This overview helps you understand the overall positioning before diving into detailed cost breakdowns.

A typical BMI test in Cologne can cost several hundred euros, whereas an Istanbul clinic may offer the same service at a reduced price plus accommodation options. In Cologne, patients... ten pay for the test itself, a separate specialist fee, and additional administrative charges. In Istanbul, the quoted price frequently includes the test, a brief consultation, and a night in a modest hotel, creating a more predictable budget. When factoring in travel expenses, the overall out‑of‑pocket amount for a Turkish stay can still be lower than staying in Cologne, especially when the patient takes advantage of package deals.
