Health Travel is a Safe and Rapidly Growing Practice
Health Travel, also known as medical travel or medical tourism, is the process of traveling abroad to obtain general medical, dental or cosmetic surgery at costs often significantly lower than those found in the U.S. health care system.
It is estimated that more than 2 million Americans have already traveled abroad for medical care. Experts predict the $20 billion health travel market will explode to more than $40 billion in the next few years, with 6 million U.S. patients per year traveling abroad for health care.
Did you know… Mexico is the top medical travel destination for Americans who seek dental care, weight loss surgery, orthopedic and cardiac care and stem cell procedures in the new, modern hospitals of Tijuana, Mexico City, Merida and other major Mexican cities.
More and more people are learning that countries such as Mexico and Costa Rica provide a very high standard of medical care at prices from 30% up to 80% lower than the U.S. health care system, with a level of caring and service that many say are unmatched.
