Pricing Considerations:
- NEVER choose your surgeon & hospital solely based on price.
- Safety, quality and service are equally important when it comes to your health.
- Your challenge is to find the best VALUE, not price.
We understand that price is an important factor when considering your medical tourism options. That's what motivated you to look outside of North America for your medical care. Although we've negotiated more favorable pricing on your behalf, many other factors must be considered before choosing your surgeon and hospital. And, the underlying criteria should always be your safety. With this in mind, seek the very best medical travel value based on safety and quality.
Word of caution: When researching costs abroad, be sure to compare all related expenses of receiving your surgery overseas. The only way to accomplish this is to provide a host of information about your specific medical condition in order to receive an accurate itemized quotation. Beware of package pricing.
ONLY consider price quotations that are based on the assessment of your personal condition. Package pricing may not be all inclusive of your specific medical needs.
Other Price Considerations:
- We have found that you can find almost any price your are looking for over the Internet when searching for health tourism options. Since your ultimate selection should be taken very seriously, it may not be prudent to simply go with the lowest price.
- Beware of “Package Deals” that some companies offer. When traveling abroad for medical treatment, medical packages are virtually impossible to successfully manage and are considered to be the "HMO level" of overseas healthcare.
- Make sure that before you travel, you receive a very detailed, personalized, firm price quotation that itemizes all related costs.
- We have found that if your procedure in North America will cost $6,000 or less, it is generally not financially advantageous to travel abroad for treatment. Once you add on airfare, hotel accommodations, and other travel essentials, the net price of your procedure may exceed what you will pay at home.
