Patients and Medical Tourism
The Medical Tourism Association™ is the first international non-profit association made up of the top international hospitals, healthcare providers, medical travel facilitators, insurance companies, and other affiliated companies and members with the common goal of promoting the highest level of quality of healthcare to patients in a global environment. Our Association promotes the interests of its healthcare provider and medical tourism facilitator members. The Medical Tourism Association™ has three tenets: Transparency in Quality and Pricing, Communication and Education.
Medical Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries within healthcare. Medical Tourism offers a unique opportunity for patients to receive significant savings on major healthcare expenses such as major surgeries while receiving a high level of quality of healthcare. Several Insurance Companies have implemented medical tourism or “pilot” programs in medical tourism because of their belief in the high quality of healthcare available. Such companies are: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, WellPoint, Swiss Re and others.

Updated June 2011: Prices do not reflect PPO or network discounts. Prices will vary based on zip code, region, provider, and other factors. Prices are an estimate and do not include airfare or hotel accommodation for the patient or a companion. Travel costs, including airfare and hotel will vary depending on country and also the length of stay for recovery. There are certain US hospitals that have streamlined costs and are active in promoting medical tourism that costs are much more affordable than those listed on our price chart. For a list of these hospitals please contact the MTA.
