How to Get Seen at a Private Hospital
Contact the hospital's international patient services or call their English line directly — no GP referral required in Turkey's private system.
Book a specialist appointment online or by phone. Most premium hospitals have online booking in English.
Bring your passport, insurance documents (if applicable), and any previous medical records or test results.
At reception, request an English-speaking coordinator if one is not automatically assigned.
After your appointment, request copies of all results in both Turkish and English for your records.
Insurance Compatibility
- Most international health insurance policies (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa) are accepted at premium private hospitals.
- Always confirm direct billing is available before your appointment — this avoids paying upfront and claiming back.
- Turkish SGK (public insurance) is not accepted at fully private hospitals, but some hospital networks have both public and private sections.
- Acibadem and Memorial hospital groups have dedicated insurance desks for international claims.
- Keep all receipts and medical reports — required for insurance reimbursement if direct billing is unavailable.
