Discovering 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 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.

Most often, facilitators are being honest when providing information on various services and treatments. At the same time, there are others whom are being less than honest when it comes to guarantees, terms and conditions, services or pricing. When this is the case, the companies are putting clients at dire risk if one can not receive treatment as planned when reaching a destination.

The pricing of care, services and treatment are some of the most aspects to verify with the health care provider before reaching a destination. If this is not possible, ask the medial travel facilitator to provide the exact amount necessary to receive such treatment and all services providing for that cost. For, a good medical facilitator will provide help during every step of the journey.

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.

The cost of facilities in most cases will be part of a full travel package. Most often, these packages include the cost of flight tickets, a breakfast, lunch and dinner per day, sight seeing, pre and post-operative care, accommodation, treatment and hospital bills. Whether broken down by line item, or billed as a full package, all these and associated other costs are often included.

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.

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.
