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 Philadelphia
The Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine regulates the practice of medicine through the licensure, registration, certification and discipline of physicians and surgeons across the Commonwealth [4].
Since July 2025, doctors who live in Pennsylvania can apply to care for patients in more than 30 other states and territories through the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact [4].
The city's Department of Public Health works on protecting and promoting the health of all Philadelphians [5].
Medicare, the federal programme, is health insurance for people 65 or older who meet citizenship or residency requirements, and some people are enrolled automatically while others sign up, depending on whether they already receive Social Security benefits [6].
Philadelphia had an estimated 1,574,281 residents on 1 July 2025, according to the United States Census Bureau [7].
The estimate has risen for two years running, from 1,565,822 in 2023 to 1,572,735 in 2024 and on to its 2025 level [7].
Arranging a visit from Philadelphia
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 Philadelphia, 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
We arrange calls at an hour that suits you in Philadelphia. After a long flight, a first appointment on the morning after you arrive usually leaves you clearer than one on the day itself, and your concierge will suggest it.
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.
Letters go to you in English, ready for a doctor in Philadelphia, and your results stay in your record after you leave. Next time you come, nothing has to be repeated.
