thank you! Great communication from the beginning and very responsive
to any questions I had, help put me at ease from the start. Quick to
respond and even called.<br />I could never thank you all enough for the
wonderful care I received whilst in India. Everyone was wonderful,
from the sisters to the people bringing and clearing my food. I had a
wonderful experience and will sing praises of the staff and facilities
of the Fortis Hospital in Bangalore! </i></div>

<i><span style="color: black;">I
am doing excellent! I have never experienced any pain, still
continuing with exercises for my hip . I share my story with those that
know and don`t know of my trip to India and Dr. Bose and about
Healthbase. I would do it all again if the need arises. The experience
was diffiently life changing for me! I cannnot say enough awesome things
about Sara from Healthbase,my questions were always answered in a
timely manner ,and we never felt we were alone on our journey. I would
be more than willing to give my number to speak to anyone about our
trip and Dr.Bose! In one word it was amazing! Thanks again! Sandy

We received the following feedback from our customer from AZ state who traveled to India for his knee ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery. His post-op recovery is going very well. He likes to share his experience. Healthbase facilitated his medical tourism trip.<br />
<br />
Dear Sara and everyone at Healthbase,<br />
I'm sorry for the late response, I forgot about replying back to this email as I was focused on getting healthy. I want to say that I greatly appreciate everything your team has done for me. From the first time I talked to Sara to the final time I talked to her I had a great experience. She helped me greatly and I know for a fact that she went above and beyond to help me out. She was in contact with numerous hospitals and doctors in order to get me the best quality and best price available. I know for a fact that I could not have gotten a better price and service than I did with you guys. Throughout the entire process I was informed with everything that was going on. I got to India and as soon as I got in the taxi I had contact with Sara. I spoke to Sara soon after my surgery was finished so that she could check up on my status. I really appreciated that. If I had any issues I had Prasanth there in India at <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/apollo_hospitals_bangalore.jsp">Apollo</a><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/apollo_hospitals_bangalore.jsp"> </a>hospital that took care of everything. I never had anything to worry about. The entire process went well and I would recommend Healthbase to anyone. As a matter of fact I have been spreading the word about Healthbase and I would openly accept for anyone to contact me to hear my experience. I know that having someone to talk to who had recently returned from India for surgery using Healthbase helped me and gave me peace of mind considering I was going across the world alone for surgery. The S hotel where I stayed was very nice and everyone there helped me greatly as I was on crutches and alone and was limited to certain things. The food was great and the conditions were better than I expected. The taxi drivers always knew where to take me and were on time whenever I needed to go somewhere. I had a final check up with <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/Dr_Sanjay_Pai.jsp">Dr. Pai</a> a day before I left and I was given clear instructions on what I needed to do and a clearance to fly before I left. I got home safely. All in all I had a great experience and appreciate everything Healthbase did for me. I can now get healthy again and i'm excited about that. Thank you so much Sara, Prasanth, <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/Dr_Sanjay_Pai.jsp">Dr.Pai</a>, and everyone at Healthbase.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Emanuel O, AZ.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">In December 2011 my hip pain became so severe that
I had to do something. At that point I could only "walk" using
canes or a rollator. Medications to treat the pain were a joke. In
my desperation I started researching <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/countries.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">medical tourism</span></a>
companies and found <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a> and
Moe. Out of the several companies that I contacted, Moe was the only person
willing to help me decide what to do about my hips. At one critical
juncture I had to tell Moe that I couldn`t go through with a <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">surgery</span></a>
and would have to wait. He understood and said <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a> would still be there to help me when I
was ready. All the other companies dropped me like a hot rock when the
prospect of receiving money disappeared.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The second thing that impressed me about <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a> is the connections they have with <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/doctors.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Doctors</span></a> in many parts
of the <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/countries.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">world</span></a>
and especially in India. Moe suggested <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/Dr_Vijay_C_Bose.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Dr. Vijay C. Bose</span></a> at <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/hospitals/india/apollo-hospitals-chennai.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Apollo
Specialty Hospital</span></a> In Chennai, India. Of course, I
checked out Dr. Bose as best as I could. They had several videos that
were quite helpful to me in vetting Dr. Bose and in understanding hip implant
surgery and what to expect. I would watch a video and call Moe to ask
questions. Moe always returned my calls and always had thoughtful answers
to my questions; answers that were concerned about my concerns and never about
money.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">In April 2012 the money for the <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">procedure</span></a>
was wired to the <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a> account. The wire transfer was made with complete peace of mind after talking to the
Vice President of the bank and receiving a glowing recommendation of <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a>. All we had to do was fly to
India and Moe took care of the rest. There were no money surprises
at the <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hospital</span></a>
or the Ideal Beach Resort. All funds were transferred without problem to
who needed to be paid. Even the smallest details were exactly as Moe said
they would be. I had complete peace of mind knowing that Moe took care of
the details and all I had to do was focus on my <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">surgeries</span></a>
and recovery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">I had both of my hips replaced with the <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/medical-procedures/orthopedic/deltamotion-hip-surgery.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Delta Motion
large cup implants</span></a>. These are ceramic on ceramic state of the
art implants that are not yet available in the USA. The <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">surgeries</span></a>
were done one week apart and both <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">procedures</span></a>
went without any complications. Dr. Bose is a fantastic <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/doctors.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">surgeon</span></a> and I would do
this over again in a heartbeat. I will also say that I didn`t have to
have any blood transfusions because of the skill of Dr. Bose and that having
two major <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">surgeries</span></a>
one week apart was a real challenge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">As I write this, I am coming up on 12 weeks post
bilateral surgery. I started driving my standard transmission truck at 5
weeks and riding my bicycle at 6 weeks. I threw away my arm crutches at 6
weeks and can walk a half a mile without aids. I usually ride my bicycle
at least 3.5 miles a day up to 7 miles on occasion with no problems. My
goal is to ride my bicycle 40 to 50 miles per day by this time next year. The muscle tone in my legs is coming back after 4 years of very little
walking! Praise God!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">I would encourage anyone suffering osteoarthritis
of the hips to contact Moe at <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a>
and start your process to regain your health <i>and life</i>. FYI I
am now 63 years young. If you would like to talk to me or e-mail me about
any specifics I would be happy to respond. Ask <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Healthbase</span></a> for my contact information.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

Indiana to India: Dyer woman seeks health care abroad<br /><br />Healthbase
customer talks to nwi times regarding her upcoming spine surgery
medical travel:<br /><br />In less than a week, Erin Tacke will fly 8,500
miles for surgery that could be done five minutes from her house.
Stuck with an insurance plan that won't cover the procedure and
without $100,000 handy to pay out of pocket, the 37-year-old Dyer
woman will have a minimally invasive spinal fusion in Bangalore,
India. "I feel really good about the decision," she said.
"It's a little scary, but that's OK." The fear is quelled
by hope that the ever-present pain, pinching and numbness will be
gone in hours and that a healthier life will come after physical
therapy. The married mother of two, who also is a breast cancer
survivor, is among the growing number of people seeking cheaper
medical treatment overseas. She arranged the surgery through medical
tourism company Healthbase Online Inc. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Bitstream Charter;"><span style="font-size: small;">Healthbase started with
hospitals in five countries and now works with 21. The company links
patients with doctors who offer medical, cosmetic and dental
procedures. Facilities and doctors must meet local and international
standards. The company does cost and doctor comparisons, and the
patient chooses one.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Bitstream Charter;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tacke had a conference
call with her neurosurgeon, who often travels to the U.S. to give
medical talks and even did his clinical fellowship at Wayne State
University in Detroit. "It's not like I picked a name out of a
hat," Tacke said. Tacke, who had a discectomy in 2007, is
covered by her self-employed husband's insurance policy. But the
discectomy — the surgical removal of herniated disc material
that presses on a nerve root or the spinal cord — puts her in
a "pre-existing condition" category. She signed a document
stating medical treatment to her spine would not be covered. In 2009,
the pain returned, and an MRI showed things had worsened. She tried
cortisone shots and physical therapy, to no avail, and has leaned on
narcotic painkillers and muscle relaxers since then.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Bitstream Charter;"><span style="font-size: small;">She said going abroad for
care is the best option for her. The 2010 major federal health care
overhaul, often called Obamacare, does not fully take effect until
2014. "To be asked to hold on for two more years, it's not a way
to live," she said. Tacke said in the U.S. she would have
paid up to $100,000, not including physical therapy, for her surgery.
In India, it will cost $16,000, including the surgery, meals,
airfare, transportation and the post-surgery hotel stay for her and
her mother-in-law. The hospitals have a separate wing for
international patients. The rooms have an extra bed for the patient's
companion, as well as Internet access, TV and DVD player. Some people
picture the impoverished parts of India when Tacke mentions her trip,
but she is quick to show them websites for the modern hospital and
upscale hotel where she will recover.</span></span></div>

He was operated on thrice, at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in India and Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. That’s when I realised that even when the chips are down, the family does not give up, so you have to give it your best,” says the Delhi-based Gupta. He’s a little embarrassed about the emotional outpouring. “Surgeons can’t be emotional, it won’t help the patient on the table. You have to be calm and think clearly,” he says. At 41, Gupta heads neuro-intervention at Medanta – the Medicity, where he moved after doing his MBBS from Delhi’s Maulana Azad Medial College in 1996 and training in neuro-radiology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for three years. “I’m out-doorsy and enjoy swimming, rafting and rock-climbing. I broke my knees twice in school. The <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-procedures.jsp">operation</a> and forced bed-rest for six months slowed me down, forcing me to study which helped me crack the MBBS easily,” he laughs.</p> <p>Dr Deepak Agrawal, 40, Associate professor, Neurosurgery, AIIMS<br />He’s the guy at the frontier, treating accident victims at the AIIMS Trauma Centre, best known for treating some of the bloodiest and most bizarre accident cases in the country. “Most accident victims we get are people with severe head or spinal injuries that are often fatal. It does get you down, but nothing can beat the high of seeing a patient everyone including your colleagues had given up on, walk into your clinic for a follow-up. That’s when you know that miracles do happen,” says Dr Agrawal. Agrawal did his MBBS at the University College of Medical Science in 1994 – where he met his onco-surgeon wife Swati – and his training in neurosurgery at AIIMS. “My professional high was being awarded the ‘Young Neurosurgeon of the Year’ Award by the American Congress of Neurosurgeons in 2008. The personal one was my daughter Ayushi, who is five,” he says. His father Dr Ved Prakash was also a neurosurgeon at AIIMS, so Agrawal’s becoming a surgeon was almost pre-determined. “I like to catch up on my emails before breakfast, so I begin work at 5.30 am. I leave home at 7.30, doing rounds of the ward for three hours, which is followed by surgeries that usually go on till 7. Then come the evening rounds, which finish at 9 pm. Add to this administrative work, teaching and writing and correcting research papers, and my day never seems to end,” says Agrawal.</p> <p>OPHTHALMIC SURGERY<br />Sri Ganesh, 44, Eye surgeon and chairman, Nethradhama Hospital, Bangalore</p> <p>Bangalore residents are used to seeing Dr Sri Ganesh zooming down the streets to his farm on his Suzuki Intruder, which he exchanges for his Audi Q7 or BMW 5-Series when he visits the <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals.jsp">hospitals</a> he set up. “Both my grandmas were blinded with cataract, one because of a botched up surgery. I think seeing them faltering around the house made me decide I wanted to do all I could to help people see,” says the 44-year-old. Eye surgery techniques have become much safer now. “Back then, there were no intraocular lenses (artificial lenses put inside the eye in place of the natural ones) and the failure rate of a simple cataract surgery was 30 per cent, largely due to infection. Now, less than 0.1 per cent cataract and vision-correction surgeries have complications,” he says. Sri Ganesh met his wife Sumanshree at a paratrooping camp in Agra. He was 17, she was 16. “Someone stole my things and she was very sweet,” he says. They married six years later, in 1990, after Sri Ganesh did his MBBS. The couple have three children, Supriya, Sushant and Skanda. Apart from running six hospitals – four in Bangalore, one in Mysore and one in Mangalore – Sri Ganesh runs a 90-bedded charitable hospital in Padmanabhanagar that does 8,000 free cataract surgeries a year.</p> <p>Dr Mahipal S Sachdev, 52, Centre for Sight Group of Hospitals</p> <p>Mahipal S Sachdev, eye surgeon to the rich and powerful, never invests in anything but health. “My last investment was Harshad Mehta and I burnt my fingers there,” says Dr Sachdev. His investments in <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">healthcare</a> – time, energy and money – have shown better results. Sachdev was told he was crazy when he quit as associate professor at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to join the newly-opened Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi in 1996. He was 37. The skeptics got it very, very wrong. Within 15 years of that, he’s running 17 eye hospitals that have become one-stop shops for eye disorders in north India. A year-long fellowship to Georgetown University in Washington DC in ’89-’90 opened his eyes, literally, to the technological imaging and surgical revolution happening in the field of ophthalmology. “I realised less invasive radical surgeries were the way forward, but I needed equipment and trained staff for that. I could not get that in a government set-up. So I set up my own centre, which started in a 8×10 foot room in Safdarjang Enclave in 1996, but we’ve grown a little since then,” he says with obvious pride. Sachdev is arguably the best person to go to for cataract and lasik surgery in India. “This is all I want to do, medicine is in my genes. My mother and brother are doctors, so is my wife Alka and daughters Ritika, 29, and Gitansha, 25,” says Sachdev. Sachdev also has an unexplored, fun side to him. “I did my MBBS from AIIMS, where I was the secretary of the students’ union. We were the ones who threw open Pulse, the students’ festival at AIIMS, to fashion, jam sessions and music. Before that, it was a sporting event. We made it socio-cultural,” he says.</p> <p>COSMETIC SURGERY<br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/doctors/cosmetic/dr.--sunil-choudhary.html">Sunil Choudhary</a>, 42, Aesthetic and Reconstructive surgeon, Max Speciality Hospital, Delhi<br />Quite like modern day Dr Frankensteins, attaching a hand and replacing chopped fingers with toes is all in a day’s work for reconstructive surgeons. Some, like Sunil Choudhary, who head the aesthetics and reconstruction at Max Speciality Hospital, start a conversation with, “Today, I attached two toes and one finger in the right hand of a 16-year-old who’d lost his fingers in a farming accident. He’ll be able to write now”. This is followed by an MMS of a surgery to fix a congenital defect in which a child’s skull stops expanding naturally, squeezing the brain and making it bulge out of the forehead. Unlike popular perception, silicone implants and other cosmetic procedures make up less than a third of a cosmetic surgeon’s case load. “A lot of what we do is related to reconstruction after cancer surgeries and accident cases, including burns and acid attacks,” he explains. Choudhary grew up in Delhi, went to school in DPS RK Puram and did his MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College, after which he joined the training programme of the UK’s National Health Service.</p> <p>Dr<a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/doctors/cosmetic/dr.-shahin-sheriar-nooreyezdan.html"> Shahin Nooreyezdan</a>, 49, Plastic & reconstructive surgeon, <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/hospitals/india/indraprastha-apollo-hospital.html">Indraprastha Apollo</a></p> <p>He insists on giving you a business card. “I’m the only one in the world with this name, so people often get it wrong,” says Dr Shahin Nooreyezdan. There is, however, a little boy called Shahin Sharma, who was called Golu before his grateful parents renamed him after the surgeon who reattached his finger. “It was deeply touching, but also strange. I guess now there’s another person in the world with a very unusual name,” he says. Nooreyezdan grew up in Mumbai, where he lived with his parents in a flat above Russi J Manekshaw, the granddaddy of plastic surgery in India. “Each day, I’d walk past his door on my way home from school and pass this display box with before- and after-surgery pictures, which kept changing every week. I was hooked and decided this was what I wanted to do,” says the Delhi-based Nooreyezdan. He moved to London in 1996, where he worked at St Andrew’s Hospital for three years and met his wife Neda, a British citizen. “When we decided to move back and I went to the Indian High Commission for a visa for my wife, the clerk there said, why are you going? You have a great future here!” he laughs. Most of his work in India is reconstruction. “Unlike other surgeons who can walk in to do the critical part of the surgery, I have to be there from the first incision to the final stitch because what I do is for everyone to see,” says Nooreyezdan, who gets women as young as 19 who need reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. The deft fingers that reconstruct tissues and reattach blood vessels 1.2-1.5 mm in diameter also help him pursue his hobby: collecting and repairing antique clocks. Nooreyezdan has a collection of over 125 pendulum clocks from all over the world, including grandfather clocks from the UK, clocks from ships and railway stations. “It started when I was 17, when I noticed an old, broken, clock at an Irani dhaba. I bought it for R170, got it home and fixed it. I still do it, though I have to pay a guy to wind them up in rotation once a week,” he says. He clearly knows how to wind down.</p> <p>ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY</p> <p><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/Dr_Vijay_C_Bose.jsp">Dr Vijay C Bose</a>, 44, Head of <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/ortho.jsp">orthopaedic surgery</a>, Apollo Chennai<br />He was part of British orthopaedic surgeon Derek McMinn’s crack team that developed the ‘<a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-resurfacing.jsp">Birmingham Hip</a>’ – a hip implant that allows people to play contact sports and twist without shouting after a hip transplant – in the late ’90s. Yet what gives Dr Vijay Bose the greatest joy is recognition from his peers. “Three weeks ago, a renowned <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/frequently-asked-questions-faqs-total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants-india-mexico-price-cost.html">joint replacement</a> surgeon from the US got his son to our centre for surgery. He’s one of the best in the world and could have done it himself, he could have got it done by the best in his own country, but he still came to India. That’s the quality India offers to the world now,” says Bose. Bose, who joined <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/hospitals/india/apollo-hospitals-chennai.html">Apollo Hospital in Chennai</a> in 2000 after six years in Birmingham and Liverpool in the UK, now routinely gets so many patients from overseas that he’s became the face of medical tourism in India for 60 Minutes on CBS News. “I did the first implant in Apollo in 2000 and since then, I have demonstrated the technique across 80 hospitals in India,” says Bose, who did his MBBS from Madras Medical College in 1990. Apart from hip replacement, he does knee and shoulder joint reconstructions.</p> <p>Dr Suraj Guruv, 36, Orthopaedic surgeon, Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai<br />Dr Suraj Guruv’s last holiday was spent shooting wildlife at Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, but he did not break any laws. Guruv is an amateur photographer and rarely leaves home without his Nikon Digital SLR. “I’m crazy about wildlife photography,” he says. When he’s not shooting, Guruv is fixing damaged hips and knees using minimally invasive bone-conserving surgeries in India that make it possible for people to run, drive and work just as they did before, after hip or knee replacements. Guruv is a Mumbai boy, who grew up in Prabhadevi, went to a neighbourhood school, did his MBBS at Mumbai’s Topiwala National Medical College and worked in Bombay Hospital before going to train in Singapore General Hospital. “I belong to a family of chartered accountants, my dad is one, so is my older brother. So when dad said try something else, I thought, why not?” says Guruv, who aced his entrance exam. “Even though I don’t invest in the markets, I still follow financial news very closely, perhaps because that’s what I’ve grown up hearing,” he says. He returned to India because he wanted to be part of the boom in medical care that India is witnessing. “We now have medical facilities at par with any other in the world, with better care,” he says.</p> <p>HEART SURGERY<br />Dr Raja Joshi, 40 Paediatric cardiac surgeon, Apollo<br />He’s called the ‘bandana guy’ because he wears a bandana instead of a surgical cap while operating. Apart from his training as a paediatric heart surgeon during a five-year stint at Cleveland Clinic in the US, what defines Raja Joshi is his bandana collection. “You have to strike a chord with the kids you’re treating, and a bandana with Dalmatians on it sure helps to break the ice,” says the Delhi-based Joshi who, at 36, became one of the youngest surgeons in the country to set up a paediatric <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/cardiac-surgery.jsp">cardiac surgery</a> unit in a major hospital. “My dad was in the air force, I grew up wanting to be a fighter pilot. It was after my class 10 boards that my dad told me there were other ways to earn a living,” he recalls. The idea of being a heart surgeon for children came a year later, after a Doordarshan show on a hole-in-the-heart being fixed. “It was so dramatic, the lights and the surgeons in scrubs, this child being immersed in ice to bring the body temperature down. Suddenly, that was the only thing I wanted to do,” says Joshi. He’s had no regrets. “It’s one of the few surgeries where the patients outlive the surgeons. You won’t believe the number of birthday invites I get. Anyone can do adult <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/cardiac-surgery.jsp">heart surgery</a>, paediatric is what separates the boys from the men,” said Joshi. His wife Reena Joshi, 36, is a paediatric anaesthetist who’s helped him introduce innovations such as letting the mother stay with the child in the operation room till he sleeps. “Taking away a baby from the mother makes anxiety levels shoot up. Keeping them together till the baby is anaesthetised improves surgery outcomes,” says Joshi.</p> <p>Pranav Kandachar, 37, Paediatric heart surgeon, Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai<br />Heart surgery is one of the cleanest surgeries there is, it’s like mathematics. The result is directly related to what you do, there are few surprises,” says Pranav Kandachar, the newest heart surgeon to join Asian Heart Institute’s team of surgeons. “Of course, there are some conditions in which you cannot play god, but in most cases, children can lead active, normal lives after surgery,” he says. After doing his MBBS from Bangalore Medical College in 1997, Kandachar worked at Sion in Mumbai, Apollo Chennai and Colombo, did a year long stint in New Zealand, returned to Bangalore to work at Shirdi Sai Baba Charitable Hospital, and joined the Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai, in January this year. “When you’re training, one institute can’t offer you everything. I’ve trained with the best,” he says. Kandachar describes himself as a nature kind of guy, being big time into hydroponics, a scientific method of growing plants in water – without soil – using mineral nutrient solutions. “I have a virtual vegetable garden in my little balcony, where I grow spinach, beans, cauliflower, coriander and mint. I’m planning to grow strawberries next,” he says. He’s also into ornithology and is part of a nature club that goes birdwatching to sanctuaries at least once a month.</p> <p>Source: HindustanTimes, April 10</p><p><strong>Like it?

With the addition of this JCI accredited hospital, Healthbase now has a network of over 100 <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals.jsp">health care and dental care providers</a> spread across 18 <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/countries.jsp">countries</a>. For the medical tourist it means more choices, wider variety and greater convenience.<br /><br />According to Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of Healthbase, "With growing demands from our consumer base for a quality tertiary <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-in-europe.jsp">medical care center in Europe</a>, we are excited to have our newest Germany-based healthcare provider onboard. Our new member provider is JCI-accredited thereby giving the peace of mind to our patients regarding the high standards of quality that will be delivered by it. Our German provider offers a full complement of services and is an excellent choice for patients looking for orthopedic, spinal and bariatric treatments at a much discounted rate compared to USA and much faster access to service compared to that offered by public health care systems in Canada or the UK."<br /><br />For patients from Europe, especially from the European Union (EU), this would be as good as going to a local hospital with the advantage of high or higher standard of service and without the inconvenience of the infamous waitlists as seen in government-sponsored healthcare systems such as the National Health Service or NHS in the United Kingdom.<br /><br />The hospital offers procedures like joint replacement procedures (such as <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-replacement.jsp">hip replacement surgery</a> and <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/total-knee-replacement.jsp">knee replacement surgery</a>), spinal procedures (such as <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/spinal/spinal-fusion/spine-fusion-surgery.html">spine fusion surgery</a> and <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/spine.jsp">artificial disc replacement surgery</a>), and weight-loss procedures (such as <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/lap-band.jsp">lap band surgery</a>, <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/gastric-bypass.jsp">gastric bypass</a> or RNY procedure and <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/gastric-sleeve.jsp">gastric sleeve surgery</a>), among hundreds of other procedures.<br /><br />The favorable geographical location of Germany means that for patients coming from North America the flight times are shorter compared to other famous medical tourism destinations such as those in Asia. For those traveling from other European countries it is at a stone’s throw.<br /><br />Mohanasundaram adds, "We have carefully chosen our German provider after a rigorous selection process keeping in mind all aspects of affordable, safe and top quality medical tourism care. Patients can expect as much as 50 to 70% less <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/getFreeQuote.jsp">cost</a> compared to the cost of care in other developed countries such as the United States. Also, the staffs at our German provider speak English, thus, making communication easy."<br /><br />Healthbase has the biggest and geographically most expanded network of healthcare and dental care providers in the industry. Patients have a wide selection of destinations to choose from for their low cost high quality medical care and dental care needs. These include Germany, India, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, New Zealand, Jordan, Turkey, Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil, Mexico, and USA.<br /><br />Healthbase serves the American, Canadian, European, African, Asian, Middle-Eastern and Asia Pacific markets, and offers more than 200 procedures.<br /><br /><br /><strong>About Healthbase Online Inc.:</strong><br />Healthbase, an award-winning US-based medical tourism and dental tourism facilitator, is a one-stop source for global medical and dental choices, connecting patients to leading internationally accredited healthcare providers in 18 countries including India, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey, Germany, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and USA.

Domestic medical tourism means traveling from one city to another or one state to another within one's own country for health care that is either not available in one's city or is less expensively available in another city.<br /><br />Domestic medical tourism goes by several other names, such as, medical tourism within US, local medical tourism, inbound medical tourism, out of state medical travel, in-country medical travel, etc.<br /><br />Watch the video below to learn more about this cost-effective way of receiving medical care within the US.<br /><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxQEMezkrHUvxIlY6PjIYfdZvOJoAEvQQh4kVktxBGRfRE2AWjrbWc6oSgg8qlX7LHbPxZigvmALchI5l4-uw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><br /><strong>Benefits of domestic medical travel within USA</strong><br /><ol><li>Low cost for elective high-cost major surgeries</li><br /><li>High quality of care as hospitals are accredited by the Joint Commission (JCAHO)</li><br /><li>Shorter traveling distance compared to international medical tourism</li><br /><li>No language or cultural barriers</li><br /><li>Access of legal recourse</li><br /></ol><br /><strong>Hospitals offering domestic medical tourism</strong><br />Healthbase works with several <a title="domestic providers partnership news" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/cm/Healthbase-Partners-With-US-Based-Healthcare-Providers-Bringing-Medical-Tourism-Into-America.html">domestic providers of quality healthcare that are spread across the United States</a>.

This comes consequently after the recent familiarization tour (Fam Tour) of Jordan and of its world-class hospitals, an effort that was co-arranged by Private Hospitals Association of Jordan (PHA), Jordan Tourism Board, the Jordanian government and Medical Tourism Association (MTA).<br /><br />According to Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of Healthbase, "We are grateful to the organizers for recognizing us as a pioneer and leader in the <a title="medical tourism" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">medical tourism</a> industry and inviting us to the Fam Tour. Through this visit we look forward to establishing partnerships with several health care providers in Jordan. The Jordan Fam Tour has allowed us the opportunity to minutely evaluate the Jordanian healthcare so we can put on offer what's best for our customers."<br /><br /><a title="medical tourism in Jordan" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/cm/medical-tourism-in-jordan.html">Medical tourism in Jordan</a> is ranked first in the Southwest Asian region and fifth in the world, according to one study by medical tourism experts at the World Bank (WB). The Jordanian government has also implemented processes to make immigration for inbound medical tourists quick and easy.<br /><br />"Jordan has quite an advanced health care system and highly educated hospital workforce. Hospital staffs consider English as their second language. Furthermore, the country has several Joint Commission International accredited (JCI accredited) private hospitals which prove that the quality of care offered to international patients is on par with what is provided by their American counterparts," added Mohanasundaram.<br /><br />Treatment expenses in Jordan are only 25% or less compared to the cost in the United States of America, the amount being inclusive of airfare, patient's stay as well as sightseeing tours.<br /><br />"Although the primary reason why our patients travel abroad is to receive affordable top quality medical care, the complete medical plus tourism package that Jordan offers cannot be ignored," noted Mohanasundaram.<br /><br />Jordan, which is a popular tourism destination, received over 6 million arrivals in 2008. Tourist attractions in the country range from ancient historical places like Petra to unique desert sightseeing, and natural locations such as the Dead Sea to cultural and religious sites.<br /><br />With its soon-to-be-announced venture into <a title="jordan medical tourism" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/cm/medical-tourism-in-jordan.html">Jordan medical tourism</a> , Healthbase is poised to continue to offer the most extensive <a title="network of healthcare providers" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals.jsp">network of healthcare providers</a> covering every continent on the globe.

Given the increasing number of <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">patients traveling overseas for medical and surgical care from the US</a>, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has recognized that surgical care has become more readily available in a wider global market, and that it is here to stay. So, the College recently developed an official "Statement on Medical and Surgical Tourism", which according to ACS is "consistent with the College’s longstanding advocacy position of promoting an environment of optimal care for the surgical patient".<br /><br />The College has developed several key principles (listed below) for those who choose to seek <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/registerOptions.jsp">surgical care abroad</a>. The College:<br /><ul> <li>encourages patients to seek care of the highest quality and supports their rights to select their surgeons and health care institutions without restriction.</li><br /> <li>encourages its Fellows to assist all patients in reaching informed decisions concerning medical care, whether at home or abroad.</li><br /> <li>advises patients to consider the medical, social, cultural, and legal implications of seeking medical treatment abroad prior to deciding on a venue of care.</li><br /> <li>encourages patients electing to receive treatment abroad to seek care at health care institutions that have met the standards for accreditation established by recognized accrediting organizations.</li><br /> <li>encourages patients electing treatment abroad to seek care from surgeons and anesthesiologists certified in their specialties through a process equivalent to that established by the member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties.</li><br /> <li>encourages patients receiving treatment abroad to obtain a complete set of medical records prior to returning home so that the details of their care are immediately available to their physicians and surgeons in the U.S. Follow-up care at home should be organized prior to travel whenever possible.</li><br /> <li>encourages patients contemplating medical tourism to understand the special risks of combining long international flights and certain vacation activities with anesthesia and surgical procedures.</li><br /> <li>opposes the imposition of provisions for mandatory referral of patients by insurers to health care institutions outside the U.S., unless such provisions are clearly and explicitly stated in the insurance contract and accepted by the subscriber.</li><br /> <li>supports the view that payors referring patients for mandatory treatment abroad should be responsible for the coordination and reimbursement of follow-up care in the U.S., including the management of postoperative complications, readmissions, rehabilitation, and long-term care.</li></ul><br /><em>Source: <a href="http://www.facs.org/fellows_info/statements/st-65.html">Statement on Medical and Surgical Tourism</a> by ACS</em><br /><br />Like it?

Domestic medical tourism is gathering pace as more and more Americans are now crossing state borders to take advantage of cheaper prices available for quality health care out-of-state. It's amazing to know that the price differential on healthcare within the same country can be tremendous if only you take the trouble to shop for it.<br /><br />Recently <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Healthbase</a> partnered with many health care providers in several states within the United States. The prices on major procedures that these providers offer to Healthbase clients are as low as 10% of the prevailing cost of those procedures in other typical hospitals within the country. <a href="http://www.pressexposure.com/Healthbase_Partners_With_US-Based_Healthcare_Providers_Bringing_Medical_Tourism_Into_America-31876.html">Read more about this partnership.</a><br /><br /><strong>So how can some US providers offer such low rates?</strong><br />Patients can avail of such low rates if they choose the one-pay option. AARP Bulletin Today recently covered the story of Rodney Larson, an uninsured Minnesota resident and a Healthbase customer who had his triple bypass surgery at a heart care hospital in Kansas.<br /><br />According to the bulletin,<br /><blockquote>As a father to nine daughters, electrician Rodney Larson always looks for ways to cut costs. So in 2008 when he was told he needed triple bypass surgery - totaling $80,000 or more - he shopped around.<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YFNy59SgSts/SdwHSQfBz2I/AAAAAAAAAJY/Q_1j2u447YY/s400/american_medical_tourist.jpg" border="0" alt="Rodney Larson traveled within the United States for heart surgery" title="Rodney Larson traveled within the United States for heart surgery" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322136869889232738" /></a><br /></div><br />Larson, 56, of Boyd, Minn., searched the Internet and found a hospital that would do the surgery for $13,200. The facility, <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals_pl.jsp">Galichia Heart Hospital</a> in Wichita, Kan., participates in a domestic medical tourism program run by <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Healthbase Online</a>.<br /><br />Located in Boston, Healthbase is one of a handful of companies reaching out to U.S. hospitals to provide specialty surgeries at much lower costs than traditional providers. The company also offers international medical tourism - in which patients travel abroad for procedures - but is finding a market for U.S. specialty hospitals.<br /><br />Most patients who use <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">medical tourism companies</a> are uninsured and must pay upfront for procedures. Larson liked the one-pay option.<br /><br />"They saved me a lot of money, but the point is, it was excellent care," he says.<br /><br /><em>Source: <a href="http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourhealth/healthyliving/articles/affordable_surgery_closer_to_home_.html">AARP Bulletin Today</a></em></blockquote><br /><strong>Available procedures</strong><br />Most major procedures are available at discounted rates within the US through Healthbase. Procedures fall in the categories of cardiac, orthopedic, bariatric, spinal, etc.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/getFreeQuote.jsp"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Want to know if the procedure you need is available and how much it costs?</strong></span></a><br /><br />Like it?

Healthbase is one company that has been helping American patients connect to affordable hospitals in the US for major surgeries. The author writes,<br /></p><p></p><blockquote><p style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Uninsured Americans also are shopping around for surgery in the U.S. in record numbers, and using new services such as <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" title="Healthbase">Healthbase Online Inc.</a> , a Boston-based medical brokerage that arranges treatments for patients at health-care facilities worldwide. Rodney Larson, a self-employed electrician from Minnesota, used Healthbase Online to arrange a <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/cardiac-surgery.jsp" title="triple heart bypass">triple heart bypass</a> at Galichia Heart Hospital in Wichita, Kansas. He paid $13,000 flat fee for the surgery, about $90,000 dollars less than the rate for uninsured patients in Minnesota.</p><p></p></blockquote><p>The current economic conditions...</p><p></p><blockquote style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Worsening economic conditions have made employers and workers more inventive in dealing with ever-rising health-care costs. Some are taking advantage of new health services that offer fixed rates for surgery to patients willing to travel to get care.</blockquote><p></p><p>The financial benefits of domestic and international medical tourism cannot be overlooked and some insurers have taken active steps to reduce the health care costs for their clients in this slowing economy by offering them medical tourism options. The author mentions about the forward thinking by some health insurers and writes, </p><p></p><blockquote><p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;">It’s a strategy that giving some insurers food for thought. WellPoint Inc., the nation’s largest health insurer, is currently evaluating programs and benefits where customers can "<a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/cm/healthbase-collaborates-with-wellpoint-to-bring-affordable-medical-tourism-solutions.html" title="Wellpoint's offerings">elect to seek certain services at designated facilities for a fixed per-case rate</a> ," according to a spokeswoman, Jill Becher.</p><p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;">Others insurers aren’t sold on asking customers to travel for health care. Aetna Inc. says it already negotiates significant discounts with medical providers. Typically, it pays physicians within three days of submitting a claim, so up-front cash payments aren’t a strong incentive for achieving additional discounts, according to a company spokesperson.</p><p></p></blockquote><p>Request <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/getFreeQuote.jsp" title="FREE quote for affordable surgery in the US or abroad">FREE quote for affordable major surgery within US or overseas </a> </p><p><em>More at: <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/wallet/2009/03/05/would-you-travel-to-save-money-on-surgery/">Wall Street Journal Blog</a><br /></em></p><br />Like it?

By combining Seven Corners' experience in underwriting and administering specialty travel insurance plans, and Healthbase's expertise in matching medical tourism patients with a world-class network of internationally accredited hospitals, the companies have developed the industry's first custom benefits package covering medical complications to be provided to all Healthbase clients.<br /><br />The strategic alliance between Seven Corners and Healthbase is founded on a shared vision to unify patients seeking <a title="medical treatments abroad" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">medical treatments abroad</a> with relevant medical insurance benefits specifically designed for medical tourists. By engaging the companies' unique and expert competencies in their respective markets, the alliance will allow both companies to better serve the unique needs of medical tourists -- ultimately transforming the medical tourism business by reducing patients' medical costs before, during and after treatments abroad.<br /><br />"We are the only medical travel facilitator to provide a custom insurance program to our clients as a further commitment to providing high quality medical travel services at an affordable cost," said Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of Healthbase. "The insurance program enhances our clients' satisfaction in the economic delivery of quality healthcare; whether they are seeking minor procedures like <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/other-procedures/hernia-treatments/">hernia surgery</a>, or major procedures like <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/total-knee-replacement.jsp">knee replacement</a> or <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/spine.jsp">spinal surgeries</a>."<br /><br />The insurance plan provides Healthbase patients coverage for the treatment of common surgical complications such as adverse reactions to anesthesia, stroke, myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, infections and other medical complications incurred during and after their treatment abroad. The insurance plan provides first dollar coverage for medical complications, which further reduces follow-up care and unexpected medical expenses for an uninsured or underinsured patient.<br /><br />"The cost of the insurance plan is a fraction of the overall cost of the treatment, which in and of itself, is significantly less than the expense of treatment in the United States," said Jim Krampen, executive officer of Seven Corners. "The medical complication benefits we designed for Healthbase clients will provide peace of mind and cover the cost to treat medical complications abroad and when they return home."<br /><br /><strong>About Healthbase:</strong><br /><br />Healthbase is a one-stop source for global medical and dental choices, connecting patients to internationally accredited providers in 14 countries including India, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico.

Healthbase will handle all the medical travel logistics and arrangements for WellPoint members.<br /><br />According to Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/">Healthbase</a> (<a href="http://www.healthbase.com/">http://www.healthbase.com</a>), "Healthbase is committed to providing high quality medical travel services at affordable cost. Healthbase will assist WellPoint members with coordination of the trip, medical appointment scheduling, digital medical records transfer, and <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-plans-for-insurers.jsp">concierge travel service</a>."<br /><br />Under this program, effective from January 2009, members who travel for certain non-emergency elective procedures like <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/ortho.jsp">joint replacement</a> and <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/cm/spine-fusion-surgery-spinal-fusion-in-india-apollo-hospitals-indraprastha-wockhardt-chennai-bangalore-new-delhi-hyderabad-mumbai-medical-tourism.html">spinal fusion</a>, will have access to Joint Commission International accredited <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-in-india.jsp">healthcare providers in India</a>.

"We will be monitoring every aspect of this very closely, to make sure everyone is satisfied and there are good clinical outcomes."<br /><br />By the year 2010, more than 6 million Americans annually will be seeking <a title="medical treatment abroad" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">medical treatment abroad</a> , according to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, a consultancy. The potential savings are significant. <a title="knee surgery" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/total-knee-replacement.jsp">Knee surgery</a> that costs $70,000 to $80,000 in the United States can be performed in India for $8,000 to $10,000, including follow-up care and rehabilitation, Dr. Hashmi said. Similar savings could be achieved for such common procedures as <a title="hip replacement surgery" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-replacement.jsp">hip replacements</a> and <a title="spine surgery" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/spine.jsp">spine surgery</a> .<br /><br />If other insurers follow Wellpoint, Dr. Hashmi said, the trend ultimately may pressure on United States hospitals to be more competitive in their pricing.<br /><br />Critics say that's unlikely.<br /><br />"There have been some reports of hospitals that have been willing to match the prices, but I don't know how they're doing that," said Howard Berliner, a professor of health policy and management at State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. "The reality is there's just no way that most hospitals can respond to this. It's just like any service that's outsourced - the price is so cheap abroad that there isn't much an American company can do about it."<br /><br />At the same time, he said, the program could potentially siphon off the healthiest, most profitable patients from a local hospital.<br /><br />Dr. Hashmi predicted that the program would appeal primarily to people who have traveled abroad. Many employees of Serigraph, which has offices in India, are familiar with the country.<br /><br />"The quality is comparable" to care provided in the United States, Dr. Hashmi said. All the physicians speak English, and patients can share their medical records and consult with a surgeon in India before making the trip, she said.<br /><br />The pilot program arranges for patients to be picked up at the airport and provides special meals to prevent food-borne illnesses. The program complies with the American Medical Association guidelines on <a title="medical tourism" href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">medical tourism</a> and uses hospitals accredited by the Joint Commission International.<br /><br />Dr. Hashmi said it had actually been easier to evaluate the quality of medical care abroad than in the United States. "There is a lot more willingness to share data about complication rates, the total number of procedures and the outcomes," Dr. Hashmi said. "We're able to get detail per hospital and per physician."<br /><br />In addition to saving out-of-pocket costs for surgery for patients, the program could potentially help keep insurance premiums affordable, Dr. Hashmi said.<br /><br /><em>More at: </em><a title="News source" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/21/health/21abroad.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss">NY Times</a></blockquote><br /><br />For information about affordable surgery overseas, visit <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Healthbase</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Healthbase is the trusted source for global medical choices, connecting patients to leading hospitals world-wide, through a secure, high-tech, information-rich web portal.

The high cost of Birmingham hip resurfacing surgery in the United States plus the lack of expertise in this procedure in the country continues to drive scores of Americans to India.<br /></strong></em><p>Nov. 21, 2008, Boston, MA. Healthbase Online Inc., an award-winning <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp" title="learn more about medical tourism">medical tourism</a> facilitator based in Boston, Massachusetts, helps an Arizona-based former ballet dancer treat her hip osteoarthritis in India. 53-year old Katharine Frey who had arthritis in both her hips traveled to Apollo Hospitals, Chennai to have her hips resurfaced and availed of the 85% discount on the cost of the surgery.</p><p>"I have appreciated everything we have experienced and received at the <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hospitals.jsp" title="Apollo Hospitals">Apollo Hospitals</a> . Everyone has been very kind, supportive and helpful," says Katharine after her <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-resurfacing.jsp" title="hip resurfacing surgery">hip resurfacing surgery</a> last winter. She was so happy with the quality of care she received at her overseas hospital that she went back a few months later to have her second hip resurfaced.</p><p>Being uninsured, the $60,000 required to have a single hip resurfaced in the US seemed out of reach for Katharine. This led her into researching her other option - surgery overseas - and contacting Healthbase who coordinated both her surgeries in India for $8,000 each. The price included doctor's fees, physical therapy and a week in the hospital.</p><p>According to Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/" title="Healthbase">Healthbase</a> , "Our clients prefer going abroad for <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-resurfacing.jsp" title="Birmingham hip resurfacing">Birmingham hip resurfacing</a> because it is a fairly new procedure in the US but has been in use, say, in India, for many years. Being a major procedure it demands years of practice on the surgeon's part to gain proficiency. The fact that Katharine went back to have her other hip resurfaced in India speaks volumes about the high level of satisfaction with our service and that of our partner hospitals and surgeons."</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/testimonials.jsp"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YFNy59SgSts/SSZwZN5-VcI/AAAAAAAAAH8/ZGJMOH7JxWM/s400/Healthbase_Medical_Tourism_Patient_Katharine_Frey.jpg" alt="Katharine Frey taking off on a paragliding flight just weeks after her Birmingham hip resurfacing surgery in India" /></a></p><p>Katharine returned to work merely two and a half weeks post operation and to teaching ballet twenty days post operation. Katharine actively participates in swimming, yoga, hiking, paragliding, and cross-country road trips. "She has no pain in her hips and is moving and functioning like a normal human. I am so grateful and am enjoying watching Katharine return to life," remarks Scott Martin, Katharine's husband.</p><p>Katharine was operated upon by Dr. Vijay Bose and his team. Dr. Bose, a specialist in Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, Joint Replacement and Sports Medicine, has over a thousand BHR surgeries under his belt.<br />"Beyond the cost savings, the attention given was remarkable. Dr. Bose and his qualified staff will always be remembered for this," adds Katharine.</p><p>Impressed by the high quality of care in India, even Scott, who accompanied Katharine to India addressed some of his <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/dentals.jsp" title="periodontal issues">periodontal issues</a> through dental scaling and crowns at Apollo Hospitals while Katharine recuperated after her second Birmingham hip resurfacing surgery.</p><p>"It has been a positive life changing process for both of us.

The prosthesis consists of steel components: a socket, ball, and stem.<br /><br />The outer shell of the socket is usually made of metal and the inner shell consists of plastic, or the entire socket may be plastic. When the metal ball is joined with the socket, the new hip can allow for smooth, nearly frictionless movement.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>What are the different hip replacement implant options available?</i></b><br />The materials used in the implant depend on several factors, including the age of the patient, the activity level of the patient, and the surgeon's preference.<br />Below are brief generic descriptions of some of the most commonly used hip replacement implants.<br /><br /><i>• Metal and Plastic Implant</i><br />These are the most commonly used hip replacement implants. Both the ball and the socket of the hip joint are replaced with a metal prosthesis, and a plastic spacer is placed in between. The metals used include titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chrome. The plastic is called polyethylene.<br /><br /><i>• Metal-on-Metal Implant</i><br />In this case there is no plastic piece inserted in between. Metal-on-metal implants do not wear out as quickly as the metal and plastic materials.<br /><br /><i>• Ceramic-on-Ceramic Implant</i><br />Ceramic bearings are available in 2 configurations: a ceramic femoral head (ball) with a polyethylene liner, or a ceramic femoral head (ball) with a ceramic liner. These are designed to be the most resistant to wear of all available hip replacement implants and they wear even less than the metal-on-metal implants. Ceramics are more scratch resistant and smoother than any of these other implant materials.<br /><br /><i>• Metal and Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene</i><br />One of the more commonly used implants are new types of plastic that are designed to be more resistant to wearing out. These so-called highly crosslinked plastics are manufactured in a way that they wear out less quickly than the traditional plastics. However, since these implants have been available only for a few years, no long-term data is present to establish how well they work compared to the traditional plastic implants.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>How is the implant affixed in the body?</i></b><br />This is achieved in one of three ways:<br /><i>• Bone Cement:</i> A special type of bone acrylic cement may be used to secure some or all of the implant components to the bone. If used, the bone cement takes about 15 minutes to set.<br /><i>• Press-Fit or Cementless:</i> The implants may be "press-fit" into the bone. Press-fit components may have a special porous coating that allows bone tissue to grow up to it for fixation.<br /><i>• Combination:</i> Depending upon the implant components and condition of the pelvic and thigh bone, a combination of cement and press-fit attachment may be used.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Who are some of the hip replacement implant manufacturers?</i></b><br />Some of the hip replacement implants manufacturers are:<br />• <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/depuy-hip-replacement-implants-medical-tourism-affordable-india-asr-xl-pinnacle-corail-summit-s-rom.html">Johnson & Johnson DePuy</a><br />• <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/stryker-hip-replacement-implant-systems-medical-tourism-india-thailand-affordable-prosthesis.html">Stryker</a><br />• <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/biomet-total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants-components-prosthesis-india-mexico-cost-price.html">Biomet</a><br />• <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/zimmer-hip-replacement-implant-cemented-cementless-press-fit-india-affordable-medical-tourism.html">Zimmer</a><br />• <a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/orthopedics/total-hip-replacement-surgery-implants/smith-nephew-hip-implant-systems-medical-tourism-india-thailand-affordable-photos-description.html">Smith & Nephew</a><br /><br /><br /><b><i>What activities can I do or not do after receiving a hip joint replacement?</i></b><br />• Typically, patients are advised to avoid high impact sports such as jogging, basketball, racquetball, gymnastics, etc.<br />• Safer activities may include walking, golf, swimming, and bicycling.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>What is the MIS (minimally invasive surgery) approach in total hip replacement surgery? What are its benefits?</i></b><br />The MIS approach (also known as "keyhole surgery") in total hip replacement (THR) is an alternative to the traditional total hip replacement surgery. Traditional surgery involves a long incision and the surgeon has to cut muscles, tendons and ligaments to access the hip joint. The more tissues that are cut, the longer it usually takes patients to heal. The MIS approach is a less invasive approach of doing a hip replacement surgery in which the size of the cut is reduced. Newer surgical techniques and tools allow MIS surgeons to place the same hip implant in a manner that allows muscles and tendons to be avoided or separated, rather than cut. This makes rehabilitation faster and less painful and causes less scarring.<br /><br />Some of the potential patient benefits of the MIS procedure are:<br />• A single, smaller incision<br />• Less tissue trauma<br />• Spares muscles and tendons, allowing for the possibility of a faster recovery<br />• Faster and less painful rehabilitation<br />• Shorter hospital stay<br />• Smaller scar<br />• Reduced blood loss and less need for pre-surgery blood donation<br />• Faster return to work and daily activities<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Is there an alternative to total hip replacement?</i></b><br />Hip replacement is usually considered for patients who are older than 60. For younger active patients, a different surgery called <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/hip-resurfacing.jsp">Birmingham hip resurfacing</a> is a better alternative. <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/comparing-hip-resurfacing-and-hip-replacement.jsp">Compare hip replacement with hip resurfacing</a>.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>How much does a total hip replacement surgery cost?</i></b><br />Check out:<br />• <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-in-india.jsp">Hip replacement in India</a><br />• <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-in-belgium.jsp">Hip replacement in Belgium</a><br />• <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism-in-mexico.jsp">Hip replacement in Mexico</a><br /><br /><br /><b><i>Who are some of the well-known surgeons who perform the hip replacement surgery?</i></b><br />• <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/Dr_Vijay_C_Bose.jsp">Dr. Vijay C.

Patients from European countries and other nations looking for top quality care in the United States also stand to benefit from this partnership.<br /><br />According to Saroja Mohanasundaram, CEO of Healthbase,<br /><blockquote>Majority of our clients from North America are drawn to <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">medical tourism</a> for the cost advantage it offers. However, some may not be able to take advantage of it due to the travel involved. So Healthbase has negotiated with US-based providers to offer the same top US-standard quality of care to our customers at a much reduced rate than what is prevailing.

Cancer is a condition in which cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. Although there are many kinds of cancer, they all start because abnormal cells grow out of control. <br /><br />Cancer cells develop because of damage to DNA. Most of the time when DNA becomes damaged, either the cell dies or is able to repair the DNA. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired.<br /><br />The 5 most common cancers in women and men in the US are discussed hereunder:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/images/newsletters/newsletter_0808/healthbase_breast_cancer_symptoms_medical_tourism.jpg" align="right" alt="Illustration of symptoms of breast cancer" title="Illustration of symptoms of breast cancer" /><br /><b>BREAST CANCER</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Breast cancer</a> is the most common type of cancer amongst women and accounts for 1 in 3 of cancer cases. Breast self-exams (BSE), clinical breast exams by a medical professional and screening mammography may help in early detection of this cancer. Most experts recommend that women age 20 and older examine their breasts once a month during the week following the menstrual period. Women between the ages 20 and 39 should have a doctor examine their breasts at least once every 3 years. After age 40, women should a clinical breast exam every year. Breast cancer is more easily treated and often curable if it is found early. Breast cancer can occur in men as well though women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer then men.<br /><br /><b>CERVICAL CANCER</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Cervical cancer</a> which attacks the neck of the womb, is the second most common cancer affecting women under the age of 35. Regular pap smears can help detect this cancer in its early pre-cancerous stage which is 100% treatable. A new vaccine to prevent cervical cancer is now available.<br /><br /><img align="left" src="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/images/newsletters/newsletter_0808/healthbase_prostate_cancer_awareness_blue_ribbon.png" border="0" alt="Spread Prostate Cancer Awareness" title="Spread Prostate Cancer Awareness" /><b>PROSTATE CANCER</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/oncology---cancer/cancer-treatments/prostate-cancer-staging-surgery-chemotherapy-radiation-therapy-hormonal-proton-cryosurgery.html">Prostate cancer</a> is the leading cancer for men in the US. Prostate cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms. The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, although some studies have shown a relationship between high dietary fat intake and increased testosterone levels. Early identification is now possible by yearly screening of men over 40 or 50 years old through digital rectal examination (DRE) and PSA blood test.<br /><br /><b>LUNG CANCER</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/oncology---cancer/about-cancer/lung-cancer.html">Lung cancer</a> is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. This cancer is more common in older adults and rare in people under age 45. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. So if you smoke, quit. It is never too late to stop smoking. You should also avoid breathing in the smoke from other people's cigarettes, cigars, or pipes.<br /><br /><b>COLON CANCER</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/oncology---cancer/about-cancer/colon-cancer-or-colorectal-cancer.html">Colon or colorectal or bowel cancer</a> is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Nearly all colon cancers begin as non-cancerous (benign) polyps, which slowly develop into cancer. Colon cancer may be associated with a high-fat, red meat and low-fiber diet. Smoking cigarettes is another risk factor for colon cancer. Colon cancer can almost always be caught in its earliest and most curable stages by colonoscopy. All men and women aged 50 and older should have a colon cancer screening.<br /><br /><br /><b>FURTHER READING:</b><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/oncology---cancer/about-cancer/what-is-cancer.html">Causes and symptoms of cancer</a><br /><a href="http://www.healthbase.com/resources/oncology---cancer/cancer-treatments">Commonly used cancer treatments</a><br /><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">Affordable cancer treatment</a><br /><a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/doctors_pl.jsp">Find a cancer specialist</a><br /><br /><br />Like it?

Using the surgical method of urinary reconstruction and diversion a new way is created for the patient to pass urine.<br /><br />There are three main types of urinary diversion surgeries<br />• Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion<br />• Indiana Pouch Reservoir<br />• Neobladder to Urethra Diversion<br /><br />For all of these procedures, a portion of the small and/or large bowel is disconnected from the fecal stream and used for reconstruction.<br /><br /><strong>Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion:</strong> The ileal conduit urinary diversion surgery is used in patients who have had their bladder removed and is usually used in conjunction with radical cystectomy in order to control invasive bladder cancer. In this procedure, the ureters are surgically unattached from the bladder and a ureteroenteric anastomosis is made in order to drain the urine into a detached section of ileum (a part of the small intestine). The end of the ileum is then brought out through an opening (a stoma) in the abdominal wall. The urine is collected through a bag that attaches on the outside of the body over the stoma. The bag must be periodically emptied of urine.<br /><br /><strong>Indiana Pouch Reservoir:</strong> The Indiana pouch surgery is used for patients who have had their urinary bladders removed as a result of bladder cancer, pelvic exenteration, bladder exstrophy or who are not continent due to a congenital, neurogenic bladder. In this procedure, a reservoir, or pouch, is created out of approximately two feet of the ascending colon and a portiom of the ileum (a part of the small intestine). The ureters are surgically removed from the bladder and repositioned to drain into the pouch. A piece of small intestine is brought out through a small opening in the abdominal wall called a stoma. Since a segment including the large and small intestines are utilized, also included is the ileal-ceceal valve. This is a one-way valve located between the small and large intestines which normally prevents the passage of bacteria and digested matter from re-entering the small intestine. After a period of several weeks, the body adjusts to the absence of this valve by absorbing more liquids and nutrients. Unlike other urinary diversion and reconstruction techniques, the Indiana pouch has the advantage of not using an external pouch adhered to the abdomen to store urine.<br /><br /><strong>Neobladder to Urethra Diversion:</strong> With the Neobladder to Urethra Diversion procedure, the intent is to create a new bladder that mimics the storage function of a normal urinary bladder. The surgery makes a reservoir or pouch by utilizing a small part of the small intestine and connects the pouch to the urethra. The ureters are repositioned to drain into this pouch. As in normal urinary system, urine is able to pass from the kidney, to the ureters, to the pouch, and through the urethra out of the body.<br /><br />For information about <a href="https://www.healthbase.com/hb/pages/medical-tourism.jsp">affordable urinary diversion and reconstruction surgery</a>, check out <a href="http://www.healthbase.com">Healthbase</a>.<br />Healthbase is the trusted source for global medical choices, connecting patients to leading hospitals around the world, through secure and information-rich web portal.
