Who should be interested?

As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism's offerings. While anyone is a prospective patient, most of our customers fall into one of the three categories:


  1. Elective surgery: A large number of medical tourists seek out elective procedures such as cosmetic or wellness treatments that are not covered by insurance plans.

  2. Underinsured: As insurers cut back on their coverage and insurance costs skyrocket, more and more individuals find themselves 'underinsured'. High deductibles, wait-lists and limited physician choices force many patients to seek out alternative treatments. Others find that the care they need is not covered under their catastrophic insurance plans.

  3. Uninsured: 16% of the US population is uninsured. These individuals, many of which are self-employed, frequently find themselves dipping into their hard-earned savings to finance their medical care. Medical tourism is an increasingly popular solution among our uninsured population.
