What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

International patients should obtain a valid visa for medical treatment, gather all medical records including sleep study results and imaging, and arrange for a medical interpreter if needed. It is also important to coordinate with the hospital for pre-travel consultations, secure travel insurance that covers post-surgical complications, and plan for a companion to assist during recovery. Ensuring clear communication with the surgical team about follow-up care and potential remote monitoring is essential for a smooth experience.
