Care in New York, our nearest city to Chicago

From Chicago, our nearest city is New York, where your concierge arranges appointments with the best clinics and stays with you until every result is explained. Fees there start with private GP from $640, doctor at your home or hotel from $670, executive health from $16,000 and full body MRI from $2,750.

You can request an appointment today whether or not you are a member, and members have priority. One record holds your results and your plan, in New York and in London alike.

Care in London for people from Chicago

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Your concierge arranges specialists, scans and tests around the days you are in London, so a short visit holds everything you came for.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from the United States can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].

Health care in Chicago

Physicians in Illinois are licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which works with the State Medical Board under the state Medical Act. [4]

Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 or older who meet citizenship or residency requirements. [5]

Arranging a visit from Chicago

Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in Chicago, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

Calls with your doctor are set for a sensible hour in Chicago, once we know your time zone. If the flight is long, most people prefer to rest on the day they land and be seen the next morning, and your concierge plans for that.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

  • Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
  • A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
  • The question you most want answered, written down
  • The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Your letters are written in English for any doctor in Chicago to read, and your results remain yours to see once you are home. On your next visit, your doctor starts from the last one.
