When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neurology Consultation 5-night modeled trip | from $24 | ≈ $2,290 | ≈ $2,310 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.

Choosing between the options

- 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
- 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks

A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
