    Organisations that refer patients have a separate partner programme.

Documents

Have these ready before you start

Reports in any language are fine; you do not need to translate them.

Your ticks stay on this device only; they are not sent to us.

    The preliminary review fee is shown during the application, paid at the last step of the form.

  • Card or transfer

    Pay by card on the secure TropiPay page or by bank transfer.

  • After payment

    Once the payment is confirmed, your documents are translated and sent to the doctor.

  • Your information stays private

    Only the team handling your file and the doctor see your documents.

Refund rule: if you withdraw after paying but before your file is sent to the doctor, your fee is refunded. Once your file has been sent to the doctor, the fee is not refunded, whatever the doctor's opinion. If the doctor asks for more documents, you do not pay an additional preliminary review fee.

Questions

What people ask before applying

What if I stop halfway?

Your draft is saved. When you come back to this page on the same device, choose “Back to my saved draft” to continue.

What is the difference between the quick and the detailed application?

Both lead to the same medical review and cost the same. In the detailed application you give all the details before payment. In the quick application you give the basics and upload your documents on one screen; after payment our team reviews your file item by item, completes anything missing together with you and passes it to the doctor ready for review.

Do my reports need to be translated?

No. We translate your reports into Spanish; you do not need to do anything.

Can I apply without all my documents?

Yes. Start with what you have; if the doctor needs more, we will tell you and you can add it in the patient portal.

What happens after I pay?

Once the payment is confirmed, we check your documents, translate them into Spanish and send them to the specialist in Cuba. If your documents are complete, our target for the first specialist review is about 4 business days. If the doctor asks for more documents, it may take longer.

Does applying commit me to treatment?

No. After you hear the doctor’s opinion, you decide whether to travel to Cuba.

Can a relative apply for the patient?

Yes. The person who fills in the form is our contact, and all messages about the file go to them.

Are your reports ready?

Complete your application in a few minutes. If you have questions first, write to us on WhatsApp.
