From research to a hospital request

Prepare the clinical file first, then understand how German hospital estimates work before sending a treatment request. The hospital still decides whether it can review or accept an individual case.

Need help organizing a treatment request?

If you want coordination after researching this hospital, send a short treatment request. Treat in Germany and EMEX Medical can clarify the case, the records needed and the appropriate hospital communication route.

Before sending a treatment request

Check the hospital's current submission instructions first. International offices commonly need a concise medical history and recent reports, and some departments may request imaging or pathology before deciding whether an appointment or treatment proposal can be offered.

Privacy: The treatment-request form accepts contact details and a brief health summary, but no document uploads. Do not submit passports, scans, pathology files or complete medical records in the first request; the coordinator can explain the appropriate secure route afterwards.
