What Medical Records Should You Prepare Before a Regenerative Medicine Consultation?

Before a regenerative medicine consultation, prepare a written summary of your relevant medical history, a current medication and supplement list, and any existing diagnosis or lab reports you have — your physician reviews these directly, and having them ready simply helps that review happen efficiently, not automatically in your favor.

What to prepare, specifically

A written summary of your relevant medical history — including any conditions your physician should know about — is the most useful single document to prepare. A current list of medications and supplements, including any blood thinners or hormone-related prescriptions, is equally important, since some medications are relevant to candidacy for specific treatments. Any existing diagnosis, recent bloodwork, or imaging you already have is helpful context, though none of it is required to begin a review. Our International Patient Guide describes what your eligibility review is built around.

What if you don't have a specific document

Not having a specific document doesn't stop your review from starting. Recent bloodwork or imaging is helpful when available, but a review can begin without it, and your physician will advise if a specific additional test is needed for your case.

Why format and language matter

Records in a language other than English or Japanese are still useful to bring, though a brief summary in English or Japanese alongside the original can make your consultation more efficient. Our coordination team supports consultations in English, Japanese, and Mandarin, so you can discuss your records directly with your physician rather than relying only on written translation.

What preparing records does and doesn't decide

Preparing thorough records helps your physician conduct an accurate, efficient review — it does not decide the outcome of that review in advance. Some patients are advised to delay treatment or not proceed at all after this review, regardless of how complete their records were, and that's a normal, expected outcome of an honest process. Our Safety & Regulation overview and FAQ page both describe what this review does and doesn't determine.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my medical records translated before my consultation?

Not necessarily — a brief English or Japanese summary alongside your original records can help, and consultations themselves are supported in English, Japanese, and Mandarin.

What if I don't have recent bloodwork or imaging?

That's fine — recent lab reports are helpful but not required to begin a review. Your physician will advise if further testing is needed for your case.

Does having complete records guarantee I'll be approved for treatment?

No. Preparing records helps your physician conduct an accurate review — it doesn't determine the outcome. Some patients are advised to delay treatment or not proceed at all after review.

What medication information should I include?

A current list of medications and supplements you're taking, including any blood thinners or hormone-related prescriptions, since some medications are relevant to candidacy for specific treatments.

Should I send my records before booking travel?

Yes — records are reviewed as part of your eligibility review, which should be complete before travel is arranged, not after.
