Becoming a Patient
To help our team recommend the most comprehensive plan of care for your child, please send an email to CHSTinternationalprogram@childrens.com that includes:
Completed International Intake Form (pdf) (View in Spanish (pdf)) and any documentation requested within it
Completed Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (pdf) (View in Spanish (pdf))
Completed Request for Release of Protected Health Information (pdf) (View in Spanish (pdf))
Your child’s medical records, translated into English
Once received, we will carefully evaluate the information and provide you with an initial plan of care, as well as an estimated cost of care, which must be paid in full before services can be scheduled or rendered.
Please keep in mind that depending on your citizenship, you may also need to obtain a medical visa to be admitted into the United States for medical care. Learn more about the application process on the U.S. State Department website.
Payment Information
Please note that services cannot be scheduled or completed until Children’s Health receives full payment for the proposed services. Additionally, costs associated with international travel, including local lodging, food and transportation expenses, are the responsibility of the patient family.
