What it costs. All of it.
In America, you can't get a price. You call the hospital, you ask what a knee costs, and nobody — not the front desk, not billing, not your own insurer — will give you a straight number until the bill arrives and it's too late to argue.
Thailand is the opposite. Clinics post their prices on the wall. Hospitals publish rate cards. They run promotions and openly undercut each other, because here, price is something you're allowed to know. That transparency is the whole reason care costs a fraction of what it does back home — and it's the thing Defiant is built around.
So here's our half of the deal, in the same spirit: exactly what we charge, in public, with no markup hidden inside a "package."
How we price — radical transparency
- You always see the clinic's real price. We gather actual quotes from multiple
- Our fee is a flat, published number — not a cut of your procedure. We don't
- If a clinic pays us a referral fee, that's their cost, not added to yours —
clinics so you watch the price battle happen. We don't bury it.
make more when you spend more, so we have zero reason to steer you to the expensive room. We route you to the best clinic, not the highest-paying one.
and we'll tell you which ones do.
That's the entire pitch: the straight-dealing broker America won't give you, in the one country that already runs on posted prices.

Why not just DIY for free?
You can — the whole site is free, and we mean it (see the prices, the guides, the VA-FMP walkthrough). The pack and the concierge exist for the two things a website can't do: a real translator in the room, and someone who's done this a hundred times handling the parts that go wrong. Pay for that, or don't. Either way you'll know the real price — which is more than America ever told you.
Every figure here is a published Defiant rate. Clinic and procedure prices are indicative ranges confirmed in writing before you book — see the individual procedure pages. We are a concierge, not a healthcare provider.
