Medical Trip Cost Planner
Add up your written quotes, flights and stay to see whether treatment in Penang costs less than at home
How do I work out whether treatment in Penang is worth it?
Get a written quote from a Penang hospital and one from home, then add your flights and the nights you will need to stay. If the Penang total is lower, the trip saves you money. Ask your surgeon how long to stay before flying home.
Use the same currency in every box.

Why do I have to enter the prices myself?
Penang hospitals publish very few procedure prices; most give a written quote once they have seen your medical reports. A figure we guessed would look precise and be wrong for your case, so the planner adds up the numbers you have: your quotes, your flights and your stay.
What should a written quote include?
Ask what the quote covers: surgeon and anaesthetist fees, the hospital stay and room type, implants or devices, medicines, tests before and after, and follow-up visits. Ask what happens to the price if you need to stay longer.
Which currency should I use?
Use one currency for every box. If your Penang quote is in ringgit and your home quote is in another currency, convert one of them at the rate your bank or card will charge you.
What does the planner leave out?
Only what you leave out. Add travel insurance, medicines, physiotherapy, meals and local transport under "Other costs" so the comparison is fair.
