How do I pay a Turkish hospital from abroad, and are payment plans available?

You pay the hospital directly — by international bank transfer, card at the hospital's own cashier, or cash — and only after you have reviewed and approved an itemized written quote; OncologyIstanbul never takes patient payments and never asks for a deposit. Payment is normally in the hospital's quoted currency, so confirm the currency and whether card or wire is accepted before you travel. Whether a specific hospital offers installments or a payment plan varies hospital by hospital and is not something the service arranges or can promise — ask the hospital directly and get any plan in writing as part of the quote. Be wary of anyone asking you to pay an agency or coordinator upfront before you have even seen a quote; that is the pattern to avoid, not the normal process. Patients paying from Russia and the CIS have a separate corridor guide.
