Medical Tourism for Surgery Needs
Sometimes the best or most affordable option is for a patient to travel to receive specialty care, especially for surgery and other procedures. This is commonly referred to as “medical tourism.” In the past, this has implied leaving the US; however, there are several US surgery centers catering to direct-pay patients.
It is valuable but not always necessary to help your patient navigate this process. Your knowledge of medical tourism options can be very reassuring for patients when this feels very different and may be hard for them to consider the idea. Familiarize yourself with large direct pay centers in the US.
A few of these options for patients to consider:
