The Facilitator Reality

Running a facilitator business is harder than it should be.

You bring the patients. You build the hospital relationships. You handle every step from inquiry to recovery. But the systems holding it all together haven’t kept up with how the modern facilitator actually works. We built Better to fix that.

01 — The cash flow trap

Commissions take weeks to arrive.

Hospitals pay on their schedule, not yours. International wires take time. Disputes drag on. Every patient you refer ties up working capital you could be using to grow. Your business runs on a 30 to 60 day delay you didn’t sign up for.

02 — The black box

You can’t see your own pipeline.

Once a patient leaves your inquiry stage, you’re guessing. Did the hospital follow up? Did the patient book? Did your commission get logged correctly? You’re running a business in the dark, reconciling spreadsheets against email threads and WhatsApp messages.

03 — The growth ceiling

You can only manage so many relationships alone.

Bringing on sub-agents and partner referrers should be easy. Tracking patients, splitting commissions, and keeping everyone aligned shouldn’t require a full-time operations person. Most facilitators stop growing because the next layer of complexity isn’t worth the headache.

04 — The trust problem

Patients hesitate at the wire transfer step.

You can have the best providers, the best prices, and the warmest follow-up. But when it’s time for a patient to send tens of thousands of dollars to a hospital in another country, deals stall. Without a trusted payment rail, every closed deal still feels uncertain.

What You Get

One platform for your entire business.

Whether you’re a solo facilitator with a few hospital partners or a growing agency, Better gives you the operating layer you need. Use it for patients you bring in yourself, patients sourced through Better, or both.

01 — Flagship

Get paid faster, on a Mastercard you control.

Better’s Mastercard payment infrastructure can deliver your commission to a branded Better Mastercard significantly faster than traditional international wires. Use it to spend, withdraw, or fund your next patient acquisition. The single change that transforms facilitator economics.

Payout speed depends on each hospital’s payment terms and contract structure. Better works with member hospitals to enable accelerated commission settlement, but specific timing is governed by the hospital agreement on file. Standard commission cycles still apply where hospitals have not opted into accelerated settlement. Every transaction’s payment timing is shown transparently in your dashboard.

Bring your own hospitals and clinics.

You already have provider relationships. Better helps you onboard them onto the platform alongside our existing 70+ member network. Manage your own provider partnerships through one system instead of scattered emails, contracts, and spreadsheets.

Use it for your existing patients.

Better is not just for patients sourced from the platform. Run your existing patient pipeline through Better too: intake, treatment matching, scheduling, payments, follow-up. One system for every patient, no matter where they came from.

Live patient pipeline dashboard.

See every patient, every stage, every dollar in real time. Inquiry, treatment matching, deposit, surgery, payment, commission. No spreadsheets. No phone tag. No black box.

Inbound leads from Better.

better.medicaltourism.com receives patient inquiries from around the world. Qualified leads can be routed to facilitators based on specialty, geography, and language. Additional demand on top of what you already generate.

Sub-agent network management.

Recruit and manage sub-agents inside the platform. Auto-split commissions across your network so everyone gets paid correctly without manual reconciliation. The leverage that turns one facilitator into a team.

Patient payment trust rail.

Patients pay through Better’s Mastercard-backed payment infrastructure. Funds are secured and tracked through every milestone. The trust signal that helps close the deals you used to lose at the international wire transfer step.

Onboarding and ongoing training.

Live onboarding session with our team. Modular training library inside the platform for you and your sub-agents. Quarterly business reviews on Growth and Elite tiers. We help you actually use the platform, not just sell it to you.

Real Outcomes

What facilitators do with the platform.

Three illustrative scenarios. Three different facilitator profiles. All running on Better.

Scenario · Cash Flow
Faster payouts
commission settlement
From slow wires to faster cards.
Solo dental tourism facilitator
Switched commission collection from traditional international wires to Better’s Mastercard rail with participating hospitals. Cash conversion sped up substantially, freeing working capital that funded the next quarter’s marketing.
Scenario · Network
1 → 64
active referrers in 9 months
Built a sub-agent network.
Latin America bariatric specialist
Started solo. Used Better to recruit 8 sub-agents, who in turn brought on additional referrers. Within 9 months, dozens of active referrers were sending patients into one consolidated pipeline.
Scenario · Conversion
Higher close rate
deposit-to-treatment
Patients trusted the rails.
European IVF facilitator network
Moved patient deposits from international wire transfers onto Better’s Mastercard payment infrastructure. The trust signal of paying through a Mastercard-branded rail helped reduce patient hesitation at the deposit step.

Scenarios shown are illustrative of typical Better facilitator workflows. Individual results vary. See full disclosures at the bottom of this page.

Common Questions

What facilitators ask before joining.

Can I bring my own hospitals, doctors, and clinics onto Better?
Yes. Better is built for facilitators to bring their existing provider relationships onto the platform alongside our 70+ member network. We help you onboard them and get them set up so you can manage all of your hospital partnerships through one system instead of email and WhatsApp.
Can I use Better for patients I bring in myself, or only patients sourced from Better?
Both. Most facilitators use Better for their entire patient pipeline. Patients you generate yourself, patients sourced through the platform, and patients sent by your sub-agents all flow into one dashboard. Use Better for intake, treatment matching, scheduling, payments, and follow-up regardless of where the patient originally came from.
How does the faster commission payout actually work?
Better’s payment infrastructure, built in partnership with Mastercard, can settle commissions to your branded Better Mastercard significantly faster than traditional international wires. The exact timing depends on each hospital’s payment terms and the commission contract you have with them. We work with member hospitals to enable accelerated settlement, and your dashboard shows the timing for every transaction transparently. See disclosures at the bottom of this page for details.
Do I have to be exclusive with Better?
No. You can keep your existing relationships and run Better alongside other systems. Most facilitators consolidate within the first 90 days because managing one dashboard is simpler than five spreadsheets, but it’s not required.
I’m a small operator. Is Better worth it for me?
Yes. The Starter tier at $1,500 per year is built specifically for solo facilitators and new agencies. You get the Mastercard payment infrastructure, the ability to bring your own hospitals onto the platform, the live pipeline dashboard, and access to inbound Better leads. Most small operators recoup their membership fee from a single accelerated payout cycle.
Can I bring my existing sub-agents onto Better?
Yes. Migrating your existing sub-agent relationships is one of the fastest wins. Better helps you onboard them, configure splits, and migrate their patient pipelines. Most Growth-tier members start with 5 to 10 existing relationships and grow from there.
What does Better take from each transaction?
For directly referred patients, you and your hospital negotiate the commission and Better simply processes the payment. For patients sourced through Better’s platform, the standard split is published in your member agreement. We pass through credit card and wire processing fees at cost (shown line-by-line on every transaction). No layered or hidden fees.
What happens if I don’t see results in my first year?
Memberships are 12-month commitments and can be cancelled before renewal. We don’t offer refunds on the membership fee, but our team works closely with you during onboarding and quarterly reviews (Growth and Elite tiers) to make sure you’re getting value. The most successful facilitators are those who actively bring their existing book of business onto the platform from day one.
Is the platform secure for handling patient data and payments?
Yes. Better is HIPAA-compliant, GDPR-compliant, and SOC 2 audited. Payment infrastructure is built in partnership with Mastercard. Patient data is handled to medical-grade privacy and security standards.
