Using a Medical Tourism Company

Using a Medical Tourism Company



There are hospitals that directly try to access the North American market. We believe that you will be better off using the services of a reputable medical tourism company, also known as a health care facilitator. Here’s why:

1. Hospital and doctor prequalification. When you look on the internet, you don’t know which hospital is good and which one is not. Same with the doctors. A good medical tourism company has done extensive research in selecting the best hospitals and doctors for you, thereby eliminating a lot of work, or even better, prevent you from making the wrong decision as to which hospital you trust with your wellbeing. Ask your medical tourism company if they have visited the hospitals they work with in person.

2. The power of numbers. Because a well established health care facilitator brings a lot of business to a specific hospital, they have a very strong negotiation position. Over time, they will also have developed personal relationships with many people in the hospital. You will directly see the results of that when it comes to which doctor will treat you, the room type that you will get, the amount of personal attention, etc.

3. Hassle free. If you choose a medical tourism company that is based in the US, you can talk to them in your own time zone, or close to it. They will arrange for the medical diagnosis to take place by electronically submitting your information to your doctor abroad and present you with a treatment approach developed by him. The health care facilitator can get you on the phone with the doctor to finalize some details. We will also help you obtain a passport and visa, advise you on the best travel and hotel options. You usually will be greeted at the airport.

4. Follow up. Because their ongoing relationship with the hospitals abroad, a good medical tourism company can make sure that you will get the attention that you need when it comes to after care when you are back in the US.

Overall, a reputable medical tourism company provides end to end services that start well before and finish well after you undergo the actual medical treatment. The best news is that they usually only charge a nominal fee of a couple of hundred dollars for all of the above. I believe that you will agree with us that that is a small price to pay.
