Discovering The Best Medical Tourism Companies

By Catherine Myers


Locating quality and affordable health care in America is almost impossible. For individuals whom are covered by employers or can qualify for discounted rates under the Affordable Care Act, it is often easier. In either case, whether needing a major procedure not fully covered under insurance, or not being able to acquire coverage, medical tourism companies now provide an alternative.

As of 2018, there are a number of medical travel facilitators and companies which can provide such service. Most advertise by boasting about loyal and faithful services on company websites. While this is the case, there are some which are being truthful, and others which are only attempting to boost revenue. As a result, when seeking out a company providing this type of travel, it is important to do background checks and research any company of interest.

Most often, companies who pay for high dollar advertising in this area are being honest. Whereas, individuals listing services as a medical tourist facilitator most often are not. As such, it is important to verify prices, terms and conditions, services and treatments with overseas health care providers, or obtain such information from a facilitator. For, if an individual arrives at a destination, then can not receive treatment, the outcome could be dire.

When researching medical tourism oriented companies, it is important to inquire about the pricing of care, operations and treatments before arriving at a destination. If it is not possible to do so, it is important to ask the facilitator to obtain and provide the exact cost necessary to acquire such treatment and all services provided at such cost.

Most often, these organizations will also provide reports to overseas health care providers and can assist in obtaining all paperwork required for travel such as passports and visas. While this is the case, if there are vaccinations required for travel to various countries, those must be acquired in the country of origin before leaving home.

Most often, the cost of facilities including sight seeing, 3 meals per day, hospital bills, cost of treatment, labs, post and pre-operative care, flight tickets, and hospital bills are included in a package. While some facilitators break these costs down, others simply provide an overall price for the entire package. In either case, there are often payment plans available for those whom are in need of financing.

When selecting a company offering these services, it is important to choose one which will allow clients to talk to medical staff overseas before making a deposit or payment. Most reputable facilitators will provide for a video conference between those whom will be providing treatment and clients when and where possible. After which, clients can often get a good idea and feel more confident about the overall experience.

Lastly, most facilitators allow clients to talk to others whom have received such services in the past. In doing so, clients can acquire information on how similar health problems were addressed at the same destination. Beyond all else, it is important to choose a company which provides a money back guarantee whether based on a client changing plans, or when expected services and treatments are not provided at a destination.
