Write to us through the consultation form, by email to info@clinicum-stgeorg.de or by phone, and describe your situation: the condition, how long it has lasted, what has been tried and what you are looking for.

Please do not attach records to your first message. The International Office requests them afterwards, explains how to send them securely, and sends an intake questionnaire about your history, medication and earlier results.

Before you travel

Video consultation and estimate

Before anyone books a flight, there is a video call. In a consultation with a physician, you discuss whether an inpatient stay makes sense, what it would involve and how long it would take.

Afterwards you receive the written treatment proposal and an itemized cost overview listing the diagnostics, the therapies, physician time and your room. Costs and insurance explains how it is put together.

Logistics

Travel planning

Once you confirm the plan, the International Office helps with the logistics:

  • Travel dates and the admission date
  • Your hospital room, and hotels or guesthouses in Bad Aibling for companions
  • Transfer from Munich Airport (MUC), about 60 minutes by car; charged extra
  • Visa support letter when your entry into Germany requires one

For visas, time zones and arrival, see information for international patients.

How every stay runs

Every program follows the same rhythm; only the therapies differ.

  1. Arrival day

    day 1

    Blood for the laboratory, then a clinical assessment with your lead physician and a written schedule.

  2. Work-up

    first days

    Blood analyzed in the building, imaging and prior findings reviewed, the plan confirmed.

  3. Therapy days

    The therapies of your plan, with a physician who sees you and a nurse on the ward.

  4. Mid-stay review

    Laboratory values repeated so the plan can be adjusted while you are still here.

  5. Discharge

    last days

    The last therapy sessions and your discharge consultation.

Which therapies fill these days is written in your plan.

Treatment phase

How long you stay

The length follows the program and your findings. The physician names a range in the video consultation and confirms it after the first laboratory results.
