Why does it cost so much less in Budapest?
Salaries, rent and administration all cost less in Hungary, and there is no insurance billing layer between you and the hospital. You pay the local market's price, at a private, EU-regulated hospital.
Are the physicians English-speaking?
Yes, throughout. Consultations, findings and the written report are all in English.
How long should I plan to stay?
The screening takes one weekday, most of it in the morning. We suggest three or four nights, so a follow-up examination fits if a specialist recommends one, and so the city gets its due. We can help plan the stay.
Is it covered by insurance, an HSA or an FSA?
Most US health insurance does not cover care abroad. However, our screenings are HSA and FSA friendly. We provide itemized medical invoices with billing codes that make reimbursement straightforward.
Can I add any specialist or test?
Yes. The programs are starting points: any specialist, examination or test the hospital offers can be added, and we schedule it into your visit. Before you arrive, Adam fits your program around your history, your questions and anything your own physician would like examined, and quotes it as one number.
What happens if something is found?
A thorough screening looks at more of you, more closely, than nearly any appointment you have had, and it is normal for that kind of attention to turn up small things: a cyst, a benign nodule, a number sitting just outside its range. The large majority of these findings are harmless and become part of a baseline, something to watch rather than worry about.
Each specialist explains what a finding is, and what it is not, in person the same day. If something deserves a closer look, we coordinate whatever comes next: the scheduling, the logistics, the communication. The physicians decide the medicine. Nothing proceeds without your say.
Can my own doctor see the results?
Yes. The written report is yours, in English, to share with your physician at home. With the Full-Body Executive, we also coordinate with your US physician directly.
Is Danube Private Health a healthcare provider?
No. We are a coordination service. All medical care, every examination and every clinical judgment comes from the physicians at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, an EU-regulated private hospital founded in 2007.
