Reschedule: Rescheduling depends on hospital availability and timing. Hospital penalties may apply after confirmation cutoff, and added coordination time may be billed when the service scope materially expands.

Final hospital policy may vary by specialty service line.

How We Handle Safety, Privacy, Claims, and Images

Patient Stories and Claims

Patient stories are published with consent and disclosure notes. Some stories may include internal documentation checks, but they should not be interpreted as an independent third-party patient verification system.

Any voucher, fee reduction, or service benefit is disclosed on the testimonial or case card. Patient stories are labeled as documented stories or source-pending submissions rather than 'verified patient' claims.

Privacy and Data Handling

We collect only the minimum required information for treatment matching and logistics. Records are handled on a need-to-know basis by authorized coordination staff, shared only as needed for case review, and never sold.

  • Purpose: case evaluation, appointment coordination, and patient communication
  • Retention: inquiry data is retained for up to 24 months unless deletion is requested
  • Cross-border transfer: with patient consent, records may be shared with up to 3 shortlisted hospitals for case review and quote comparison

Medical Content Review

Medical pages are reviewed by a qualified clinical reviewer and show the latest review date.

DentalTripChina.com is a non-clinical coordination service. Clinical responsibility and treatment decisions remain with the treating hospital and licensed clinicians.
