What exactly is Medical Tourism?
Medical Tourism is a fast growing worldwide phenomena where uninsured or underinsured individuals are able to travel to a foreign country for medical, dental, or cosmetic treatment and quality post-care. Internationally accredited and recognized hospitals offer medical treatment at a fraction of the cost for the same treatment inside the United States. This presents tremendous savings to the patient without sacrificing quality of care. During post-care, patients may choose to relax and recuperate in idyllic surroundings, with beautiful beaches, and go on guided tours of the local tourist attractions in the host country.
