We at the IPS-Germany follow a concept, that customises the services provided based on your specific need. You send us your medical history and documentation, or a mere summary of your health from your own perspective. These will be internally reviewed, before they are passed on to a number of hospitals and specialists listed in our portfolio.

After evaluating these documents, they will draw up examination and treatment plans tailored to your needs, which our case management then forwards to you, laying out the options you have. The Case Management department will assist you step by step, answering questions, clarifying what is yet unclear and taking on uncertainties before they occur.

Opposite to other service providers in medical tourism and international health-care services we do not display the cost for medical services in Germany on our website. Medical services in Germany are calculated based on the so called “Diagnostic-Related Groups” (DRG) for inpatient treatment and “German Medical Fee Index” (GOÄ) for outpatient treatment. The source data for these calculations are the patients individual conditions and characteristics. Thus it is not just impossible to announce a final price for the sought treatment, but also ethically questionable. This is why we categorically refrain from displaying treatment cost on our website. However you are free to reach out to us directly, so we can process your request based on your individual characteristics and acquire professionally calculated cost estimates for the treatment you are looking to receive.
