Patients from US Are More Informed about Medical Tourism
This past March, Healthy Travel Media published a consumer guidebook, the first of its kind, entitled, Patients Beyond Borders: Everybody’s Guide to Affordable World-Class Medical Tourism. The book covers topics regarding travel to countries like Thailand and India, cheaper health care abroad, and the savings potential despite the current lack of health care insurance coverage. Through the guide, Americans can learn of medical treatments at lower costs. There are also suggestions for 22 medical tourism destinations worldwide including Thailand, India, the Philippines, China, and other. The author highlights the best facilities in those countries offering savings of up to 75% for procedures like dental work, heart surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, LASIK, fertilization procedures, cosmetic surgery, and stem cell treatments.
Better Understanding May Lead to Affordable Health Care Insurance
Americans uncertain or curious about medical tourism to the Philippines for example now have a single point of reference to help them plan their travels in search of cheap health care. Growing numbers of Americans are traveling overseas for medical care. The costs are more affordable and the health care is becoming more and more credible as doctors receive additional expertise, oftentimes in the West. Furthermore, U.S. insurance companies are entering partnerships with overseas hospitals to proved coverage and compete more readily. According to the author, Josef Woodman,
“Medical tourism is not about fun in the sun; it is part of a global shift in healthcare services, and smart American health consumers are taking advantage of the high quality care and lower costs waiting for them overseas.”
Woodman also says, “Many of the 85 million uninsured and underinsured in this country are one diagnosis away from having to put a second mortgage on their homes to pay for an unaffordable treatment.” The book, Patients Beyond Borders, helps alleviate the unaffordable health care insurance burden by letting other Americans know cheap health care does indeed exist.
