Locating The Best Medical Tourism Companies

By Catherine Myers


When it comes to quality health care and medical attention, the United States now falls behind other countries. For, while Universal Health Care remains a dream for many Americans, there are no plans in place for instituting such plans. As a result, there are now a number of medical tourism companies moving to, or setting up in the United States.

In most cases, these companies boast about the positive experiences offered to those in need of health care. While this is the case, there are also a number of scams when it comes to this new area of tourism. As such, it is often advised that individuals run background checks and obtain history on any companies of interest.

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.

When researching medical tourism oriented companies, it is important to inquire about the pricing of care, operations and treatments before arriving at a destination. If it is not possible to do so, it is important to ask the facilitator to obtain and provide the exact cost necessary to acquire such treatment and all services provided at such cost.

Most facilitators will also provide a platform for clients to face time or Skype with overseas medical staff to discuss treatment and recovery information before travel. In addition, most will also assist clients in obtaining all necessary travel documents such as visas and passports. Whereas, if vaccinations are necessary before leaving home, a facilitator can also set up appointments and help finalize documented proof that such vaccinations have been completed by a certified and licensed physician.

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 choosing a company, it is important to talk with the medical staff whom will be providing such treatment before providing a deposit or making payment. In most cases, facilitators can set up a conference call between client and medical staff in order for such communication to take place. After which, most clients will have far more confidence in the process and those providing medical attention and treatment.

In almost all cases, facilitators will also allow individuals to talk to past clients to obtain information on the destination and care provided. For, clients can often acquire information which is beneficial to the company as well those having provided treatment in the past. In all cases, it is important to work with a company which will provide a refund should there be a cancellation in plans before or during travel or once having reached a destination.
