Will There Be Any Additional Costs for CCSVI Liberation Treatment?

Additional transportation needs will be charged extra, or one can opt to use a taxi.

Patients will have 2 weeks of blood-thinning medication included in the package and will have a prescription written for an additional 2 weeks; patients can choose to purchase the additional medication in Costa Rica or, if they have a supportive home doctor, they can have the prescription re-written at home and filled. Many choose to do the latter if they have extended health benefits, but we feel it is imperative to check with your home doctor before coming to Costa Rica to avoid a problem when returning
