Medical Tourism Costs
THE COST OF OUR SERVICES
QUALITY HEALTH CARE AT AFFORDABLE PRICES
Patients who travel abroad to a foreign country for medical and dental care do so for many reasons. The two most important are to find affordable care and to find quality care. And as is the case with most things in life the old saying – you get what you pay for – also holds true in medical tourism.
MEDICAL TOURISM COSTS – THE SAVINGS
Health care and medical tourism costs abroad are significantly less than what they are in the United States. Depending on the country savings can range from 40% to 90%. For example, a knee replacement in the United States costs approximately $45,000. The same surgery in Costa Rica costs less than $10,000. A heart bypass in the United States can cost up to $140,000 and in India the same surgery will cost $9,000. Despite the big difference in cost as long as you choose a quality provider the level of care is equal to the best in the United States.
MEDICAL TOURISM COSTS – THE QUALITY OF CARE
Medical tourism costs and quality of care generally go hand in hand. One of the common mistakes that medical tourism patients make is to base their decision solely on the lowest medical tourism cost and by trying to save a few extra dollars end up getting inferior quality of care.
COSTA RICA MEDICAL TOURISM SERVICES – OUR PHILOSOPHY ON COSTS VS QUALITY
At Costa Rica Medical Tourism Services we place the quality of care above all else. We will under no circumstance try to save our patients money on a medical or dental procedure if it means compromising quality.
Costa Rica Medical Tourism Services and its experienced management team have gone to great lengths to provide excellent medical care at affordable prices. We have selected the best providers and negotiated excellent prices. We have also stayed away from the cheapest providers and those who compromise quality in exchange for cost. Be warned that there are many medical tourism health care providers (facilitators, doctors, clinics and hospitals) all over the world that will jeopardize quality so as to obtain the lowest cost. It is very common.
OUR MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE IS ON PAR WITH THE VERY BEST IN THE UNITED STATES OR EUROPE.
In general our patients will save between 50% and 75% on any medical or dental procedure as compared to costs for the same procedure in the United States. However, it is important to emphasize that the quality of care provided by our medical and dental facilities will be on par or better than the very best available in the United States.
COSTA RICA MEDICAL TOURISM SERVICES – SUPERIOR CARE AT ALL LEVELS AND IN ALL PLACES
Costa Rica Medical Tourism Services provides a superior level of care because we work as a vertically integrated company. This means “we”, ourselves, handle every step of a patients care. We are directly involved in supervising a patients “medical trip”. From the minute the patient arrives in Costa Rica until we put him on the plane home we are there every minute.
Furthermore, we have our own extensive network of “follow up” doctors in the United States to take care of our patients when they return home.
THE BEST EQUIPMENT AND THE BEST MEDICAL PERSONNEL
This includes the doctor or dentist as a professional, the equipment used is state of the art, the medial protocols and techniques used by the doctors are the most recent and the condition of the clinics and hospitals where the procedures are performed are modern and much nicer than most facilities in the United States.
