Yes. Under current health-tourism regulations in Türkiye, complication insurance is mandatory for international patients receiving treatment within the authorized health-tourism framework. This insurance is included in all compliant medical tourism packages. 

The complication insurance covers medically necessary re-treatment arising from complications related to authorized medical procedures performed in Türkiye under the health-tourism framework.

Coverage mainly applies to the following procedure groups, subject to the policy terms and limits:

• Dental treatments
• Dental implant treatments
• Hair transplant procedures
• Eye treatments and surgeries
• Orthopedic surgery
• Gynecology procedures
• General surgery
• ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgery
• Chest surgery
• Pediatric surgery
• Cardiovascular surgery
• Extended plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures
• Organ and tissue transplantation procedures 

Coverage applies only if a complication is directly related to the original treatment and re-treatment is deemed medically necessary, in accordance with the insurance policy.

The exact scope, exclusions, coverage limits, and validity period are defined in the insurance policy and certificate issued to the patient, which always take precedence over general information. 

In Türkiye, health-tourism complication insurance packages are typically valid for 6 months starting from the policy commencement date. The exact validity period may vary depending on:

• The type of treatment or procedure
• The insurance provider
• The specific policy issued

The official insurance policy and certificate provided to the patient clearly state the validity period, coverage limits, and conditions, and these documents always take precedence over general information. 

Insurance prices vary by procedure, patient profile, and coverage level. The complication insurance premium is included in your treatment quote and shown in your cost breakdown before booking. Different plans (such as Standard vs VIP) may have different premiums.

Age limits are 0 and 75 and persons of 75 years of age and over are excluded from insurance coverage. Policy production is made by using passport number.

The insurance policy is valid for the treatment of complications arising from surgeries, interventions, and medical treatments performed within the territory of the Republic of Türkiye after the policy commencement date. In addition, minor interventions and medical treatments related to early complications, such as wound discharge or infections related to the medical intervention or surgery, that occur after the insured has returned to their home country are also covered, provided that these treatments do not require the patient to travel back to Türkiye. Coverage limits and conditions are specified in the insurance policy and certificate. 

VIP Complication Insurance covers early complications that may arise within seven (7) days after discharge from the hospital following a medical procedure or surgery performed on the insured. Standard Complication Insurance, on the other hand, does not cover these early complications. All of our packages include VIP Complication Insurance by default, unless the patient specifically requests otherwise. 

The insurance premium is paid by the patient and is included in the overall treatment package or listed as a separate item. The clinic or medical coordinator arranges the policy, but the cost is borne by the patient. 

If a complication occurs after treatment and re-treatment is deemed medically necessary, the related costs are covered by the insurance provider in accordance with the policy terms. This typically includes medical re-treatment and, where applicable, eligible expenses such as accommodation and flights. 

The insurance provider covers the eligible costs in line with the policy conditions. The patient is not financially responsible for covered expenses once the claim is approved. 

Complication insurance is arranged through licensed Turkish insurance companies authorized to provide health-tourism coverage, such as Demir Sağlık ve Hayat Sigorta A.Ş. , which is commonly used by clinics and medical coordinators in Türkiye. 

Patients should keep all medical reports, treatment records, invoices, receipts, and insurance documents in case they are required for insurance claims or legal matters. 

Yes. Insurance coverage terms, conditions, limits, and inclusions are determined by the insurance provider and may be updated or amended from time to time. While we aim to keep all information accurate and up to date, the insurance company reserves the right to make changes to its policies. In such cases, the official insurance policy and certificate issued to the patient will always take precedence, and we cannot be held liable for changes made by the insurance provider. 

No. Complication insurance covers medically necessary re-treatment due to complications. It does not cover aesthetic dissatisfaction or elective revision procedures. 

A complication is an unexpected medical condition requiring treatment for health or safety reasons.

A revision is a corrective or additional procedure requested for aesthetic, functional, or personal preference reasons and is not classified as a complication. 

No. Not all treatments include a guarantee. Medical and aesthetic outcomes vary between patients and depend on individual healing, anatomy, and adherence to aftercare instructions. 

Where applicable, guarantees are procedure-specific and determined by the clinic, physician, or material manufacturer (for example, dental restorations or implants). Any applicable guarantees are provided in writing before treatment. 

All revision policies and guarantees, if applicable, are outlined in the treatment plan, written agreement, or clinic documentation provided prior to treatment. 

Yes. All patients receive written and verbal aftercare instructions specific to their treatment. These instructions must be followed carefully to support proper healing and recovery. 

If you experience any issues after returning home, you should reach out to your medical coordinator immediately. Early communication helps assess whether the issue is part of normal healing or requires medical attention. 

Yes. Follow-up care is part of the treatment process. Depending on the procedure, this may include remote follow-ups, photo or video evaluations, and remote medical guidance where necessary. 

If a complication occurs and re-treatment is deemed medically necessary, it will be handled according to the mandatory health tourism complication insurance and the terms of the insurance policy. 

Yes. Minor early complications that do not require travel back to Türkiye may be treated in your home country, subject to insurance policy terms. 

Yes. Prior to treatment, patients are required to sign informed consent forms explaining the procedure, potential risks, expected outcomes, and alternatives. This is a legal and medical requirement. 

Yes. Patient rights in Türkiye are protected under national health legislation and applicable international regulations governing medical and health tourism services. 

The clinic and the treating physician are solely responsible for the medical treatment, diagnosis, and clinical decisions. Medical services are provided directly by licensed healthcare professionals. 

Patient data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and medical confidentiality regulations. Medical information is shared only with authorized parties involved in your care. 

Patients have the right to refuse or withdraw consent at any stage before treatment. In such cases, the treatment will not proceed, and applicable cancellation or refund terms may apply. 

In Türkiye the electricity supply is 220–240V at 50Hz, and the standard plug types are Type C and Type F (European two-pin plugs). Travelers from countries using different plug types or voltages may need a plug adapter or a voltage converter. 

Yes, you can drive in Türkiye, provided you meet the requirements.

• Driver’s license: A valid foreign driving license is accepted for short stays (typically up to 6 months).

• Documents: Carry your passport, license (and IDP if applicable), rental agreement, and insurance at all times.
• Road rules: Drive on the right, seatbelts are mandatory, and speed limits are strictly enforced.

Vehicles in Turkey are left hand drive as driving is on the right-hand side of the road. Roads are generally well maintained, highways are modern, and signage is clear, especially in major cities and tourist areas. 

Yes, you can use credit and debit cards throughout Türkiye.

• Widely accepted: Visa and Mastercard are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, clinics, and hospitals.
• ATMs: Easily accessible across cities and tourist areas for cash withdrawals.
• Extra fees: You may be charged additional banking or handling fees for card payments.

We recommend to use cash in Turkish Lira (TRY) when making payments in Türkiye, for the following valid and practical reasons:

• Avoid extra fees: Clinics, hospitals, other businesses and even ATM’s may apply extremely high (upto 10%) additional banking and card handling fees for credit/debit card payments. Paying in cash helps you avoid these extra costs.
• Better exchange value: Paying directly in Turkish Lira prevents unfavorable exchange rates or dynamic currency conversion applied by banks and card providers.
• Wider acceptance: Cash is universally accepted, including in taxis, small shops, local restaurants, and other businesses where card payments may be limited.

Yes, you can withdraw money from ATMs throughout Türkiye.

• Widely available: ATMs are easily accessible in cities, airports, shopping centers, and tourist areas.
• International cards accepted: Most ATMs support major international debit and credit cards.
• Local currency: Withdrawals are made in Turkish Lira (TRY). At some ATMs you may withdraw EUR and USD as well.
• Fees: Your bank and the local ATM provider may apply withdrawal or conversion fees, depending on your card and bank policy.

Withdrawing cash locally is a convenient way to access Turkish Lira during your stay. However, we do recommend you to inform your bank in advance that you will be travelling to Turkey as some banks may automatically block your card after the first use in an attempt to combat fraud.

The local currency in Türkiye is the Turkish Lira (TRY).

Banknotes are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 TRY, while coins are issued in 5, 10, 25, and 50 kuruş, as well as 1 TRY.

Foreign currency can be exchanged into Turkish Lira at banks, hotels, and exchange offices. However, exchange offices at airports are not recommended due to their lower exchange rates and higher commissions. For better rates, it is advisable to use local exchange offices within the city, which typically offer more favorable terms. 

You can obtain a mobile SIM card easily in Türkiye by following these guidelines:

• Local mobile operator stores (recommended): Visit official stores of Turkcell, Vodafone Turkey, or Türk Telekom in city centers or shopping malls.
• Ask specifically for a tourist SIM: Tourist SIM packages are designed for short stays and typically include generous data allowances with simple registration.
• Avoid airport SIM cards: SIM cards sold at airports are not recommended, as they are often up to three times more expensive than those purchased from local shops in the city.
• Important note about eSIMs: Due to recent regulatory changes, several international eSIM providers may be blocked or become unusable in Türkiye. For reliable connectivity, a physical tourist SIM from a local operator is strongly recommended.
• Documents required: A valid passport is mandatory for SIM registration.

Purchasing a tourist SIM from an official local operator ensures stable service, proper registration, and fair pricing during your stay. 

English is widely spoken in Türkiye, especially in major cities and tourist areas.

• Tourism & healthcare staff: Hotel staff, clinic and hospital personnel, tour operators, and airport staff generally speak good English.
• Urban areas: In large cities and tourist destinations, many people working in restaurants, shops, and services have a basic to good level of English.
• Outside tourist areas: In smaller towns or rural areas, English may be more limited, but people are usually helpful and accustomed to assisting visitors.

Overall, international visitors can comfortably communicate in English during their stay, particularly within the healthcare and tourism sectors.
