What we do differently

Raw facts — hospital names, price ranges — are commodity. Any search-capable AI already gets close to these from one query. That's not the pitch. Four things are, and none of them are specific to any one destination:

  • Verification, not blind trust. Every claim carries a sourcing tier, and each report ships with ready-to-use prompts so you can independently check it yourself, section by section — including catching our own errors.
  • Privacy by construction. Your situation is never stored, report files auto-delete on a fixed schedule, and payment is handled by the processor — not us.
  • Completeness a layman wouldn't think to ask for. The second-order risks — tax triggers, transit-country rules, unit mismatches between systems — surfaced unprompted, not left for you to discover after you've committed.
  • Done natively, not machine-translated. Native-language composition with script discipline, plus an English reference copy included for verification.

A chatbot answer vs. this report

A generic AI chat session can explain a procedure, list hospitals, quote a price range — the same commodity facts either source gets to. What it structurally can't do in a single pass is the same thing we sell: check its own answer against fresh sources, section by section, before handing it to you.

Independent AI reviewers (5 models — Gemini Pro, Perplexity Pro, Sonnet, ChatGPT, Grok — asked separately to estimate honestly) put assembling equivalent coverage yourself at roughly 1.5–6 hours across 8–40+ prompts, and converged independently on the same pattern: most people think to ask about cost and logistics, few think to ask about the second-order risks until it's too late to matter.

These are independent AI-reviewer estimates, not a user study or a guarantee — treated with the same sourcing-honesty standard as every other figure this product produces.

India-specific data

The section below is specific to India as the destination — the numbers a report generated today actually uses. A future edition covering a different destination would carry its own equivalent set, not this one.

Each figure pairs a verified home-country wait time with TreatmentBrief's own engine cost data.

United Kingdom
NHS hip replacement median wait: 24.7 weeks
India: $4,000–$9,500, scheduled within days
UK Parliament / DHSC, March 2025

Russia — access, not just wait. The high-tech-care quota (VMP) runs 6–18 months for advanced cardiac and oncology procedures, and Russian OMS/VMP cannot legally reimburse a self-arranged trip abroad at all. India: cardiac surgery $4,500–$12,000, oncology $2,500–$10,000 — already the established route for an estimated 50,000+ Russian patients a year.

The payment question, answered upfront. Russian Visa, Mastercard, and Mir cards don't work in India, and direct SWIFT transfers face high rejection rates. Patients still get there — cash within customs limits, third-country wire transfers, or facilitator settlement — and we tell you this before you book, not after.

Federal Law No. 326-FZ; Russian Ministry of Health Orders No. 930n/648n; Central Bank of Russia bulletins; EU sanctions regulations on SWIFT access.

Each country measures "wait" on a different clock (UK: from GP referral; Canada/NZ: from decision-to-treat; Australia: from waitlist placement) — these stand alone, not as a ranked league table.

What this report is not

This is an independent research report — not medical, legal, immigration, or financial advice, and not a booking or facilitation service. Every report includes verification prompts so you can independently check the facts that matter most before you act on them.
