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.

In the last year, there have been facilitators and companies settle in different areas of the United States. Most of these companies boast in advertising campaigns about being loyal, faithful and truthful to those in need of health care. While some are actually being honest, others are often only attempting to increase revenue. As such, it is often good to check the past history of such companies before making a deposit or making payment.

In most cases, facilitators are providing accurate information. At the same time, there are others whom are being less than honest when it comes to the terms and conditions, pricing or services. Companies which lack honesty and transparency can often put individuals into dire trouble once having arrived at a destination for treatments which, as it turns out, are unavailable.

Once having received such information, it is often advised that clients confirm such findings with the health care provider before reaching a destination. If the information can not be provided directly to a client, then it is advised the client ask the facilitator to acquire information as to the specific and final cost necessary to obtain treatment.

Most often, these businesses will provide reports to health care workers overseas. In most cases, facilitators will also assist clients in acquiring any pre-trip vaccinations, passports or visas required for travel. In the case of vaccinations, it is important to note that these must be obtained at home within a specified period before travel.

In most cases, the cost of facilities will be part of an overall medical travel package. When this is the case, hospital bills, cost of treatment, accommodation, pre and post operative care, sight seeing, 3 healthy meals each day and flight tickets will all be covered. While some facilitators break down the price according to each service for transparency, others bill a total amount without doing so.

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.

Most facilitators also allow clients to discuss experiences with those whom have traveled on such packages in the past. For, past clients can often share information related to the area, medical staff and treatment experience when traveling to the same destination. Regardless of reports from past clients, or talking with medical staff, it is important to use a company offering a return on monies paid should plans change before or during travel.
