How we conduct medical value travel, written down.
These are the commitments the Medvis International Fertility Desk holds itself to with every international patient — not aspirations, but rules our own systems enforce. Where we fall short of an accreditation we don't yet hold, we say so on this page rather than implying it.
Our commitments
Six things we owe every patient who trusts us with their care.
Transparent, itemized pricing
Every quote is line by line — treatment, medication, stay — before you decide anything. You pay the treatment centre directly, at their published rates; Medvis never handles your treatment money and adds no hidden markup to what the centre charges.
No outcome guarantees
We will never promise a pregnancy, a cure or a specific result to close a case. Clinical outcomes are never certain, and a facilitator who promises one is telling you what you want to hear, not what is true.
The patient chooses the hospital
When more than one accredited centre can treat you, every option we present — and the reasoning behind our recommendation — is recorded, and the final choice is logged as yours. That record exists specifically so a desk cannot quietly steer every patient to whichever partner pays the highest commission.
Consent you can withdraw, in writing
We record when you consent to your records being shared with a treating centre, and we record it again if you withdraw that consent. Withdrawal blocks every future disclosure from that point on — it doesn't rewrite what already happened, but nothing more moves without your say again.
Verified accreditation before we name a partner
We do not present a centre as an option until its statutory registration — the ART National Registry number, for a fertility centre — is on file and checked. An unverified or expired registration is treated as a gap that blocks the desk from taking a real patient, not a detail to fix later.
Statutory declines we will never soften
Surrogacy and sex selection for foreign nationals are refused automatically, with no manual override — because Indian law refuses them, not because Medvis has an opinion. If this is what you need, we will tell you plainly rather than waste your time.
What Indian law already decides for us
The declines below are not our house rules — they are the statute's.
We name the Act rather than assert a policy of our own, because a patient deserves to know a refusal comes from the law, not from Medvis's discretion.
Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021
Sets the age bands we screen against before a fertility case proceeds — the woman between 21 and 50, the man between 21 and 55 — and confines ART to a commissioning couple or, in defined cases, a woman on her own. An intake outside those bands is declined; an unmarried intake is routed to a human decision, never an automatic refusal.
Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021
Confines surrogacy in India to eligible Indian intending couples or intending women. Foreign nationals fall outside that permitted class, so we do not facilitate surrogacy for an international patient, without exception.
Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994
Prohibits sex selection before or after conception. We decline it outright, for every patient.
Code of conduct — common questions
What patients ask before they trust us with their care.
Is Medvis NABH accredited for medical value travel?
Not yet. We are actively working toward NABH's Medical Value Travel and Tourism (MVTF) accreditation. Until that accreditation is granted, we hold ourselves to its intent anyway — the fair-distribution record, the verified-accreditation gate and the consent trail described on this page already run in our own systems, not only on paper.
Will you guarantee my treatment will succeed?
No, and we will tell you so plainly if you ask. Nobody honest can guarantee a clinical outcome. What we can promise is an itemized quote, an accredited centre and a documented process — not a result.
Can I pick my own hospital, or do you assign one?
You choose. When there is more than one suitable, accredited option, we present all of them side by side — cost, distance, what each offers — and record which one you picked and why. That record is what stops a commission from quietly deciding your care instead of you.
What happens if I withdraw my consent partway through?
From that moment, we stop sharing your record with the treating centre or anyone else — every future disclosure is blocked. It does not erase what was already shared while your consent was in effect, and you can grant consent again later if you change your mind.
Do you arrange surrogacy or sex selection for international patients?
No, for either. Surrogacy for foreign nationals is not permitted under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 2021, and sex selection is prohibited outright under the PCPNDT Act, for every patient regardless of nationality. We decline both without exception and will say so upfront rather than let a conversation run on false hope.
Ask us to point to the mechanism, not just the promise.
If any commitment on this page isn't clear, ask us how it actually works before you commit to travel. We would rather answer a hard question now than have you find out the answer later.
