What to prepare (so the next step is faster)
- A list of your goals, constraints, and timeline preferences.
- Any relevant medical records (or questions about which records matter).
- A budget range and what you want included in an estimate.
- A shortlist of questions you want answered before committing.
- A plan for how you’ll track appointments and documents.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying on assumptions instead of getting the “who pays/does what” in writing.
- Comparing costs or success rates without confirming the exact definition being used.
- Skipping a professional review when the decision has legal, medical, or tax consequences.
- Waiting too long to clarify timelines, documentation needs, and scheduling constraints.
When to get professional help
If your situation involves cross-state or international elements, complex medical history, insurance uncertainty, or legal/tax questions, get qualified professional guidance early. It’s almost always cheaper (and less stressful) to prevent surprises than to fix them mid-journey.
