MVM Care is not a clinic and does not replace a doctor. The boundary matters: we coordinate the medical travel route in Russia, while medical decisions are made only by licensed clinics and doctors.
Clear separation protects the patient. A family receives clear logistics and communication without medical promises from a coordination company that should not make them.
Why does this boundary matter?
In medical tourism, different roles can easily be mixed. A patient may ask about price, timing, diagnosis, visa, hotel, interpreter and transfer in the same conversation. Without clear boundaries, expectations become unsafe.
A safer model is simple: MVM Care handles coordination, preparation and communication. Medical decisions stay with the clinic. Visa and entry rules stay with official authorities.
What can MVM Care coordinate?
MVM Care can receive the initial inquiry, clarify country, language, treatment direction, dates, family details and travel expectations. We can prepare a document checklist, help structure the case summary and send the request to a relevant clinic.
MVM Care can also coordinate interpreter support, airport and clinic transfers, hotel area planning, visit schedule, clinic communication, partner case status and practical steps before travel.
What can only a clinic decide?
Only the clinic decides whether the patient is suitable for consultation, diagnostics, admission or treatment. The doctor reviews medical documents, asks additional questions, suggests a possible route and explains risks.
Final treatment price, medical prescriptions, contraindications and the decision to perform a procedure cannot be promised by MVM Care. Even a preliminary clinic estimate remains preliminary until the clinic confirms the terms in writing.
What should the patient know before paying a deposit?
The VIP Case & Trip Planning deposit pays for coordination work: intake, case preparation, clinic requests, route planning and communication. It is not a payment for treatment.
If the trip proceeds, the deposit can be credited toward the MVM Care coordination package. Medical services are paid to the clinic separately unless a written all-inclusive arrangement is confirmed.
What belongs to official authorities?
Visa rules, permitted stay, entry documents and border changes must be checked with official sources. A coordinator can guide the workflow and point to the right place to check, but cannot guarantee entry or visa approval.
For Russia, the patient should use official consular and e-visa sources when citizenship, route and dates affect the travel plan.

FAQ
Can MVM Care choose the best clinic?
MVM Care can suggest relevant options and send the request. The phrase "best clinic" is unsafe because suitability depends on the case, documents, availability and doctor review.
Can MVM Care name the exact medical price?
MVM Care can help request a preliminary estimate. The final medical price is confirmed by the clinic after reviewing the case and conditions.
Can the process start without medical files?
Yes. The first inquiry can start with basic information. Medical files are requested later, after the patient agrees to share documents with a clinic.
Next step
If you need a clear route, send an initial inquiry. MVM Care will separate coordination, medical and official questions so each one is handled by the right party.
Medical disclaimer: MVM Care does not provide medical care, diagnosis, prescriptions or guarantees of medical outcomes.
