What to Bring

1. Identification Documents

Make sure to bring valid identification to verify your identity and complete registration:

  • For Turkish citizens: National ID (T.C. Kimlik Kartı)

  • For international patients: Passport (with valid visa, if required)

  • A copy of your passport is also recommended in case it’s needed for insurance or billing purposes

2. Health Insurance Documents (if applicable)

If you’re using health insurance:

  • Bring your insurance card or certificate

  • Any authorization letter, treatment guarantee, or claim form issued by your insurance company

  • Contact information of your insurance representative in case the hospital needs to confirm coverage

Note: If you’re unsure about insurance coverage, our patient coordinators can assist you before your appointment.

3. Medical Records and Test Results

To avoid duplicate testing and help your doctor fully understand your medical history, bring:

  • Recent blood tests, imaging results (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound)

  • Specialist reports or surgical history from other hospitals

  • Medication prescriptions

  • Allergy test results

  • Vaccination records (especially for children, international travelers, or surgery patients)

If your records are in a different language, having a translated summary in English or Turkish is helpful but not mandatory.

4. Medications

  • Bring a list of all medications you currently take, including:

    • Dosage and frequency

    • Brand or generic name

    • Herbal or over-the-counter supplements

  • If you’re staying overnight, bring your own medications in original packaging

Important: Let your doctor know if you take blood thinners, insulin, heart medications, or anything that may affect your procedure.
