As a medical tourism facilitator, partnering with overseas healthcare providers is crucial for your business. But what should be in your contract with these providers? Here are four essential clauses to include to ensure a smooth partnership and protect your interests.
Expectations of Care and Facility Standards
Outline what you expect from the healthcare provider in terms of patient care. List specific requirements, like working only with licensed and accredited doctors, and the facilities’ cleanliness and equipment standards. This ensures both sides understand the level of service patients will receive when they travel for treatment.
Payment Terms and Percentage
Clearly define how and when you’ll be paid. If you’re working on a percentage basis, specify the rate in your contract. Also, establish the payment timeframe—for example, within 10, 15, or 30 days after the procedure is completed. This avoids any confusion on when you can expect compensation.
Indirect Referral Clause
Consider including a clause for indirect referrals. If a patient you refer travels with a companion who also decides to get a procedure, or if they later refer a friend or family member, ensure you’re compensated for these additional clients. This clause helps you earn from referrals beyond the initial patient.
Additional Terms for a Solid Agreement
While there are many details to cover in contracts, these core elements lay a strong foundation. Setting clear terms can make your partnership with overseas healthcare providers smooth and beneficial for both parties.
Make sure your agreements are clear and detailed, covering all key areas to avoid any misunderstandings in your partnerships.
