How cross-border care works
A country-neutral explanation of who lists on Sylk Health, what a listed price means, and how a consultation request works.
Who lists
Each provider warrants its own accreditation against the bodies listed in the Provider Listing Agreement. Sylk Health checks public registers before listing and does not assess clinical quality. Naming an accrediting body implies no endorsement by it.
What a price means
Every listed price is a USD range posted by the provider, who keeps it current and states what it includes and excludes. Where a United States figure is shown it is Sylk Health's own estimate from Medicare rates and published cash prices, not a provider price or a quote.
How a request works
You submit a consultation request from a provider's listing. The request goes directly to that provider, who responds to you.
What Sylk Health does not do
Sylk Health operates a marketplace platform only. It is not a healthcare provider, clinical intermediary, broker, referral service or travel service. It does not select, match, steer or recommend providers, does not rank providers by clinical quality, and does not arrange travel, accommodation, interpretation or visas.
Questions to ask a provider
Before you request a consultation, it helps to ask the provider directly:
- What does the listed price range include and exclude?
- What accreditation does the provider hold, and against which body?
- What follow-up care is available after you return home?
