A Twist On Your Family’s Vacation – Medical Tourism

Looking to add a twist to your next vacation?

Why don’t you combine medical travel and save a bunch in the process?

It’s getting toward the end of May, and you are probably looking forward to your kids getting out of school so you can get away for a couple of weeks during the summer. After all, pending quality time with the family is one of the most rewarding activities regardless of the destination!

However, if you think about it, medical tourism makes sense for the entire family:

Medical travel, medical tourism, health tourism, health travel or however you want to refer to it usually combines a popular exotic vacation spots with medical some sort of medical, dental, or cosmetic surgery treatment, but you will usually enjoy a savings of up to 80%, depending on your chosen procedure.

More and more people are finding out about medical tourism from family, friends, and colleagues who have had great experiences traveling abroad for healthcare.

Is yours a family of four with two school-age children who need dental care?

It seems hard to imagine, but you can travel to Costa Rica, have a great vacation at an all-inclusive resort, visit the dentist, get dental care for the entire family, and you will probably spend less than you would have paid at home just for the dental work!

What if you need a comprehensive medical exam?

If you want to get a complete physical, you can schedule one which will include blood work, oral screening, a treadmill heart stress test, and it will cost you a fraction of what it would have cost at home. And you can get it all in while you are having a great time on your family vacation!

Do you have a high deductible?

Many people run into the problem that they are insured, but they have a very high deductible. In fact, Medical Tours Costa Rica had a patient whose deductible was actually higher than the price he was charged for a double knee replacement operation.

If you are uninsured, if the treatment you seek has not been approved in your home country, or if your insurance will not cover the procedure, then you are a typical candidate for medical tourism.

What about savings on other procedures?

If you need other types of treatment, the savings depends on the type of procedure you need. For example, double knee replacement surgery can cost in excess of $100,000 in the United States. In Costa Rica, the same surgery at a world class hospital by one of the foremost orthopedic surgeons in the region is around $20,000. That’s a savings of over 80%!

If you have been saving up for a procedure at home, you have probably saved enough already to travel to Costa Rica, get the treatment, and spend some time in a luxurious, all-inclusive resort or a recovery spa that will cater to your every need!
