Medical Travel with SurgicalEscape

As medical treatment costs in the developed world increase dramatically, with the United States leading the way, more and more people are finding the idea of international travel for medical care very appealing.

Medical Travel can provide quality treatment at a lower cost for those with a willingness and passion to travel abroad. Globalization of healthcare has created opportunities for people considering medical travel to high quality healthcare professionals to investigate destinations such as Clinica Biblica Hospital in Costa Rica, Barbados and Los Cabos, Mexico.

One of the main attractions for medical procedures in Costa Rica, Barbados and Los Cabos, Mexico is the affordable price. In the US, there are approximately 47 million people without health insurance and 120 million people without dental coverage.

For the uninsured and the under–insured it is very difficult to meet the rising costs of medical procedures. These individuals can expect to save between 50%-75% (depending on the procedure) of these costs by considering medical tourism.

Costa Rica, Barbados, Panama and Los Cabos, Mexico are medical destinations of choice for patients from developed countries due to a combination of many factors: 

• Low waiting periods
• High quality medical care and surgeons
