SurgicalEscape
As medical costs soar in the U.S., the number of uninsured has swelled, exceeding 46 million, or nearly 16% of Americans last year, according to Census Bureau statistics. As a result, increasing numbers are choosing what is known as medical tourism and heading overseas for more affordable surgeries from highly reputable hospitals. This is a highly specialized niche of travel service that enables clients to travel to a foreign country to receive medical treatment while taking advantage of local tourism opportunities. For most patients, the primary benefit is the huge cost savings. Even accounting for travel and accommodations expenses, clients obtain comprehensive treatment and recovery with total costs equal to a few nights stay in a U.S. hospital. And, while the costs of treatment are dramatically lower, the quality of care is on par with -- if not, better than -that in the U.S. Many of these medical tourists are uninsured or under-insured. Others are going for procedures not covered by their insurance i.e. cosmetic, obesity or infertility procedures. Treatment abroad averages one-eighth the cost of comparable surgeries performed in the United States.
