How to Finance Your Cancer Treatment in Hungary

Medical Tourism

Seeking cancer treatment abroad can be a life-changing decision — and Hungary has become an increasingly popular destination for its high-quality care and competitive costs. But while treatment may be more affordable than in many other countries, patients often face a common challenge: how to pay for it all upfront.

This guide will walk you through your financing options, explain what “patient financing” means in simple terms, and show how Better by MTA supports you through every step of your financial planning — without promoting any specific lenders or financial products.

Why Financing May Still Be Needed — Even for Affordable Treatment

Hungary is known for offering excellent medical services at a fraction of the cost compared to countries like the U.S. or U.K. However, even with these savings, cancer treatment can still be a major financial burden. Between diagnostic tests, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, hotel stays, and travel, the costs can quickly add up.

Most clinics require payment in full before treatment begins, and insurance rarely covers care abroad. That’s where financing options become essential.

What Is Patient Financing?

Patient financing is a way to break large treatment costs into manageable monthly payments. Instead of paying thousands of dollars upfront, you can spread the cost over time, making it more accessible and less stressful.

Think of it like paying for a car or a home appliance — you still receive the care you need now, while paying in smaller installments later.

Can I Finance My Treatment Abroad?

Yes — financing is increasingly common in medical travel. Whether you’re seeking cancer care, dental surgery, or another procedure in Hungary, options are often available to help international patients cover the cost.

While financing availability depends on your personal financial situation and the terms set by potential providers or third-party services, many patients are eligible for some type of structured payment support.

What If I Don’t Have Insurance?

Many people seeking care abroad do so without insurance coverage, either because their policy doesn’t include international treatment or because they’re uninsured entirely. That’s why flexible financing options are so critical.

Better by MTA helps patients understand their real costs up front and plan accordingly — so they can make informed decisions even if they’re paying entirely out of pocket.

Are Monthly Payment Plans Available?

Yes — monthly payment plans are one of the most common solutions for patients looking to receive overseas care. While specific terms vary, they usually allow patients to:

  • Pay in predictable installments
  • Choose a payment period that fits their budget
  • Avoid large, one-time charges

Understanding whether monthly payments are available, and what terms they come with, is a key part of your treatment planning — and that’s where Better by MTA steps in.
