The following is information about pre-departure procedures in order to take advantage of Proton Beam Therapy at the National Cancer Center in Seoul, South Korea via Patients With Passports.

To register for proton therapy treatment at the National Cancer Center, patients living outside South Korea should contact Patients With Passports at info@patientswithpassports.com, or by calling the toll-free telephone number +1 877-633-3591.
PwP will assign a personal case manager to carefully guide you through the treatment application process. The case manager will:
-- answer any questions you have about the NCC Proton Radiation Treatment Program
-- help gather and send to the NCC all the medical records necessary for the NCC to determine if proton therapy is appropriate
-- assist you in estimating the overall expense, by factoring in non-treatment costs for expenses like airfare, meals, domestic transportation, etc.
-- offer assistance with payment planning, including guidance in how to go about seeking payment authorization from private insurers or group healthcare plans
-- handle the treatment booking process, including scheduling of procedures to be complete over the first several days in Seoul, when the NCC must
conduct exams to certify a patient as fit for proton therapy, prepare an exact treatment plan, and make the necessary individualized equipment
(i.e. patient treatment pod, and proton beam aperture and compensator)
-- arrange accommodation
-- arrange airport pickup and a three-day orientation program upon arrival
-- assist patients in their pre-departure preparations

Tomorrow I’ll write a bit more about pre-departure information.
Have a good Tuesday.
Blessings,
