Decision tool
Compare two surgery quotes line by line.
A lower package price can simply contain fewer services. Ask both providers to put the same categories in writing.

| Revision / complication policy | Included / separate? | Included / separate? |
| Hotel, transport or recovery-house services | Included / separate? | Included / separate? |

Keep travel services separate from clinical value.
Airport pickup, accommodation or a recovery house may be useful, but they should not substitute for clinician identity, facility information, informed consent, follow-up or a clear clinical quote.
