International patients plan trips, not procedures. They need to know which day to arrive, where to go, when the procedure is, how many days of recovery to plan for and when they can fly home. A clinic that hands them that plan makes the decision easier.
This guide covers how to build a day-by-day itinerary. At the end, we explain how our referral network works.
- Patients book flights and lodging from your itinerary.
- Show each day: arrival, evaluation, procedure, recovery checkpoints, final visit, departure.
- Mark which dates are firm and which depend on recovery.
- No cost during our launch period: if your clinic already works this way, apply to our network in about five minutes.
What goes on the itinerary
- Arrival day and how the patient gets from the airport.
- Evaluation and pre-op tests, with addresses and times.
- Procedure day, including fasting and arrival time.
- Recovery days and scheduled checkups.
- Final visit and earliest recommended departure.
Firm versus flexible
Mark which dates are fixed and which depend on recovery. Suggest the patient book a flexible return fare. That one note prevents many stressful rebookings.
Practical extras
Lodging options near your clinic, accessibility notes, what a companion can do, and who to call at night. Keep it to one page in English. It’s the document the patient shows their family and employer.
Our network: how we send you patients
If your clinic already works this way, or wants to, you can receive patients through our network. HealthcareTrips.co is part of a network of English-language guides for patients researching treatment abroad, many of them considering Colombia.
- A patient contacts usThey read our guides and tell us about their case through our form or WhatsApp.
- We check and assignWe confirm the procedure, dates, budget and records. If the case is complete and fits your clinic, we send it to you.
- Your clinic quotesYour coordinator contacts the patient in English, with a price in USD. The medical and commercial relationship is between you and the patient.
Each case goes to one clinic at a time. If your clinic can’t take it or doesn’t reply within one business day, it goes to another approved partner.
What we ask of your clinic
What it costs
No cost while we build the network
If we send you a case during our launch period, you pay nothing for it. That way you can judge the quality of our referrals before any commitment.
Later on, partnership will become a paid marketing service. You’ll see the terms in writing and decide whether to continue before any charge. Medical fees always stay between your clinic and the patient.
Apply in three steps
It takes about five minutes. When you submit, you’ll see our direct WhatsApp and email so you can keep the conversation going. We reply within two business days.

No. It helps if you can recommend options, but we don’t require packages.
How much does it cost to join?
Nothing during our launch period. If we send you a case, you pay nothing for it. Later on, partnership will become a paid marketing service; you’ll see the terms in writing and decide whether to continue before any charge.
Do you guarantee a number of patients?
No. We send cases when they come in and fit your specialty and location. Be wary of anyone who promises volume.
