other entities that facilitate or incentivize medical care outside the
U.S. adhere to the following principles:
a. Medical care outside of the U.S. must be voluntary.

care should not inappropriately limit the diagnostic and
therapeutic alternatives that are offered to patients, or restrict
treatment or referral options.

institutions that have been accredited by recognized
international accrediting bodies (e.g., the Joint Commission
International or the International Society for Quality in
Health Care).
d. Prior to travel, local follow-up care should be coordinated
and financing should be arranged to ensure continuity of care
when patients return from medical care outside the US.
e. Coverage for travel outside the U.S. for medical care must
include the costs of necessary follow-up care upon return to
the U.S.
f. Patients should be informed of their rights and legal
recourse prior to agreeing to travel outside the U.S. for
medical care.
g. Access to physician licensing and outcome data, as well as
facility accreditation and outcomes data, should be arranged
for patients seeking medical care outside the U.S.
h. The transfer of patient medical records to and from
facilities outside the U.S. should be consistent with HIPAA
guidelines.
i. Patients choosing to travel outside the U.S. for medical
care should be provided with information about the potential
risks of combining surgical procedures with long flights and
vacation activities.
