Cost Savings
| The single most reason why many people travel around the globe
for medical treatment is due to the huge cost savings. Depending
upon the type of treatment, the country of choice, the uninsured,
and the underinsured and elective care patients can save up to
70% in savings over the cost in US.
| The hospitals that we have partnered have JCI accreditation or are
in the process of getting this accreditation. They have high level
of standards and criteria in the way they treat their patients. Most
of their physicians are educated in UK or US and are board certified.
In addition to the best treatment, these hospitals cater
professionalism, hospitality, cleanliness and safety. In fact, Veteran
travelers know that the hospitals, equipments, instrumentation, and
customer services in these treatment centers are in par with
US based hospitals. Moreover, countries like India and Thailand are
pumping billions of dollars to promote Medical Tourism to
International patients, focusing mainly on high quality care.
| Insurance Excluded Treatments
| We know that even the best insurances in US exclude a variety
of treatments and procedures. The policyholder has to
pay these from the out-of-pocket expenses. Most policies do not
cover treatments such as cosmetic surgeries, dental implants,
vision treatments (Lasik), infertility procedures, weight loss,
rehabilitation programs, prosthetics, etc. Even if the policy
allows such treatments, many place restrictions on
prescriptions, pre-existing conditions, post-operative care and
congenital disorders. Due to these reasons many Americans
are flying abroad to have their treatments done at a fraction of
the cost when compared to US.
| Speciality Treatments
| There are very few procedures that are not allowed in US, either
the congress has not allowed them or it is still in testing and
clinical trials stage. For such procedures and treatments, Medical
Tourism is a viable option.
| Minimum Waiting Periods
| There have been several instances both in US and other western
countries that a patient has to wait for along with their growing
problem, before they get a transplant. This is very common for
war veterans who are covered under Veterans Administration
Act. For such procedures and treatments Medical Tourism offers
the best choice.
| New Country, New Experience!
| While traveling abroad for Medical treatments could be
challenging, many feel the displeasure of the hostile and sterile
environments that they encounter in US hospitals. For some,
exploring new culture, new country is often interesting than
feeling it as a worrisome and tedious process.
