Cost of Alzheimer's Treatment in Cuba for UK Patients

Understanding the Cost for UK Patients

The cost of Alzheimer's treatment in Cuba for UK patients is determined individually after medical review, based on cognitive stage, program duration (4-8 weeks), and medical needs. SMC Salud provides transparent pricing with a detailed breakdown.

UK Alzheimer's care costs for comparison: • Private cognitive therapy — £80-150/session (typically 1 session/week = £4,160-7,800/year) • Private memory care home — £1,000-1,800/week (£52,000-93,600/year) • In-home carer (live-in) — £800-1,200/week (£41,600-62,400/year) • Day care — £75-150/day • Medications — £50-200/month (NHS prescription charge or private) • NHS therapy — Free but limited (1-2 sessions/week, waiting lists)

Despite these costs, the NHS does not provide intensive multidisciplinary cognitive rehabilitation (4-6 hours daily). Cuba fills this gap.

Payment Methods and Insurance for UK Patients

The Cuban program is all-inclusive: neurological assessment, NeuroEPO, intensive daily therapy (4-6 hours/day), pharmacological management, caregiver education, accommodation, meals, English interpreters, comprehensive medical report, and telemedicine follow-up.

Payment options for UK patients: • International bank transfer in GBP — SMC Salud accepts GBP transfers, making payment straightforward for UK patients. • Secure online gateway — Visa and MasterCard accepted. • International bank transfer in EUR — Also accepted.

Insurance and NHS: • The NHS does not fund treatment in Cuba. • Private health insurance (Bupa, AXA, etc.) may provide partial reimbursement — check your policy for overseas medical treatment coverage. • The comprehensive medical documentation provided by SMC Salud may support insurance claims.
