Medical Tourism

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling overseas to receive Medical, Dental and Cosmetic Care. Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Surgical Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Outsourcing and Medical Value Travel.

Significantly MedicoGlobal LOWER COST for BEST practice care are usually the primary motivation in medical tourism although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of treatments that are not available in their home country. While abroad, patients also often take benefit of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.

MedicoGlobal can facilitate a variety of medical tourism services from basic consultations to full service treatment abroad. We help you to take care of all the medical tourism details from arranging the surgery and financing options to travel and tourism.


Who should be interested in Medical Tourism?
As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism's offerings. While anyone is a prospective patient, most of our medical tourism customers fall into one of the four categories:

1. Medical Tourism for Elective Surgery:

A large number of medical tourists seek out elective procedures such as cosmetic or wellness treatments that are not covered by insurance plans.

2. Medical Tourism for Underinsured:

As insurers cut back on their coverage and insurance costs skyrocket, more and more individuals find themselves 'underinsured'. High deductibles, wait-lists and limited physician choices force many patients to seek out alternative treatments. Others find that the care they need is not covered under their catastrophic insurance plans. An alternative to withdrawing from their precious 401K is to seek healthcare overseas or medical tourism.

3. Medical Tourism for Uninsured:

20% of the USA population is uninsured. These individuals, many of which are self-employed, frequently find themselves dipping into their hard-earned savings to finance their medical care. Medical tourism is an increasingly popular solution among our uninsured population.

4. Medical Tourism for Others:

In some cases, even for insured people, the cost of treatment overseas is less than their out-of-pocket amount in the USA. If you are a Baby Boomer you do not yet qualify for Medicare or Medicaid for your urgently needed surgery. For others who have lost their group coverage due to retirement, the surgery or procedure they need may not be covered under the Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits. Under such circumstances, medical tourism is the most viable option.



How can hospitals offer such low rates?
As you know healthcare is one area where quality is more important than cost. So how do our hospitals provide high quality at such low rates? Fees in the USA are driven by labor overhead, administrative expenses, and insurance contracts. Over 71 percent of hospital costs are labor related according to a recent World Health Organization report which helps to explain some of the cost advantages for countries with low labor costs.

MedicoGlobal eliminates these burdens by connecting patients directly to surgeons and hospitals in our medical tourism partner network, allowing us to offer premier services at prices unavailable in the USA.
