Our Company Service Framework Terms and Conditions

CONTRACT RELATING TO MEDICAL TREATMENT AS A MEDICAL FACILITATOR

Our goal at abcskyhealth is to provide our clients with exceptional high-quality medical services in Turkey. From the initial consultation to the client’s return home, abcskyhealth acts as a facilitator throughout the client’s journey. We are committed to the highest ethical, legal, and financial standards.

Before agreeing to any surgery, we encourage patients to express their concerns and make an informed decision in consultation with the specialist. The decision to proceed with surgery is made in consultation with the patient and a medical specialist. Medical professionals/specialists are all qualified and registered with their respective associations and bodies, and as such, they follow their professional codes of conduct and use an informed consent process. Informed-consent forms are used to communicate information about a proposed surgical procedure treatment, as well as disclosure of risks and alternative treatment(s).

The informed-consent process attempts to define risk disclosure principles that should generally meet the needs of most patients in most situations. However, informed consent documents should not be regarded as exhaustive in terms of defining other methods of care and risks encountered. Your surgeon may give you additional or different information based on all of the facts in your specific case and the current state of medical knowledge. Documents of informed consent are not intended to define or serve as the standard of medical care. Medical care standards are determined based on all of the facts in a specific case and are subject to change as scientific knowledge and technology advance and practice patterns evolve.

The following points highlight the client’s and abcskyhealth’s obligations:

Abcskyhealth acts as a medical facilitator and makes no medical evaluations, decisions, or comments, and is unable to offer a guarantee for the outcome of your treatment. Abcskyhealth reminds you that all surgery has risks and limitations, which may include dissatisfaction with the results. Before signing any paperwork, you and the specialist should agree on the expected outcome of your surgery and your expectations of the results. You should talk about alternative treatments and make sure you fully understand the risks of the procedures.

We always encourage open dialogue as a means of resolving issues, and as a medical facilitator, we will address any complaints on your behalf and, if necessary, refer them to the appropriate parties. If a dispute arises, the surgeon is only liable under Turkish Republic Law if the litigation takes place in Turkey. If a medical dispute arises, only the surgeon is liable, and in the event of litigation, the Turkish Judiciary and Turkish Republic Law will be used to resolve the dispute.

With honesty and integrity, we deal with patients, payers, suppliers, and providers. The procedure agreed upon by you and the hospitals and surgeons with whom we are affiliated will be included in the quote. All procedures should be thoroughly understood, and if you have any questions, please seek clarification.

Please be aware that all surgery carries some risk, and in the case of cosmetic surgery and other treatments, there may be some dissatisfaction with the results.

We will not be held liable for any medical procedure disagreements. Our liability is limited to a legal duty of care in our capacity as a third-party facilitator.

If you and the surgeon have a disagreement, it will be resolved in the country where your surgery was performed.

Your cosmetic surgery will be performed at a fixed price that will be agreed upon with you before the procedure begins.

Client’s Responsibilities and Obligations

Abcskyhealth takes extensive measures to ensure that the personal and medical information provided to us is complete and accurate. However, the accuracy of the information is largely dependent on the details provided by the client. With this in mind, abcskyhealth requests that the client notify us of any omissions or errors in your personal and medical information.

Medical and surgical advice provided by abcskyhealth is intended to be accurate and up to date to the best of our knowledge; however, any advice provided should be discussed and thoroughly understood with the surgeon before proceeding with treatments.

Necessary Information:

Abcskyhealth may collect necessary personal information, such as health or medical information. Necessary information will be used or disclosed only for the purpose for which it was given, and will be forwarded directly to the intended party, as required by law.

The medical information provided by abcskyhealth is intended solely for educational purposes. Information sent via email or other contacts should not be considered as a medical advice.

Medical Examination

The initial quote will be confirmed after the pre-surgery/treatment consultation before surgery. After receiving the medical history form and the clinic or other analysis requested by the surgeon or medical authority, abcskyhealth handles the initial consultations via e-mail, phone, or letter. Before deciding on surgery, abcskyhealth encourages you to ask all of your questions via e-mail or phone. It is worth noting that both you and the surgeon/professional are under no obligation until after your pre-operative consultation. abcskyhealth reminds you that all types of surgery/treatment have risks, including dissatisfaction with the results. You and the surgeon/professional must agree on the expected outcome of your surgery/treatment so that your expectations are reasonable. Any medical or surgical advice provided through the abcskyhealth website and service, even if we believe it is correct to the best of our ability, should be discussed with the Surgeon. If a dispute arises, the surgeon is only liable if the litigation is conducted in Turkey under Turkish law.

The quoted fee will be confirmed after the surgeon conducts additional medical evaluation. It includes the following costs for the chosen procedure: The surgeon, doctor, specialist anaesthesiologist, and private clinic/hospital stay for the required procedure, including all theatre charges, pre-medications, pre and postoperative consultations, and a non-refundable administration fee. It does not cover any additional medical expenses for medications or procedures that arise as a result of unforeseen complications.

Other Arrangements

The client has the right to withdraw from the Agreement at any time before the start of medical performance. If the provider is unable to meet the obligations to perform care performance based on the client’s medical findings and eligibility for the selected medical treatment, it may withdraw from the Agreement prior to the initiation of medical performance. If the client withdraws from the Agreement and decides not to proceed with the selected treatment, and/or if the doctor refuses to operate based on the patient’s medical findings that are insufficient to deliver optimum medical performance, and/or if certain medical findings increase the risks of treatment that the surgeon finds unacceptable, the patient is only required to pay the deposit and has the right to claim a refund of the payment he/she made (if made). If the withdrawal occurs before payment is made, the patient is only required to pay the deposit as well as the cost of accommodation and transportation services.

Discrepancy

In the event of a medical discrepancy or a dispute over the imputability of malpractice committed by the patient, the parties establish and agree that all judicial action must be taken by the patient against the surgeon/professional within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Turkey, and that action will not be extended towards abcskyhealth because it is a company that provides different professional options to the patient without practicing medicine professionally.
