INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL TOURISM Tour & Travel Organizers Ltd. in collaboration with World Traveler News have compiled this up to date information about traveling out of the United States for medical procedures at great savings and top notch doctors and hospitals. The most common procedures people elect Medical Tourism for are things that are voluntary/elective medical services and/or those not covered by their health insurance. All types of cosmetic surgery and dental work are the most common, but even procedures such as knee replacement which costs approx $50,000 in the USA is about $13,000 in other countries. Typically costs are less than 1/3 the prices here in the USA. Then there is the question of where to go, and who can arrange it for you. Both answers are available at Tour & Travel Organizers Ltd. so just email then at [email protected] . Let me give you an example of some of the best places to think about if you are considering Medical Tourism…. SOUTH KOREA South Korea is a frontrunner in the race for International Medical Tourism and is aggressively courting medical tourists. This country manages to ideally balance between reasonable prices and top-notch facilities and doctors due to huge funding by the government for cutting-edge hospitals and training of surgeons. Low costs and incredibly personalized care is the reason why over 50,000 medical tourists a year visit South Korea. Catering to foreign tourists means short waiting time for procedures that might mean a lengthy wait time back in the USA. Located a short distance from more expensive and highly popular locales in Asia and Latin America, South Korea makes a much better choice. MALAYSIA – MODERN HEALTH CARE Malaysia is one of the wealthiest countries in Southeast Asia. Modern high-rise buildings, shopping complexes in Kuala Lumpur are in stark contrast to the surrounding countryside and historical villages. Medical tourism is popular in Malaysia because procedures are cheaper than in the USA and Western Europe. Modern hospitals have state of the art equipment with fully qualified and highly skilled doctors. Malaysia is also a wonderful country for travelers with a perfect mix of luxury, and its natural beauty as well as amazing cuisine. Malaysia’s healthcare system is quite advanced and especially that there are private hospitals that cater to foreigners looking for high-quality, low-cost medical procedures. Malaysia, although multicultural, has English as the norm for communication which sets it apart from other Asian countries promoting medical tourism. Malaysia is most known for cardiac bypass surgery and fertility treatments as well as cosmetic surgery. In Malaysia you can expect no less than a modern facility with advanced equipment. No wait times are the norm for cosmetic surgery, and you can opt for a package deal that includes luxury accommodation for post surgery convalescence. Some examples: • Breast Augmentation typically in the USA is $9,000+ while in Malaysia it is $3,000 • Rhinoplasty typically in the USA is $10,000+ and in Malaysia it is $1,200 • Bypass surgery in the USA typically exceeds $50,000 and in Malaysia it is about $11,000 Convalescence is typically onsite or near the hospital at a 5-star accommodation. COSTA RICA – AN AFFORDABLE PARADISE The epitome of paradise, foreigner friendly and full of life with the experiences and aesthetic beauty of Costa Rica’s delicate beaches, mountains and rainforest and unique plant and wildlife species make this one of the best places to relax and convalesce after surgery. Costa Rica’s wealth of high-grade medical facilities, world class medical professionals and a World Health Organization acclaimed healthcare system put it on par with developed nations like the USA. Known as the Switzerland of South America, Costa Rica offers a wide variety of procedures such as dentistry, cosmetic surgery, and aesthetic procedures, bariatric and laparoscopic surgery, orthopedic surgery as well as fertility and addiction treatments. Savings on treatments in Costa Rica ranges from 50% to 90% of the typical prices in the USA, and is usually much more affordable than many Asian prime medical tourism destinations. Aftercare services are remarkable in the sunny climes of Costa Rica, and English is widely spoken throughout the country and medical circles. Costa Rica as a destination is much closer and easier to reach than most of the Asian countries as well. SUMMARY As you can see International Medical Tourism is widely accepted and has some of the most highly trained physicians and surgeons, state of the art hospitals and clinics, low or no waiting for procedures, low cost, and the luxury makes most USA hospitals look like old fashioned. Tour & Travel Organizers Ltd. can help you make informed decisions if you are considering a procedure that your healthcare provider won’t pay for (such as cosmetic surgery) or that your medical plan will still leave you with high cost still due out of your pocket. Some health insurance carriers have even approved international medical tourism care for procedures they normally pay for because it saves them money as well – so don’t be afraid to ask your provider.
