What is the normal difference in the cost of medical care between the United States and abroad?
The Medical Tourism experience is comprised of two components – the cost of medical care and travel costs. The difference in the cost of high quality medical care between the United States and the countries that are in the MTI Network is normally 50% to 75%. Furthermore, the more expensive the medical procedure is in the United States, the greater the difference in cost. For example, the difference in the cost of cardiac bypass surgery between the United States and MTI Network medical centers is normally over 80%. Travel costs vary by country but usually start at $2,500 per person including the cost of a Destination Coordinator, ground transportation and hotel reservations. If a medical procedure costs $50,000 in the United States, the cost of the same procedure at a MTI Network medical center and travel costs will be approximately $10,000.
